"Slick"
1997 Thoroughbred gelding
ridden by Danny Parks
Slick had
somehow ended up with Maia after a summer tour of the
hunter circuit during her time with the CU Equestrian
Team, and never left. Originally banked as a
children's mount, she bought him on the intent to ride
him in jumpers, but lent him to Georgia and never
really got him back. By the time Danny joined our
team, Slick was fairly neglected in respect to
competition, and incredibly fat. Taking pity on him
has proven to be an excellent career move on his part;
Slick has turned out to be an excellent jumper at high
levels, although we're planning on debuting him at
something lower - giving him some time to lose his
weight.
