Richie" is a five year old gelding at 16.2 hh. Richie had 19 starts, 7 wins, 3 places and 3 shows. He was quite the race horse and was still racing competitively at Los Alamitos when he bowed a tendon and needed to be retired. He would be a nice pasture ornament that can carry a child on walks around the farm. In time Richie recovered from his bowed tendon track injury in the right leg and it hardened to the point where it is no longer causing him any problems. However, Richie developed bone spurs/occulets in his left foot. Our vet has said that he is not in pain but that this infirmity limits his ability to carry a rider. Thus, Richie can now only be a pasture pet or companion equine. He could carry a child for occaisional walks.
He is very gentle.
