Meet Hercules, foaled on May 7, 2018. Hercules retired from racing after 23 starts, winning $190,000. Hercules is a talented and eager 6-year-old gelding, standing at an impressive 17 hands. With his uphill build and light, responsive movements, he is an ideal candidate for eventing or show jumping. Hercules possesses a remarkable stop and offers a comfortable ride, making him a pleasure to work with in the arena. He is also versatile in a western saddle, making him equally suited for both Western and English trail riding, as well as other pleasure disciplines.
This level-headed horse adapts beautifully to his rider's needs - whether you’re looking for a calm, leisurely ride or a spirited partner ready to tackle challenges, Hercules delivers with finesse. His lightness in the mouth and overall willingness to learn make him a joy to train.
Affectionate yet not overly demanding, Hercules thrives on human interaction and is always eager for attention. He has excellent ground manners, enjoys being groomed, and is independent enough to handle outrides solo.
In addition to being easy to care for, Hercules stands patiently for mounting, cross-ties well, and is proficient at ground tying. He does well in a herd, whether living out or being stabled, and is an easy keeper. Hercules stands for the farrier and vet with ease and loads well, making him a reliable partner for any equestrian journey.
Hercules is ready to find a dedicated rider who can appreciate his gentle nature and willingness to work. Don’t miss the chance to partner with this exceptional gelding!
All of our retired racehorses participate in our equine-assisted interventions and Veterans vocational horsemanship education programs (see heroeshorses.org).
