Real Quiet shuttling

Postby Bohemia » Fri May 08, 2009 4:44 pm

Real Quiet is shuttling to Haras Cuatro Piedras in Uruguay, it was announced today. He's 14 ... do you think he's still young enough to adjust to the traveling and added breeding? I guess I always thought that younger stallions were the prime candidates to shuttle. Real Quiet's had his issues over the years, too, so I'm just wondering if this is a good idea.

It probably isn't but what can you do?
