Rascal

Well, hey there everybody! My registered name with The Jockey Club is Scout’s Honor, but you can call me Rascal. My name fits me well. I am “Mr. Personality,” but I am sure it won’t take you long to figure that out. I was born in 2002 and I’m a bay, 15.2 hand Thoroughbred gelding. Oh, and did I mention that I am very cute too?

My donor, Daryl Whitmoyer, thought that this would be the perfect place for me. And she was right. I love it here! I have lots of friends to play with and there are so many people giving me attention every day.

Prior to arriving at Fieldstone Farm in 2008, I was shown in Adult Hunters. Due to an accident in the early part of 2007, I am no longer able to jump. That is okay; I still have lots of talent on the flat. I like to teach younger riders because I think my even, easy going temperament helps build their confidence.

I have won several awards but don’t worry because it hasn’t gone to my head…yet. Just kidding. In 2013, I won the Thoroughbred of the Year Award through the Jockey Club. Then in May of 2014, I won Smartpak’s Horse of the Month. Clearly everyone can see my natural born talent. Then to top it all off, I won the PATH Intl Region 4 Equine of the Year award. I am really making my mark and so happy to be a part of this team that made it all happen. Thanks everyone for the support!

You will notice that I wear bell boots; they protect my heels and help keep my shoes on my front hooves. I can play a little rough outside. I stand well for grooming, but please don’t curry very hard. We sensitive Thoroughbreds can’t handle it. You may notice that I may act a little playful and do things such as trying to chew my reins or lead line – I’m just excited to be working.

From time to time, I have a small haze in my left eye. Don’t worry because I can see everything just fine. I get a little inflammation/irritation in that eye. I am sure I will meet you all very soon! If you are strolling down the aisle and notice a wiggly nose coming thru the feed hole – it would be me saying hello!
