16.3 hands. He last worked on 1/23/26 and retired with a right front sesamoid fracture. He is on stall rest until 3/23/26. At that point he will need new X-rays taken to check healing. If sound and doing well, he will then move to the round pen for another 14 days. If sound in early May, he can begin herd turnout with a quiet group of geldings. If he is sound at the walk in May, he can start walking under saddle. He should not do more than a walk until 7/23/26 if he is sound under saddle and sound trotting in the field.
He will be suitable for flat work. If he heals properly and remains sound under saddle, he could jump up to 2’3″. A PPE is recommended for sport use.
Sugar is a lovely gelding with a nice demeanor. He has done well on stall rest and is easy to groom and work with. He doesn’t like to be bothered while eating hay, but he will only pin his ears. He is fine if he is eating grain.
Contrary to his name, he has not been a fan of treats, peppermints or carrots, however, he apparently loved peppermints at the track. He does love his grain and eats with vigor but prefers not to have anything hidden in his grain. He would prefer any supplements and medications, if ever needed, be given orally. This may change as he settles into a new home.
