16 hands. He last raced on 6/5/24 and retired with a right front knee fracture. He is currently sound at a walk and light trot for pleasure riding.
Imploding aka Odie is a big horse in a little body. He takes fun very seriously – he loves to play it the field with gentle, quiet companions, and loves his trail rides and light arena work. He also has a real passion for carrots.
Odie is a perfect partner for a rider who likes an intelligent and ambitious horse. Even just at a walk, Odie puts every he’s got into his rides – forging ahead on the trail, the first to cross a creek, interested in what’s beyond the clump of trees, etc. He loves to explore and is respectful of his rider’s cues. He may jig or break into a trot, but it’s only eagerness to see what’s ahead, and he settles quickly. Odie rides well in groups or alone. He enjoys working at a walk and light trot in the ring and likes puzzles with poles and obstacles.
Odie has excellent manners on the ground – very polite on the lead line, for bathing, etc. He stands well for the vet and farrier. He does best with older, settled geldings in the field. He currently turns out overnight for 16 hours per day.
Odie is sensitive to cold rain and will need a shed or blanket for wet fall and winter weather.
Odie measure 16 hands but has a small frame – he’ll be best for a petite rider.
