Am I unreasonable for thinking he's a prime candidate for gelding and a new career?

That goes for half the horses at Hill N' Dale.

They stand Ghostzapper, who isnt getting any younger and really needs a successor of some kind. I’m sure that played a major role.

If they can turn Maclean’s Music and Army Mule into decent stallions, then I guess this isnt really that shocking of a move.

Can't tell if this is permanent or if he's just shuttling.

Saw a post on Instagram implying that First Force (Lord Kanaloa) has retired to Arrow Stud and arrived there.

He won the 2023 Takamatsunomiya Kinen (G1).

Nothing to do with your post just wanted you to see since I know you are a big fan.

Hansen! Apparently they are trying to curb his eating since he has a grazing muzzle on but still nice seeing him.

I have a feeling he's the kind of gray horse who comes back from his pasture as a pinto

If nothing else the success of Tapit as a sire has done wonders for the horse shampoo companies.

Fantastic! Was definitely the highlight of my Friday.

What is the difference between a grazing muzzle and a real one? Is he still a danger to bite while wearing this one?

There are two types of grazing muzzle, the one that allows them to still graze some(Iike Hansen has on) and one that doesn't allow grazing at all(think photos of Spinning World). I don't think he is dangerous at all, its just to slow him down eating so he doesn't get overweight, that A.P. Indy line is easy keepers. Of course I could be wrong and maybe it is dual purpose to allow him to graze and also not bite tourists.

Mylute · Sat Jun 17, 2023 5:52 pm

Thank you. From what I've read, Hansen had a calm and friendly personality, at least in comparison with the usual Tapit. However, there was a post on Twitter (linked here many moons ago) implying that Hansen had become crankier with age. This also coincides with his move to Korea so that of course spawned a massive debate about possible abuse. I know that cranky doesn't necessarily equal aggressive or "bitey" so I was mostly just curious as to how a grazing muzzle differs from a defensive one. Like, if a horse wearing what Hansen has on could still bite someone.

Flanders · Sat Jun 17, 2023 6:21 pm

The farms where he stands(Let's Run Farm) is a tourist attraction, perhaps he doesn't like all that noise and kids running about? Unless what I have read is incorrect, people are just allowed to explore and do whatever, take pictures, play games, ride bicycles, take a wagon ride, etc.

My favorite review I just read "The open view is great, and the horses are handsome and cool, unlike the weak horses in the tourist spots."

Dr. Jack (Pioneerof the Nile), a stakes-placed winning half sibling to Nest and Idol, has been retired and will stand in Peru.

The farm is Haras El Embrujo.

G3PSW Invader (War Front - Say) has been retired to stand in New Jersey.

Invader, a striking son of War Front out of the graded stakes-winning mare Say (Ire), is a full-brother to Grade 1 winner Fog Of War and graded stakes-placed and stakes winner Naval Intelligence. His dam Say (Ire) was a graded stakes winner in the United Kingdom. Invader is from the immediate family of three-time Grade 1 winner Riskaverse.
