| I have an own son by Disco Jerry and out of ladybug Laura. Beautiful, athletic and talented, our trainer puts him in the top 5 horses she has ever been on. She could run him to his potential, my girls did well on him but could not quite run him like she could. When we got him as a 6 year old he was very flighty and spooky, definitely one you have to take care of his mind, if he hit a barrel he was out of there-scared him to death. I attribute a lot of this though to being pushed hard because of his talent and sellers admitted that they popped him pretty good if he hit a barrel . Overtime he realized he was in a better situation, was not worried about being hit, became very solid, still very looky, snorts at even a bucket that may have been set in a different place in the barn but all business when time to run. An in your pocket, needs to trust you kind of horse. Here is my daughter in him, her first run in a couple of years
