At Three Chimneys Farm, the majority of our stallions do not wear horseshoes. We leave Gun Runner barefoot and he gets a visit from the farrier every 4-6 weeks for a hoof trim. Below is a video of Gun Runner receiving his normal hoof trim.
This Sunday, March 8th is Gun Runner's 7th birthday! Here is a little backstory on young Gun Runner from Three Chimneys Farm.
Gun Runner was born at neighboring WinStar Farm in Versailles, Kentucky on March 8, 2013. As a weanling, Gun Runner along with his dam and grand dam were purchased privately by Three Chimneys Farm from Besilu Stables. He was then moved to Three Chimneys Farm where he was raised from the time he was a weanling.
Gun Runner skipped the yearling sales and instead was pointed to a 2YO sale. It was at a 2-year-old sale Winchell Thoroughbreds approached Three Chimneys to partner together on the colt. And as they say, the rest is history!
Below are a few photos. From the top, Gun Runner as a colt then pictured as a yearling. Isn't he handsome?
The first foal of Season 3 was delivered on Tuesday morning by Magical World. The colt's sire, Gun Runner is right on premise at Three Chimneys Farm so, in a way the whole family is together. THe colt is large, gaining strength in his legs and a hungry little guy.
Below is a video about the physical characteristics that people liked when seeing Gun Runner's first crop of weanlings. Gun Runner was the number one first crop weanling sire at the Fasig Tiption and Keeneland sales this past year.
