About this item

Breed: Thoroughbred Gender: Gelding Age: 2 Height: 14.0hh Color: Gray Disciplines: Prospect for Any Discipline Adoption fee: $850 Location: Second Stride — Crestwood, KY 2 yo thoroughbred colt bred in KY Tacitus (Tapit) out of Glorified by Honour and Glory Growing every day! He cannot be started under saddle until he is at least 2.5 years old, December 2026. He has a misalignment in his right hock. We do have x-rays. He is currently sound and needs to be allowed to develop before being started under saddle. Arthur should be sound for trails and possibly flatwork. He is not registered. Arthur is an intelligent and curious horse who bonds closely with his daily handlers. He is walking well on a lead rope and is respectful of his surroundings and people. He loves being groomed with a soft curry, stands quietly to have his blanket put on, and is easy to halter. He gets his feet picked daily and is working on standing quietly for the farrier. He will need practice with flay spray and baths. Arthur enjoys pasture time and is the leader of his herd. We haven't noticed any vices. Arthur is brave when away from the barn. He bravely hand walks through the farm and attached wooded area with bravery. He stops to check things out but boldly continues forward. He is a very kind gelding who trusts his handlers and enjoys being around them. Arthur's adopter must be experienced yearlings and must commit to waiting until he is at least 2.5 years of age before starting him under saddle. Second Stride is a rescue; this horse is for adoption, not for sale. Rescue website: https://www.secondstride.org
