Hi Thanks. Che is a great looking horse, and stands out in a crowd. He's the best looking stb I have seen so far... which sounds bad coming from me as I own him! lol, but even people who have had million dollar stbs have said so, so it's not just me... but we love him for his personality first and foremost. He has great action, and is very brave so I think that he will do well in his future, hope so anyway! lol lol
He's supper bred, so that helps, a well bred horse is a well bred horse in any breed.

Thanks again for the nice words. deb

Thanks!! I'm trying to load a video I took of my coach on him today, but I only got about 30 seconds because I wanted to watch!

That is really awesome that you took a stb in.  They make great horses for any discipline.  They are also a lot of fun and smart as heck as well.

I race and ride them, and have been involved with them since 1989, my husband has had them since 1970, so you can probably tell they are our favorite breed.  I have four stbs. at this point, Che (6, bay stud), Tattoo (9, bay gel), Steel (10, bay trotter gel pony), and Riley (5, bay trotter gel).  They are all race horses, but Tattoo has been retired due to an unknown ailment- at this point he cannot be ridden or raced and is enjoying a life of leisure.  Stbs as you might or might not know vary is size and looks, mine range from 14.3 (15 h in trotting feet) to 16.3 1/2, and dark bay to very light, with some white to none at all!  from a Morgan/Arab looking pony, to a WB, to TB looking horses- two pace, two trot, and Tattoo who has no trotting blood at all can trot faster than the two who are pure bred trotters with no pace! 

Your fella looks like a cool customer, and loads of fun... all the best of luck with him, he is a lucky boy that you took him in.

 

Take care

Cheers from

Deb
