Storm
Thoroughbred gelding (unregistered), 6
years old, black with white blaze, 15.3 hands. Too green to mess with,
I think.
Owner described him as "very
fast," which
was alarming, but she says he isn't fast in the arena, just in a
field. He's
been ridden and jumped, but likely not shown,
and has been ignored lately. She said she had jumped him, but he
is
untrained, it seems, and tends to over-jump the obstacles. Perhaps
she doesn't work with a trainer. Sounds very dicey,
but
we checked him out anyway. He's
very, very cheap (probably too good to be true). He had thrown a
shoe (and I had
just been thrown by Elegante),
so I didn't ride him. Some of his mane and tail have been rubbed
off or bitten off by other
horses.
He has the dreaded ewe neck, and when running in the round pen crashed
into the side of it a few times. Very
sweet temperament. But at that price something must be very wrong.
I said something about my dream
horse being black with a white blaze.
Jason said, "My
dream horse has wings."
