Travis had a less than fabulous track career and just did not have the heart for it. He retired sane and sound and has quickly become a barn favorite with his sweet, quiet demeanor since August 2016. He had the entire month of August and most of September to come down from racing and was slowly started back under saddle. He looks like an old english thoroughbred, with long legs, a lean body and smaller ears. He is exceptionally quiet w/t/c working on relaxation, balance, and straightness and is jumping small courses of 2’3″. This handsome boy has legs for days and the quietest footfalls you will never hear. His long sweeping canter will take you down the lines. He will excel in any discipline. He loves being the center of attention, always in a calm manner. Travis will make someone a beautiful prospect with low miles to finish your way. His topline is filling out nicely and he is in training on our HorseGym USA treadmill 3 days per week. Already ridden by short stirrup riders and Jr. Amateurs, Travis is ready for a new home.

When you continue to raise the next generation of When you continue to raise the next generation of horsemen/horsewomen in the industry, you can't help but sit back and be in awe. The amount of collegiate level riders (NCEA and IHSA), trainers, and industry professionals that have come out of our program is astounding. Someone has to create the important individuals in our sport, not just the horses, and I'm happy to be a part of so many of their stories! Ava is a senior in high school and now beginning to braid. Braiders are the unsung heros in this industry and frankly a dying art. We are so proud of you @avablankenship42 !!
