Son of a Lynx Adoption Information

One of the great parts of the ReBrand Challenge is that the horses are available for adoption at the end of the project!  Son of a Lynx will be available after Nationals in September, and by then he'll have had all this training and show experience.  In preparation for that, my photographer friend Lena O'Brian came over this week and took conformation photos for us.  He's a good looking guy!

Son of a Lynx raced for nine years as a pacer, collecting 14 wins, 20 seconds, and 28 third place finishes. Total he won just under $170,000 over the course of his harness racing career. He retired sound and is currently ten years old.  His last racing owners had him for the previous four years.  He is currently owned by MMXX Standardbreds and is in training here at Bit of Honey with Kim Leonard as part of the ReBrand Initiative:  Trainer's Challenge. 

Lynx is 15.1 h tall measured with a stick and level.  He is big bodied, and he takes up my leg nicely.  He's very well mannered and friendly, though of course has opinions on things like brushes and tack.  Happy living in a stall, paddock, pasture, or combination.  He gets along with my mixed herd after learning some social skills when he first arrived.  A nice mover, he trots and has started offering a little canter under saddle, though trots easily and canters on each lead when loose in turnout.  

He's bay with no white markings at all (easy to keep clean!) other than pin firing marks on the outside of his left front.
