Super! She’s a very similar type to mine.

Oh, I love her! She’s eerily similar in type to my Filly of Unknown Parentage who I highly suspect is by Frost Giant. Have fun with her!

Oh she can come join my herd of redheads any day!
My GC is generally very happy to please, but his favorite speed is “stand and eat”, so I can see how that could turn into a “no, thank you” in certain environments.
Good luck! I love her!

My gelding is by More Than Ready and out of a Giant’s Causeway mare. He’s super athletic and smart. He has some quirks but what horse doesn’t…nothing dangerous. He is cranky when cold and when hurting. It took me a bit to figure that out. So now he gets blankets when others don’t need them. He had body soreness when I first had him. He kicked out a lot when touched/brushed. But after chiro and acupuncture treatments, he felt better and that behavior disappeared. He gets Bemer almost daily.
You said the mare was a little sluggish when you first started out. That is my boy too. I have found a long walk warm up with tons of lateral movements. Then tons of transitions within the gaits. Then he’s nicely in front of my leg. I can’t rush his warmup otherwise he never gets forward.
He is a big time mamma’s boy!

Late to the convo, but my all time favorite OTTB was by GC. He was nutty when he was at the track, usually got so worked up in the paddock that he had nothing left come race time. It took a long time to get him to relax, but eventually it was like a switch went off and he figured out he liked his new life. I ended up selling him and he went on to do some high level eventing with his new owner. He is one I have often wished I would have kept but life did not allow it at the time.
