11yo Bay Thoroughbred Gelding Loves People

Additional Comments:
"Luke" is an 11 year old ex-racehorse, a beautiful guy with a wonderful personality and sweet disposition. I've owned him for close to 7 years and have only ridden him a handful of times, but he has been on several trail rides in the mountains and at the beach with his previous owner. He has a pretty, ground covering stride, carries himself well, is smart and eager to please. He does have a couple of irritating "race horse" habits, mostly getting way behind the bit, but he has never done anything crazy or dangerous and though he's not a hot horse, I probably wouldnt reccommend him for a timid beginner, maybe a confident beginner who has a trainer. Luke is a half brother to millionaire and Multiple Graded Stakes winner Bet On Sunshine, who set the course record for 6 1/2 furlongs in 2001. His sire, Alwuhush, stands in Germany and has sired some successful jumping and steeplechase horses. His pedigree goes back to Man O War, Swaps and Native Dancer among others. He's been a wonderful "pasture pet" for these past few years and is pretty low maintainence for a TB. He was never injured during his racing days (or after), he's never coliced, he's a fairly easy keeper. He has been barefoot most of the time, but if he is going to be ridden more than occasionally, he does need to be shod. I do not have an arena, but I do have miles of trails, so if you want to take Luke for a test ride, it will either be outside, or in my neighbors tiny arena. He clips, loads, hauls, trims and bathes easily and loves to drink from the hose.

Shipping Notes:
If you need him shipped, you will have to arrange that on your own. I don't have a trailer.
