I think Three Chimney's has a terrific program, which includes working/galloping the stallions! There are few that do.
"The farm typically exercises the majority of its stallions by galloping them a mile and a quarter under tack six days a week on its quarter-mile training track. This regimen allows them to maintain an acceptable level of fitness both mentally and physically throughout their life as a stallion...."
Some are not galloped, of course, I understand Smarty Jones has some physical problems.
(I heard thru the grapevine that Dynaformer has bitten off more than one or two fingers in his life. LOL!!! tough tough personality, that one. I wonder if he's "mellowing" in older age?)
