And another Meet Jake, Zazu

My new boy Jake
renamed Zazu

He is 3 year old and trained to be a pacer but was too slow despite a costly operation to stretch his ligaments in his back legs.
Zazu, renamed by Charlotte is a sweetheart of a boy, a big sooky lala, but all my horses pretty much are in their own way.
Zazu is unbroken but super quiet on the roads as he was driven in sulky some distance from his stable to the trotting track in the middle of heavy Condell Park traffic.
Hence he is going to make a good trial horse etc.  He is not super big, about 15hh with some filling out to do and he has dropped weight since the above photo but in general he should pick up as he is on hard feed and is grazing all day as well. 

He is not getting on with my others very well, but does have a mate in Casper and he does boss the old mare Bess around a bit but he tends to run thru fences and has been out three times since I got him.  Beside this we are determined to keep him as he is just that nice, very worth putting the time and money into to have him broken in and he will be going over to Cathy soon for just that.  I want to see him build up a bit bigger in size tho before we do start him out under saddle, but I have no quams that he is going to be amazing.
