16.1 hands. He last raced in 2021 and reportedly retired sound. We are not aware of any injury history. He has been living on his owner’s farm since retirement. He enjoys living outside 24/7 but can also spend time in a stall during the day. He would not be happy in a stall during the longer overnight hours on a regular basis.
Caramel is an intelligent, athletic, mature gelding who has real potential for sport development with the right adopter. He is just getting back under saddle after several years of pasture life with his race owner. Caramel is strong under saddle and needs a rider who can with sensitivity keep his attention and channel his energy. He has no vices under saddle, just is green and energetic.
Caramel has very nice ground manners – he is easy to groom, walks nicely on a lead rope and is respectful of his handlers. He loves treats and waits patiently while others receive theirs, too. He is a good friend in the field – a natural leader but will give way to a more dominant horse. He can be nervous when being tacked up, but we this should pass naturally with more practice. He stood nicely for the vet.
Caramel should be sound for any non-racing discipline. A PPE is recommended for an athletic career.
