TID BITS

  • Shabumi is by Bey Shah, making Avatar a grandson of that famous sire, just like Bremevale Justice, part of the bronze medal team from WEG 2002.

  • “He’s the little horse that could,” said Julius. “When he trots, everyone else has to canter. He’s very agile!

  • “He’s standoffish, not a buddy with people, but we bonded quickly.”

  • After living in a field in Alberta for the first six years of his life, Bloomfield said Avatar “was a wooly mammoth. He’d never been in a barn, down a hill (or) around trees.
