Not Billy Dee, that's for sure.

Sorry to go off topic. I just had to laugh when I read your post so I wanted to chime in with an answer.

I agree. I'm on the Forum side a lot. I can't even look at the blog post comments anymore. They have nothing to do with Zenyatta or horses or racing.

Do they have a moderator? I have never looked at it, too many Zenyatta crazed fans.

Coz is going to be HUGE!!

BaroqueAgain1 · Sun Mar 30, 2014 4:09 pm

He does look tall, doesn't he? I like the way his body is put together, from what I can see in that photo. Nice hindquarters...looks like he may have gotten his mom's engine.

He sure is a looker, and that photo of him with cupcake icing on his lip is adorable.

I think the miniature horse in the first photo is Little Silver Charm from Old Friends--he's always had a crush on Zenyatta and still has her picture over his door. (At least he did last spring.)

New photos and video of Coz in training. I'm curious to what you more experienced people think of him now that we have a good look at him?

I don't claim any particular expertise because it's been a very long time since I was around horses daily. But I've seen a lot of horses in my 60+ years. So on that basis, to my eye Coz is a very good-looking youngster. He's not flashy, obviously, but is well balanced and compact (not rangy or long behind the saddle), and seems to have no significant conformation faults. He does have a bit of a prominent wither, which can indicate a shoulder that isn't as laid back as some might consider ideal. But he seems to move nicely, with a smooth trot and easy canter. When he stood under tack with rider up, his legs were nice and straight both front and rear. His musculature appears to be that of a stayer rather than a sprinter. Also, the black-and-white head study of Coz reminds me of horses from an earlier era, particularly the great Kelso.

Others here might be better judges of qualities like bone and scope.

What I like most about what we've seen of Coz so far is his calm, easy-going temperament.
