I rode Little More today. It has probably been over a year since I rode him. He has a lameness that is not noticeable at a walk. At a trot he drops the off hind hip and there is no improvement. Little More is such a nice horse. I am going to work him at a walk and see if he can do that with no discomfort or deterioration of his mobility.

He would be such a nice trail horse and I know he would enjoy it. He loves people more than any horse I have known. Little More is what is known as a true “War Horse” in the Thoroughbred world having run 54 races and winning over $150,000. Sadly there is great temptation to get one more win out of a horse like that and they run them until the horse is broken. Little More does not have to run any more races. We did have a very nice ride walk today.
