Needy Nags
Sum Superstar is an
adorable two-year-old,
15.3hh Thoroughbred
gelding. He loves to
check everything out,
including anyone who
walks into his stall.
You will be checked
out from head to toe
starting with sticking his
nose right in your face
like it’s a perfectly acceptable thing to do. You can’t help but laugh
at him because it is all just the innocence of a young, inquisitive
horse. He doesn’t think he is a baby though, especially when
working under saddle. He has the work ethic of an older horse with
the occasional long look at things unfamiliar to him. He does best
when he is allowed to look at anything scary and then go back to
work. Star is still a baby after all. He is very athletic, has nice gaits
and is already balanced and light in the bridle and is learning to stay
in a rhythm and keeping his focus in the ring. Because he is only
two he will need a rider with experience working with very young
horses. With his star packed lineage and athleticism, he should be
able to be very successful in whatever discipline he does. He will
be suitable for any discipline. Star is available for adoption from
New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program’s Marysville, Ohio
facility. For more information contact
