That WAS his track name...and he was a promising young fella until a suspensory rupture ending his rather lucrative career! Off to a rescue...fate uncertain at best....and I picked him up and gave him to a young polo playing kid as a "character & Horsemanship" training excercise. Spent 3 months with stall rest, hand/lead rope walks, 15 minutes cold water on the injury, etc...That was a year ago. Now?
He's healed to 97 percent on that rupture according to the last ultra sound last fall.
Dare has turned into a hearty horse, doing LOTS of trail riding, still totally sound. Nice feet and good legs...actually went on a very long one trail ride with his partner in life just yesterday..several hours along the snowmobile trails around here. Miles and Miles.
Here's what he was doing this winter....

He's in the back ground with his partner in life following thru with that mallet.
