Hoo Sabre after racing
His owner fell for the size of him and that handsome head: a son of Heart's Cry who made it to the Kikuka Sho. He is now at the equestrian club of Nippon Veterinary and Life Science University, competing with the students, including at the 2025 national student championships. A clean transition from racehorse to partner.
