Prophet came with a possible right shoulder injury. He's now sound - has a
lovely lazy extended trot and a personable manner that makes him a super school horse. He’s
also one I have to watch as he gets fat without any effort - but I suspect Prophet will
be a long time contributor to my kid programs. Not to mention, my favorite ride as
well!
Prophet had bonded with and protected Ladyhawk. When she passed, he was distraught
for days, crying for her every night, rushing to the paddock where she died every morning. PC
and Sunny tried to comfort him, but he was inconsolable for a long time. When Chacha came to
TGC in November, almost 9 months after Ladyhawk passed, I put him next to her as I saw a mare who
needed a protector. I swear, he might as well have asked me what I was thinking - this mare
will never last! He tried not to be friendly with her, but she was needy and adored him, and
eventually he succumbed to the adoration (as men will) and became her buddy. They don't hang
together in the paddock, but he escorts her back every night, and understands that we will not get
her in her stall until he is in his.
