16 hands. He last raced on 7/15/23 and retired with a broken right front sesamoid. He is currently turning out with other geldings and does very well. He will do best when turned out 24/7. He will get stiff if left in a stall for more than a few hours due to a stifle issue that will lock up.
Ira is an energetic and kind fellow. He loves all-over currying and scratches and will groom you back. Relationship bulding is important with Ira – he will repay time spent grooming and in ground work with better performance under saddle. Ira will need time and patience in his ridden training. Ira will require an intermediate to advanced rider who can offer him confidence and guidance. He is riding sound and, with work, should become a nice partner for a person willing to bring him along without rush.
Ira is suitable for any low level disciple on the flat. He is not the best option for polo, barrels or poles.
