Yankee is an impressive 9-year-old gelding and the definition of tall, dark and handsome at 16.3hh and filling out a 6’6” rug with ease.
A former pacer with 53 starts, 10 wins and over $111,000 in prizemoney, Yankee retired nearly two years ago simply because he was no longer competitive. No injuries; just ready for life at a different pace.
Yankee has a sweet nature and a calm presence. He’s been around dogs, kids, farm animals, machinery and vehicles without a fuss. He has good ground manners, no vices and is easy to have around. He prefers company and can get a little anxious on his own, but settles well in a paddock with others.
Yankee has had a gentle introduction to life under saddle with only a few rides to date, which he took to well. With his big frame, soft eye and easy way of going, Yankee has all the makings of a perfect partner.
