Sky Pegasus

Here's Laurie's webpage gallery. Shots of Sylvester Questor are on the site in various places and he's training in dressage because he was getting super bored in retirement. There are some more recent Sky Pegasus photos and some from when she first got him. In the beginning she had to stop his training and put him on a serious diet otherwise she was afraid he'd blow out all 4 suspensories. The horse had man boobs.

She nearly gelded him but after much discussion and kindly entertaining our thoughts on the subject she opted to just remove his undescended testical (he was a ridgling). He got his competitive urges going after that and given his pedigree and how he looked she wanted to give him an opportunity to run without wishing she'd left him one of the family jewels. She'd always said she'd not leave a colt intact unless he was a good specimen that arrived in a helicopter and was dumped on her front yard practically gift wrapped. She bid on him sorta as joke because she'd liked him but figured he'd never go for a low price and found herself the high bidder much to her amazement. I think there were some horses going for much less than they were worth at that auction if I'm remembering right and his being a FuPeg seemed to appear like a strike at the time. After being operated on SP's days as a sweet lil noncompetitive puddytat (because it tried to bleep the actual word) were over and he's got a watered down set of neuroses. Might be enough to get him somewhere.

He'll be in the 3rd at Laurel on Wednesday at 1 mile on dirt. Poor dear's 20-1. Anybody gonna be able to catch it? He should do a bit better but he probably needs another turn and s'more distancem, again per Laurie. If anybody sees him up close I'd love to get your impression as all I've seen are pictures. What do you think of his competition?
