He looks so sweet with you! I try to remember that stallions have good and bad days too so I might just have seen them on a bad day. I have no problems with either of those stallions, I’m just yet to see them on their best behaviour <3 Love them regardlessamydfrom73 wrote: ↑Thu Jan 26, 2023 5:34 pm
They bring out War Front on the tours. He's been very chill every time I've seen him.
Shanghai Bobby was a certified nice boy when I visited Ashford a few years ago. Of all the stallions they brought out, he was the only one guests were allowed to pet.
Awful lot of fatal paddock accidents at that place.
It’s a generic term there, I think. It might just be their way of describing finding a dead horse in a paddock. It’s weird to do a necropsy - a paddock accident is a limb, spine, neck, or head injury. I wonder why they bother. Maybe they include heart attacks under that umbrella.
if he had to be euthanised, unless he was having neurological issues w/ no obvious injury, i feel like they'd know why they were putting him down (that feels kind of aggressively worded and i dont mean it that way, what i mean is a clearly broken leg, or a bleeding head laceration, etc vs being found and no visible injuries, but unable to coordinate his own balance). so, i agree it's sort of an oddly worded announcement.Izvestia wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 10:41 amIt’s a generic term there, I think.

There are a lot of deaths there because the horses go there to retire… and a lot of them are old, and they die.
It could also be because there are lots of ex-breeding stallions and they do stupid things. High number of stallions, high number of paddock accidents? We don’t usually hear that a mare had a paddock accident.
I don’t know.
. Lots of photos and videos of Oju on their twitter/youtube/instagram already.
Yes, this must be the best place for him and his fans.Miss Woodford wrote: ↑Mon Jan 30, 2023 5:06 pm Oju Chosan was moved to Versailles Resort Farm last week to start his stud career. The farm mostly has retired/pensioned horses but Oju will be boarded there as a breeding stallion. Might be the best place for him since it will allow for many visitors
And more merch soon! https://twitter.com/Versailles_Farm/sta ... 6034491392
I’m more curious on what he did to his kneeMylute wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 10:01 pm Hot Rod Charlie has touched down in Japan. He has a weird neck.

I think maybe that comes from mom. Mitole's is kind of weird too, I never noticed it. Especially if you google image search Mitole stallion and see him against a white background...Mylute wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 10:01 pm Hot Rod Charlie has touched down in Japan. He has a weird neck.

American Pharoah, Collected, and Liam’s Map are absolute sweethearts. I know Arrogate had a rumor of being a tougher guy, but he was also kind when I met him.Nenikikamen23 wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 8:30 pmThis made my mind wander- who are some of the most gentle, easy-going, and kind stallions currently standing? Kid-safe or almost kid-safe level. Just laid-back dudes. I'd be extremely interested to hear of anyone's experiences meeting those sorts of studs
have you ever seen the Oju Chosan plushie? cutest fucking thing EVER. might get myself one if i ever see one for sale on Amazon.Miss Woodford wrote: ↑Tue Feb 07, 2023 10:46 pm The HBC Horse Racing Club took a bus tour of some farms in Hokkaido a couple weeks ago. They saw several stallions but the real highlight of the tour was getting a "sneak peek" of Oju Chosan at Yogibo Versailles Resort Farm before he was put on view for the regular public tours.
Oju at 18:27 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pddU2uhk4y8
He's a tall boy and looks even taller with how he carries himself, head held high. Certainly has the "look of eagles".
And because I know I'm not the only horse girl who had the pocket folders with horses on them, now we can have one with Oju Chosan on it! https://versailles.theshop.jp/items/71230054 But it doesn't look like they ship internationally.
