Murray D is an 11 year old, approximately 16.2 hand, bay gelding who came back to us recently from an adopter through no fault of his own after nearly 8 years in his previous home. He has settled in very quickly to life at ATR and is a real sweet boy. He loves being groomed, stands great on the cross ties and eats all the treats he can get!

This grandson of Storm Cat never did race, but was in training as a 2 year old many years ago. He is sound, though came back to us with some feet in rough shape which we're working on improving. Murray does have an old sesamoid fracture but one that healed very well and he has a history of being in work for most of the last 8 years. Our vet said he could go on to do just about anything!

We are still getting to know Murray under saddle after his time away. We've been told he's done some hunters (including up to 2' jumping), some light cross country schooling, and even some polocrosse training, though not all in recent history. He's had at least 6-9 months off most recently after his adopter was in a car accident. He needs refreshing and he needs conditioning, but he's been off to a good start with a couple evaluation rides in our round pen.

Right now he is a bit unbalanced at the canter (though it's comfortable), but otherwise so far has been straightforward. He has an average amount of Thoroughbred energy and we're excited to get more rides on him and report back on his progress.

A note on his photo:
This is an old photo from when he was last with us as a 3 year old! We will update his photos when we have a chance.
