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.

Always encourage curiosity and bravery in "scary" Always encourage curiosity and bravery in "scary" situations. Cats were playing in this box when we walked in from the arena. Louie spooked, so the first order of business was to check it out! Young horses need to be shown how to be curious and not fearful. We went from being scared of the "moving puma box" to not wanting to leave the new toy. Gosh I love young horses!
