How tall is he? And for that matter how tall is Ashado? She doesn't look huge from her picture.

I imagine he's a smaller foal as her first foal, but I like his looks. He does look juvenile, though, doesn't he.

This may be an opportunity for the Indy Mood mares in Indiana. Check out the cross with Mood Indy Glow. Whomever owns her - get a deal now and send me breeders rewards when you get a big winner.

Immature does not even begin to cover this little colt. His conformation photo looks like a sales photo for a 2 year old in training.

He is well balanced, and has a pedigree, but thats all I will give him.

we don't know when the picture was taken; it could be him as a two year old. Gosh, if it is a current picture it is a very tiny immature stallion though!

good point, but green grass on the ground.. It was taken last summer,, so um yeah I guess he was still 2!

Well he has only been a 3 yo technically for a little over 3 weeks, so I would say it is safe to say that pic was probably taken as a 2 yo.

I don't see any leaves in the trees in the background of the photo, and there's none on the ground so I'd say that photo was taken in the spring of his 2yr old year. Of course he's going to look smaller and immature. Give him a year and I'm sure he'll be quite an attractive young guy.

Can't say as I agree with him hitting the shed as a baby 3yr old though. Haven't heard anywhere why he never made it to the track, or why they didn't give him more time and try at a later stage.

What do you suggest that the owners should have done with him ? ..... I guess he was not sound enough to make the races or may have had some issues... I am not saying that I agree with the 3 year old stud duty by hey...Why not.. He's well bred, doesn't look that strong but he's very young. What would you have done with him, had you owned him?.....

I would have taken a solid look at those tied in tendons, that wanky right foreleg, and gelded him. Moved him down the road as a trail horse.. another crooked Storm Cat.

I personally would have turned him out until he was 3 and then tried him at the track. If you arent making it at 2.. then there is always another year to follow.

Madelyn hit the nail on the head though.

If he did have breathing/soundess issues do the world a favor and Not breed him.
