"Amok" is a 16-year-old son of Kentucky Derby winner "Spend A Buck," with earnings of $4.2 million. Amok had a steady four years of racing, earning a far less notable $24,712. This ex-racehorse went on to become a charro horse for some years, before eventually ending up at Lancaster Horse Auction late last year, with a sore back and sorely neglected teeth.
Ironically, his owners that took him to auction, had no clue this stocky boy was in fact a Thoroughbred! We assure the tattoo on his lip is very real, and as hard as it is to believe, he isn't a Quarter Horse. But close!
Amok stands at around 15.3 hh, but with a notably bulky frame. He's begun retraining, and is getting acquainted with the concept of trust. Amok wants to trust, and can be very loving once given a chance. He has a strong aversion to being ridden in a snaffle bit, but rides softly in a curb -- with soft hands. His gaits are smooth and easy to ride.
Amok is available for adoption to an intermediate rider, as an all-around pleasure or trail horse.
