Needy Nags
Stormy Ocean
is a six-year-
old, 16.2 hand
T h o r o u g h b r e d
son of Stormy
Atlantic. Stormy
has
quite
a
presence with an
intelligent
eye,
long arched neck
and his graceful,
sweeping walk.
He is pretty special and he knows it. Stormy will make a lovely
dressage prospect as he seems to be dancing through all his
gaits. Not literally dancing like a nervous horse, but he just feels
pretty and light on his feet. His neck lends itself naturally to
stretching long and low. He is very good at collection, though he
actually has a tendency to overly collect himself and needs to
work on lengthening his stride through his shoulders and back.
Stormy is extremely intelligent and can learn very quickly. He
will need an advanced rider who can ride smart, not forceful.
He prefers a soft ride with a light seat, leg and hands. Stormy
is suitable for flat work disciplines and some occasional low
jumping. Stormy is available for adoption at New Vocations
Racehorse Adoption Program’s Lexington, KY facility. Adoption
fee: $600. For more info please visit
