He was the best horse I ever trained and also the most intelligent. said Bush He is a throwback to the type of horses we used to have and need to breed back to. He is a fast and sturdy horse that was always consistent. I have had a number of respected people in the industry mention how good looking this horse is, and I would have to agree. There is a lot to like about him.
