The following is the information posted on New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program Website about Magical Minister:
Horses inherit many traits from their parentage and this horse is by Deputy Minister, who is widely regarded as producing some of the best-minded and trainable horses around and Magic is no exception. Just 5 years old, he stands 15.3hh and what he may lack in height, he more than makes up for in stature. He is well built and solid, sound and without injury and has no vices. Magical Minister has really settled well into the program and is a lovely horse to deal with and be around. He has now graduated to turnout with other geldings and has done exceptionally well.
Magic is good to handle in all respects including: shoeing, catching, clipping, grooming etc and will stand untied in the aisle while being saddled. Under saddle, he has been very quick to learn and responds well. He is learning to move out more from the shoulder and is a nice, comfortable ride with a good mouth and no malice.
Since the New Year, he has been trail ridden every day alone and has done amazingly well, going all over the farm, past fields of running horses and has encountered tractors, 4 wheelers, trucks and muck spreaders all without incident.
Magic is suitable for all pursuits and with time and additional training, he will make a very nice all around horse.
And they had several photographs. I liked his looks. Peggy Thompson looked at some of these horses with me some time ago. She liked a horse with lots of chrome and I commented that I was somewhat put off by all the chrome. She said “John, white socks and legs are not a bad thing.” Magic had black legs and black hooves, the best kind, according to me.
