    Racket- 7yr 16.3 h gelding sired by Will Take Charge out of a The Factor mare https://www.pedigreequery.com/racket13 Racket had 44 starts for 107k and last raced on 8/17/26. Retired sound, no injuries and no vices. I LOVE the breeding on this one for sport. Just wow!!!!

Talk about a classy classy horse! He has the most stunning head/eye. I am so big on a horses eye and his is just beautiful. There are horses that I can promise you are going to be UL types and he is one of those horses. Yes, it has taken him a bit to just loosen up in terms of being muscle tight but I think what I saw in him is finally showing through. This horse has an incredible canter and jump. I am talking scope galore. Brave jumper. Game! Wants to do the jump. His work ethic cannot be beat (I mean duh Tb's are the best but he is ultra cool) and he just gets better and better considering he is less than two months post racing. He is still RRP eligible as we have tried to keep him eligible while still showing him off a bit.

We have done some light rides on him in the ring where he is just so darn lovely. What a pretty shape this horse makes in his body. Super uphill. The canter is just so nice. He has been introduced to jumping in the ring and boy was he game for that! He also has been ridden out in the fields and jumped around all the scary xc jumps from barrels, scary black pipes and more. He is just bold to the jumps.

He traveled off the farm to trail ride where he lead most of the way but was also happy to follow. He loves the water! Was great across ditches, bridges, traffic and much more. You can see him just strolling along on a loose rein. We even practiced jumping some logs in a group to mimic hunting. I truly think this one will make the ultimate foxhunter!

He went xc where he stood tied to the trailer, great to tack up, warmed up as quiet as they come. Happy to leave his buddy or stand quietly and take video when his buddy was going. It was his first time out there but he was giving leads to the 3yr over the ditches and more. He quietly jumped around in a rubber bit. His balance is so beautifully uphill. Even when he had some awkward jumps he just came back better and better. Game over ditches, through water, up and down banks and so much more. Brave, bold but also sensible!

He is fantastic in the barn, turnout, shipping, clipping, baths, grooming, tacking, mounting and honestly all the things. I love these older horses because they have seen it all and then some! He is no drama!!!

I think the world of this horse. He is quite fancy, gorgeous but also safe and dependable. You know there will be no antics or silly stuff. Go be competitive but have fun while doing it.
