Description So then this showed up at the barn. All seventeen hands of him. I was told he was an ex-racehorse, which of course immediately sent me galloping off to find my camera and take a picture of his lip tattoo.

His registered name is Chivas. He's a stakes winner of $200,233 by GIII Fayette Stakes winner Whiskey Wisdom out of Regalis, a daughter of millionaire, champion and GI Queen's Plate winner Regal Intention, a son of Vice Regent. Whiskey Wisdom, by Wild Again, comes from the family of Citronnade and Twilight Meteor.

Wow, that's weird.
We had a 17HH Thoroughbred that came to our stable a few weeks ago. A lady that rides at my barn wanted to try him out, but when the vet came out they said he wasn't sound.
Shame, he was a sweetie.
He had just come off of the track, and looked a lot like this horse, but instead of a long frame his was more compact, and he liked to put his head up higher
lovely horse though!

Wow, handsome boy! That's so neat that you could actually decipher his lip tattoo and find out his history.

Greatalmightyqueen In reply to boxofpeaches [2011-03-14 00:22:49 +0000 UTC]

It took a little deciphering, but was relatively easy to do once we figured out that he was born in 2000 and therefore that weird 0-looking thing at the beginning was actually a D.

Greatalmightyqueen In reply to boxofpeaches [2011-03-15 22:43:24 +0000 UTC]

Yup! We were confused because the 1 at the end of his tattoo is almost invisible now and we hadn't noticed it, so we thought his letter was the one that was faded.

*pees self*

Man, you lucky girl! I tried taking pics of the lip tattoo of the TB at my school with my iPhone but I can't make out a thing. x.x;

How is he undersaddle, anyway? I'd love to be able to ride an epic OTTB like that.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Greatalmightyqueen In reply to Hazel-rah [2011-03-13 19:43:05 +0000 UTC]

I know, right?? Unfortunately the lip tattoos suck a lot of the time but they can eventually be deciphered. It took me an age to figure out that the first digit of his was a D and not a 0, by which point I slapped myself in the face with a giant DUH LETTER YEAR and so on.

I haven't been on him yet, as he's spent the past six or seven years of his life in a field, has no manners and needs quite a bit of training before coach'll let any of the students on him (except the girl in the picture, who is fearless). I've seen him ridden twice, though, and he moves beautifully for a behemoth. I can't wait for him to join the school.

And, yeah, I'll try to see if I can take better shots of his lip tattoo with my DSLR and analyze it some more, lol!
