Mattski 185 Report post Posted August 28, 2017 Do we sometimes focus on height too much and forget about length? i.e. I think Dundeel was barely 15.3 but he seemed to have good length which helped him have very good stride length. Race horses are runners not high jumpers aren't they? Pam Robson and Belinda 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galloping around a 4 acre paddock babysitting although we can catch the youngster he's proving rather elusive in retirement.

jess 1,244 Report post Posted September 3, 2017 Ha ha Ben - granny geldings are supposed to teach the youngsters good habits!! Maybe he is trying to tell you he wants to have a more active retirement! (show hunter??) Nevertheless I'm sure he's well loved and looked after and if he passes on to the babies how to win races he'll be worth his weight in gold Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
