16 plus hands. He last raced on 4/29/23 and retired with a small knee chip, right front. The chip is removable.
Lute currently turns out with other geldings and does great. He is quiet under saddle and is an easy ride. Very well behaved and intelligent.
He was castrated on 5/11/23.
Lute is a great all-around package with looks and personality! He is quiet in his stall and enjoys watching what is happening on the farm. He is well behaved and gentle – very pleasant to work with. Lute is respectful of his handlers and is quiet for grooming and bathing.
Lute is cleared for any discipline but may need performance injections in the knee to help with soundness if he is in a more athletic career. The knee chip could be removed for greatest future activity levels. Lute will benefit from a long warm up before getting to task.
Lute was good for the vet and farrier and enjoys attention and grooming. He will make a nice prospect for any partner that has the time to bring him along correctly.
