Pedigree, temperament, stallion bias

We need pictures WPeg! Congratulations, Cinnamon Sugar was a REALLY nice race mare.[/QUOTE]

Thanks! I would love to show off pics of him because of course I believe that he is the noblest, smartest, most handsome (etc etc) beast to grace God’s earth. I will have to try to find a pic that doesn’t give us away too much as I do want a little bit of anonymity so I won’t feel too restricted in bringing up topics in the future on Coth… although it seems COTHERs always figure out who people are, so maybe that is futile.

Here he is -

Bad angle that makes his front legs look like twigs, but I like this pic of him because he looks all grown up and serious (he’s neither)

Sunbleached, but proof he doesn’t have sticks for front legs

He’s got Halo in there - the stories are scary!

Sire is Fusaichi Pegasus

I had never even heard of Fupeg before this (I don’t follow racing) and I found all these posts and articles saying that “Fupeg” was nasty and horrible, he’s a one hit wonder who never produced anything, no one would dream of breeding to him, etc. Clearly no one likes Fupeg.

Then I came across this article about the worlds meanest stallions:

And I thought Holy Guacamole! Fupeg is the least of his problems, he’s also got Halo, Ribot and Danzig, who apparently ate small children for breakfast. Then there were the articles about Mr P and soundness, etc etc.

So I was thoroughly freaked out, but I did do the 5 hours drive to see him, tried him for a week, and then bought him and I love him. He does have a quirky personality, but there is no meanness in him and he likes people and attention.

But, wow - I had never even heard of Fupeg before (like I said, I don’t follow racing) but he seems to be racing’s least loved stallion.[/QUOTE]

lol, how did I know? my absolute quietest, safest and sweetest schoolie has Halo in there, as well as my several of my own riding horses, and the mare I gave my son. makes me laugh, because they’re all so sensible and easy going, not a mean bone in their bodies. independent little buggers, though!

gotta say, I don’t care much for Fupeg babies, never have, both on and off the track (former exercise rider). my dressage trainer found a really nice one last year though that almost - ALMOST - made me change my tune about Fupegs.
