Description
Have you seen WalkOnTheWildSide?
Wally is a huge (almost 16.3), 2 year old, bay gelding that came to us in partnership with Beyond the Wire. He only raced one time and "wasn't going to be the next American Pharoah" so he is lucky to retire early and sound!
This handsome fella is by Golden Lad and out of a Milwaukee Brew mare. This means he has so many greats in his pedigree: Medaglia d'Oro, El Prado (IRE), Seeking the Gold, Wild Again, Mt Livermore, to name a few without going back too far!
WalkOnTheWildSide had a clean evaluation with our vet and is not expected to have any limitations. While he was perfectly sound for his intake evaluation, he has been tender footed since having his shoes pulled and getting TLC to help them toughen up. Absolutely should be no deterrent for anyone adopting a HUGE baby horse who needs time to finish growing up. That time can be used to let him develop great feet! The farrier says they're off to a great start.
Wally is currently turned out with a group of geldings. He's easy to catch and handle and very sweet. He has no vices and is submissive in the herd structure.
Priority will be given to an adoptive home willing to give him time to grow before going into full work as he's only two years old, and to someone with experience to bring a young, green racehorse along when he does return to work.
