Awww! If you don’t mind PTing me with your e-mail address, I will pass it on to his adopter. I’m sure she’d love to hear about Brodie’s mom and his foalhood.
Here’s another pic of him, relaxing on the farm just after he left the track:

All the CANTER volunteers figured he must have been very well-handled in his early years. He had really great manners, and was extremely sociable and people-oriented. Apparently, he still is - after having some time off to relax and grow (unlike his mama, he is definitely NOT a petite little thing, and sprouted up to well over 16 hands), he’s just started his under-saddle training and his adopter said he is “an angel” to ride.
