Inquire about this Horse

What a soldier!  This amazing horse has fought many and won many battles.  He received an honorable discharge after his last race Feb 10th.   He’s healthy, fat, and fit for a new career as a pleasure mount.  Honorable Guy is by the top national sire Yankee Glide who stands for $15,000, and believe me, Guy shows that kind of class.  He has an exquisite head, large intelligent eyes, and incredible wisdom.  Guy raced 145 times throughout Ohio and Canada.  His legs reflect old injuries over the years, but he’ raced with them and continues to move quite sound.  He spent some time in the middle of his career in the Amish country, before returning to the track and winning an additional $65,000.  I don’t know that Guy had ever been ridden before the day I tacked him up and took him down the road.  Like most harness horses he didn’t understand leg aids at all.  It was simply “kiss” to move forward and pull the reins in the direction you want him to go.  He handled it all very good naturedly.  Though Guy raced on the trot, he paces going slow.  He will  trot out if pushed faster on a loose rein.  This fellow stands quietly to be mounted and stands like a statue when you say “whoa.”   He’s ready for trails right now, and any competent person can ride him.  Honorable Guy would be a good candidate for historical reenactments or for a family to ride or drive.  He has terrific manners on the ground, in the cart, and on his back.  His former owner said kids could even jog him.  This handsome fellow is a treasure from the track that deserves to be honored and appreciated for his many years of service.
