This handsome son of Gulch sold for 120k as a two year old.  He has great conformation and over all is a classy guy.  We just started working him under saddle and he has proven to be rather lazy.  He is a big stout guy who really isn’t in a hurry.  Gulch isn’t hot or spooky but is green.  He only raced 5 times and only as a 3 year old.  Thus his legs are clean with no apparent injuries.  Gulch was retired early due to a cyst in his throat.  We have had him scoped.  The vet report was 50/50 in that his condition could stay the same or could get worse.  So far it has not affected him for flat work, and didn’t affect him during race training, however, was obviously an issue when racing.  We have waived his fee because of this issue.  He goes out fine with other horses and hasn’t shown any vices.
