My Man Ira


4 year old thoroughbred gelding bred in KY
Java's War (War Pass) out of Speighty Girl by Speightstown
Eligible for the Retired Racehorse Project's
THOROUGHBRED MAKEOVER COMPETITION!

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. 

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 disciple on the flat. He is not the best option for polo, barrels or poles.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS EVENT- ALL HORSE'S ARE HALF OFF THE LISTED PRICE NOW THROUGH 12/31/24 IF PICKED UP ON OR BEFORE 12/31/24
