Biography

I found William as a 5 year old on the internet. I ended up driving to Adel, GA in the blazing summer and looked at him and his brother. I decided I liked them both and threw them on the trailer. His Jockey Club name is "The Name's Cupid," but for some reason he looked like a William to me. He was apparently not very successful at the track--with only one start and earing a mere $90 . Lucky for me!

He started off very distant and head-shy. He had an injury that ripped off part of his eye-lid (he only has three eyelashes!) and it was very infected and swollen when I got him, but soon he started to come around. I ended up selling his brother and decided to put him up on the market as a resale. I had shown him to several people, but for some reason or another nothing ever went through. William also tended to be the back-up horse that I had to depend on in sticky situations. When my other horses would get hurt, he always came through with flying colors and proved to be very dependable. He did, however, have a set back in January of 2008 when I came home and found that he had broken his withers in his paddock!! So I rehabilitated him and he healed wonderfully. I call him my little stegosaur!

With the clear from the vets he competed that fall at the training level and in November of 2008 finished his first Prelim!! He always tends to surprise me and rises to every occasion, with his quirky personality--very opinionated--I definitely know I am his human and hopefully our bond will help us rise up the levels. So I have decided to take him off the market and give him a shot! He has definitely proved himself with his incredible jumping technique and catty ability! This should be an exciting season.
