Cowboy Has Quite the Walk

Cowboy (JC Detroit Cowboy) is an 11 year old gelding, who was in the Wasabi Ventures Stables barns from February through August 2019. Retired in September 2019, he was placed with Foxie G for some downtime.

His post-racing home

Cowboy now lives with Aoi and her family, where he has had a fabulous year. He is participating in hunter paces and trials and the occasional hunter/jumper show. He is jumping 2′ courses at shows and 2’3″ at home with an occasional 2’6″. This is a huge improvement over last year.

Cowboy works with a trainer at Hidden Gems Equine, who his family describes as amazing. He also has a body worker, who visits him every couple weeks. Additionally, Cowboy is a complete professional when having visits with the dentist and farrier.

Quite the walk

While Aoi may be the person who shows Cowboy, her entire family absolutely loves him. Ever popular, he is a favorite with all of the kids and adults at his barn! Cowboy loves to work and play and EAT.

Recently, Cowboy performed his first freestyle walk in a dressage show. He received a very flattering compliment of “Now, that’s a walk!”
