Description:
RACING:
Honcho retired sound last year. He was a successful racehorse with 9 wins, 20 places from 95 starts, earnings over $100k and a 1.53 mile rate!!! (Honcho was FAST). He was in the Golden Slipper, WA Derby and Battle Of Bunbury field and won the Western Crown.
TYPE AND RIDDEN HISTORY:
Honcho is show horse pretty. He has beautiful straight legs, a big round butt, excellent confirmation, a lovely personality and a seriously long mane when left to grow (who says standies all have Bert from Sesame Street forelocks!) He was ridden in his race training about 18months ago. I am unable to ride him as we do not have the facilities. He has no bolt/buck/rear but isn’t suited to a beginner.
He’s been to 1 in-hand show where he came 3rd in the standardbred class and 2nd in the hack class against strong opposition – it was his first show and first experience at an ag-show so for the first half of the day, wanted to look at everything going on. I could see him doing well in ridden classes in the future.
AROUND THE STABLE:
Honcho is easy to catch/shoe/float/do his teeth/rug/worm/wash etc. and he’s good in a herd. He has a naturally shiny and short coat (currently unrugged) which gleams when he’s in work. He’s a good doer too and eats everything up. He has no bad vices on the ground.
Price is negotiable, but as our horses are our babies, home is not.
