(view all 2008 TB Adopted)

Colby is truly a very kind quiet gelding especially for his young age.  On the ground he is a perfect gentleman and has great manner.  He is the  type of horse that you can just go in his stall and hug and love on all day and he will enjoy every second.   Colby raced 7 times last year as a 2 yr old but he never really was competitive.  He also never went fast enough to injure himself.  He officially retired from the track in December, had a month and half of turn out and then made his way to us in February.  Being that he is just turning 3  he has done very well with just a short amount of arena work.  Colby has proven to be a very willing partner who wants to learn.  He has a solid foundation and simply needs someone to continue to show him the ropes and slowly introduce him into his next career.  Don’t let  his height fool you… he is still growing!  He doesn’t feel small to ride because he has a large barrel and longer step.  He would be a great project for just about any discipline including jumping, pony club, or eventing.  Colby has nice conformation and is well balanced.  He is of the Mr Prospector and Seattle Slew decent.
