Uncle Dusan is an OTTB that came off the track in June 2025 and was restarted thoughtfully and correctly, with a strong emphasis on downtime and correct fundamentals. He spent two months in full-time training focused solely on letting down, lunging, and learning how to be a horse before beginning ridden work.
In August, he entered full-time training for two months and is ridden 3-4x a week currently. He’s been in consistent work since August. He is now developing collection, learning to hold his frame, and showing a clear understanding of his job. He is intelligent, honest, and eager to work—qualities consistently praised by all trainers who have worked with him.
Uncle Dusan has a very smooth canter and an expressive, quality extended trot. He is forward-thinking but sensible—and is not spooky or flighty. He has proven to be a reliable, level-headed partner. That said, he’s also a 6 year old TB and sometimes needs a lunge after a few days off.
Originally purchased as an eventing prospect, he would excel in eventing or the hunter ring.
Cons: He can be bossy on the ground and needs a firm handle to remind him of the rules. He’s not currently being ridden due to a pregnancy and that’s reflected in his sale price. He’s currently been off work for about two weeks.
Teeth were done September 2025 and he’s up to date on all vaccines. Sale is solely due to significant changes in my personal circumstances and I’m getting out of horses for a bit while I focus on other areas of my life.
