KING ABNER
Age: 2014 | Sex: Gelding | Breed: Thoroughbred | Height: 16.1 | Option: For Sale
We are so thrilled to have King Abner back in the barn! We were fortunate enough to be a part of his post-track journey a few years ago and now we’re honored to help find his next family. We think about this sweet gelding constantly so having him back has been a delight.
Abner was coursing up to 2’6” with us previously and had a green change. He went on to continue working on his form at his new home but has recently had some lapses in his training program and had lost a bit of fitness. He’s so willing and tries so hard so he’s picking everything back up quickly. We’ve been primarily working on stretching through his topline and using his body correctly, he has such nice shoulder reach. We’ve just started back over fences and remember how incredibly careful with he is with feet. He’s just LOVES the job.
He is very quiet under saddle and in the barn. I can confidently say he is one of the easiest horses at the farm. Perfect to handle in every way; clipping, bathing, grooming, in his stall, leading past new things, no drama in turnout. Just a total gentleman. No need to longe before hopping on, he’s been a cool customer every ride even under the lights for a night ride or with rowdy horses coming in from turnout. He is not spooky, loves to hack and is very brave.
He last raced in June, 2021 after winning more than $440,000 at the track and he was allowed ample time in turnout to stretch and relax at the end of his racing career. He is by Hansen, out of Margarita Salt, naming Storm Cat, Seattle Slew, AP Indy, Mr Prospector, Northern Dancer and Unbridled in his line. He is very sound with super feet and a lovely body type with a well set neck. No vices.
