RK's Boy, dk. b. g., 16.2h, 2001.

Saved thanks to donations from the Friends of Twilight

This big boy was turned out in a field at the end of his racing career and forgotten--until someone remembered him and sent him to the sale! Good mover, quiet and sound, has started over small fences and seems to be a good, sensible jumper. Great event prospect. Clean and sound, no vices.

Adoption fee $2400-

Update:

Hello Beverly,

Kahlua had his first show today. We have a very accomplished French foreign exchange student who really wanted to ride Cindy at the show so I enter Kahlua in a few novice classes. Cindy took junior champion today; I was very proud of her, Kahlua will be bringing riders there too in a couple of years. He was a handful today, even though the show was on his farm I think he thought he had to run a race with all the trailers and new horses/smells going on. Cindy was the same EXACT way at her first shows.

He was vetted and the vet had great things to say about him, she said he had very nice legs for an x-racer. He's in 30 days professional training with my trainer that trained Cindy. He has really good things to say about Kahlua too. He's just very young and unsure of things but that's to be expected. He's very smart and learning quickly. His dressage training is going well and he actually has very nice action once he figures out how to get his body underneath himself and frame up. My trainer doesn't want to push the jumping until he gets some more coordination on the flat so hopefully he'll start jumping training in a couple of weeks. I do some small stuff with him and he's very brave to the jumps now, uncoordinated and knocks the poles down a lot but he tries very hard. My trainer doesn't think it's anything to worry about he just needs time to learn were his legs are and do something other than run with them.

His first day off of quarantine one of the small ponies bit him in the nose and he just stood there! He's very docile and a good natured boy. He had to get about 6 stitches in his nose so I'm hoping he starts letting the ponies know he's bigger than they are. They've temporarily moved that pony out so he's sharing a 40 acre field with only one horse so he's being spoiled and should help him put some more weight on.

Thank you so much for him, he's been a joy to work with! I'll send some more pics and another update once he starts doing some serious jumping.

Update May 2008:

Hello Bev,

I wanted to give you an update on Kahlua.  It’s been almost a year since we adopted him.  He went through some hard times with various injuries but was sent to a specialist and he was in the end cleared completely for anything, diagnosed with having a goiter.  GO FIGURE! J

Kahlua was sent to training at an eventer barn in Upperville, VA.  If you want to see him go there is a youtube video of him at: http://www.youtube.com/nwgohman

He certainly is a boy that needs a job but he gets ridden 5X a week and really loves to work.  He did get a slow start but has been progressing great ever since.  I’m very happy with him!  I’m hoping to hit the shows with him by next Spring, still working on his changes.
