Hello!
My name is Caroline, but thats not really important... Because your here for Syfret! Well, This is her rider talking. So, before we start, lets give you a little bit of information on her history.
DAY ONE:
Syfret was born on March 27, 2007. She is turning six in a few weeks. She's a beautiful bay mare; registered with the Jockey Club. Her earnings total to $66,000, I am told. Today, March 11th, 2013, is my second day owning her. I was lucky enough to come across her owners agent at an auction, and learned that she was interested in selling her. The lady actually approached me at the sale and said
"I've been looking for girls in nice breeches!" I at the time wasn't looking for a project, especially not a off the track thoroughbred. I already had my hands full with a 4 year old Warmblood Cross. But, I managed to convince my mother to allow me to go see her at the farm were she was living. I learned that her owners had sadly passed away in December, and she was looking for a home. I went out to the farm and spent some time with her. I was unable to ride her considering the last time she was ridden was in July of 2012, by a jockey! Not to mention, there was no arena on this farm. She seemed to be a a very sweet girl, I rubbed down her back and legs without any fuss, as well as led her around. She also had gorgeous conformation, Something you don't come across everyday in a Throughbred. Considering her price was reasonable, and she seemed to be quite quiet, I was able to pick her up and bring her to the barn where I rode that day! (Yesterday being that day...)
When I arrived at the barn I ride, she was quite agitated. She didn't want to stand still.. But she wasn't spooky! Which I extremely happy with. Once we got her into the barn and let her settle into her stall for about 15mins we decided to take her into the indoor arena for a good run! As soon as we let her loose she took off trotting. The first thing that came out of both me and my mothers mouth was "Wow."
We watched her as she gracefully trotted around, flicking her little hooves. She was a picturesque hunter. The suspension and lofty trot she had was incredible! After a few minutes we asked her to pick up the canter. This however, wasn't nearly as pretty. She appeared quite unbalanced, but we figured, this wasn't anything unfixable. After she had a good run, We put her back in her stall for the night.
