OH ME, OH MY.... this boy. SPOONMAN is exceptional. He is a lovely mover, with some real power in his stride, and was generally very polite and nice to handle. His owner is really fond of him, but it's time for Spoonman to do something else; he's not feeling the racing vibe anymore. He is said to have no vices and no history of injuries. He measured with a stick at 16.1 hands. He will transition nicely into a second career and is ready to go. He is a lovely shade of grey with a beautiful pink nose!!
