(view all 2008 SB Adopted)

What a nice fellow!  Nonnel raced 221 times over nine years and certainly has the wisdom to show for it.  He’s got over 5,000 miles in harness, has had at least a 1000 baths, been shod 100 times, and shipped 50 – 75 times.  What a war horse.  Nonnel had been ridden a couple of times at the track so when I got on him in the ice, snow, and frigid air, he acted like a seasoned trail horse.  We walked down the road on a loose rein.  He wasn’t concerned with going over the bridge, barking dogs or traffic.  I was so pleased with his demeanor that I broke out singing “Happy Trails!”   Nonnel has a smooth trot on a loose rein or will gait if you collect him in a leverage bit.  He stands to be mounted and stands when you stop him along the road.  This is one agreeable fellow.   He’ll make a sweet 4-H project or all around family pleasure mount.
