Spirit Seeker
Head high, every step
Hello, my name is Spirit Seeker, though the folks here sometimes call me Chubs with the biggest smile. I’m a 27-year-old Standardbred, foaled May 8, 1999, up in Quebec, Canada. My sire was Incredible Abe and my dam was Plain Simplicity by Balanced Image. I’ve lived a long, tough life, and I carry every mile of it in my bones.
I walked off what everyone still calls the “trailer from hell” and arrived with challenges, including a torn ligament. But I stepped off with my head high and my spirit unbroken. I love nothing more than soaking up the warm Kentucky sun on my back, rolling in the mud, eating like a king, and enjoying food, freedom, family, and rolling. The team here says I’m tough as nails, and I am. Recently my hock swelled a bit, but I’m still here defying the odds, banging on the fence to flirt with Misty, and showing everyone the will to live. My spirit was never lost, it was just waiting to be sought. At Mane Characters, I finally found the peaceful retirement I earned. Never count out an old horse like me; we still have plenty of heart left to give.
