Experienced Eventer
Ive owned Lars since 2019. I bought him directly off the track at age 9 (he wasnt racing competitively at this point, but because of his quiet and genuine nature they held onto him to train amateur jockeys).He still has some quirks from his racing days which Ill start with:He is not smart around fences (hes got scars on his back legs to show for it and for this reason lives in paddock boots 24/7).He can still be horse-shy at times. Particularly in the warmup ring. Hell need someone with confidence to ride him out of it when it does arise. The good news is that it is actually easy to do once you build a relationship with him and know the trick. His horse shyness is genuine rather than any dirt on his part.

Ive ridden him through town regularly past guard dogs, trucks and all sorts of chaos and hes been cool as a cucumber.Lars would suit a confident rider wanting a capable, experienced horse to co...
