Description

Happy Family is a lovely quiet 4yo gelding. He is very easy to do anything with but is probably just looking for a slightly weaker jurisdiction. Although he has never been scoped with me, he has been known to make a slight noise in track work, hence the cross over, tongue tie combination.

Having won one race from only ten starts, he is very easy to place.
