Thoroughbred Stallion for Sale in Albany, OR
Askabout has been retired from the racetrack and is ready for a new career. He just didn't want to run any longer and is ready for a new direction. He is very personable and well mannered. Has no vices or soundness issues. We see him being very happy in the Dressage arena or as a Hunter / Jumper. Askabout is a bold but quiet mannered horse. He is not an airhead, but very sensible and willing to do whatever you ask. He knows what the work ethic is and will be competitive in any discipline you choose to direct him in. A lovely big moving horse, showing a lot of air time in his trot. He clips, bathes and hauls quietly.
About Albany, OR
In the historic era, the area of the Willamette Valley that makes up modern-day Albany was inhabited by one of the tribes of the Kalapuya a Penutian-speaking, Native American people. The Kalapuya had named the area Takenah, a Kalapuyan word used to describe the deep pool at the confluence of the Calapooia and Willamette rivers. A variation of the place name can also be written as Tekenah. The Kalapuya population in the valley was between 4,000 and 20,000 before contact with Europeans, but they suffered high mortality from new infectious diseases introduced shortly afterward. The tribes were decimated by a smallpox epidemic that raged through the Pacific Northwest in 1782–83.
