Herodotus (stable name `H’) is by Zafonic (USA) out of Thalestria (Fr). A 17.1hh bay thoroughbred gelding, `H' was born 7/3/1998 and was trained firsly by Clive Brittain and later by K. Cunningham-Brown. He raced on the flat 31 times including 13 on the all weather and 3 over hurdles. He raced between 1 - 1 1/2 miles had 3 wins and 1 third, with total winnings of £35,806, but his racing talent proved somewhat erratic.
`H' can be a tricky character on the ground, he doesn’t mean to be but he sometimes gets a bit defensive about his space, his head, his legs, his tummy….....`H' is a lovely horse to ride being both well schooled and comfortable. If you get past the sometimes very unappealing faces he really can be quite a softy.
