 Rambo (2008)
IMDB rating: 7.50
Plot: Vietnam veteran John Rambo has survived many harrowing ordeals in his lifetime and has since withdrawn into a simple and secluded existence in Thailand, where he spends his time capturing snakes for local entertainers, and chauffeuring locals in his old PT boat. Even though he is looking to avoid trouble, trouble has a way of finding him: a group of Christian human rights missionaries, led by Michael Burnett and Sarah Miller, approach Rambo with the desire to rent his boat to travel up the river to Burma. For over fifty years, Burma has been a war zone. The Karen people of the region, who consist of peasants and farmers, have endured brutally oppressive rule from the murderous Burmese military and have been struggling for survival every single day. After some inner contemplation, Rambo accepts the offer and takes Michael, Sarah, and the rest of the missionaries up the river. When the missionaries finally arrive at the Karen village, they find themselves part of a raid by the sadistic Major Pa Tee Tint and a slew of Burmese army men. A portion of the villagers and missionaries are tortured and viciously murdered, while Tint and his men hold the remainder captive. Concerned by their disappearance, the minister in charge of the mission gathers a group of mercenaries and pleas Rambo transport them with his boat, since he knows their last exact location. But Rambo can’t stay behind: he joins the team where he belongs, to liberate the survivors from the clutches of Major Tint in what may be one of his deadliest missions ever

Awww….. I love this horse LOL…. but being objective, what do you think of him?
besides the fact that he is utterly adorable with his cute little snip? hehe
The last mare I showed you guys – River – isn’t going to work out… but that’s okay I guess… she would have taken a ton of time and work anyways…
This is Rambo. I think he looks like a keeper. His conformation looks okay to me…. well, instead of rambling I’ll let you guys see what you think LOL.
I’m including a couple of different ads of his because they all have different pictures:

Here is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRAbSbKg4 0I
So I guess he looks like he could use some more work under saddle and all, but that’s not a big deal as long as he has a decent mind and isn’t lame or anything.
What do you think of him? He’s a pretty good price…. I like him…
Ooohh…. I really like that second horse, Zeph… the mare…
Wouldn’t be one I’d bother with.
He’s got big ankles (probably osselets) and his legs don’t look real clean. He’s heavy on the forehand, with too much neck for his body and a pigeon breast. He stands like he hurts, with his front legs too far back under him.
In the video… where to begin? He’s hollow backed and has no natural self carriage at all. He resists every time she puts even the mildest contact on the bit. He doesn’t trackup at the trot AT ALL. Sure, he slops around the arena slowly and calmly, but that’s not what you want in an eventer. You want a horse that’s got selfcarriage; that’s got some decent extension in his gaits, that accepts the bit willingly, and that wants to MOVE.
Honestly, I think this horse is in pain.
This horse took 2 years and 9 races to break his maiden, racing at the lowest levels – the VERY lowest levels. I can’t think why they kept on. Probably a horse someone gave to a groom or an assistant, who just wanted to have a horse to learn racing with. Doesn’t speak well for his training. THen, after his one and only win, they gave him a year off, then brought him back to race again. Something happened in that race, I suspect; some injury. Grand total winnings in 4 years: less than $5,000. Didn’t even pay for the entry fees.
If I were looking for a horse recently off the track, I’d check out these:
http://horseadoption.com/paddy-the-pro/ Imported for and ran in the Breeder’s Cup
http://horseadoption.com/hushaby-honey/ Never raced, calm
Last week they had a mare by Unbridled Song, but I don’t see her today. I haven’t totally tortured myself by looking closely at these horses, but they’re also in Ohio and this rescue has some of the best horses out there. THey get horses from owners who really care about them, and don’t want them raced in lower class races so they give them away to nonrace owners.
Good Luck.
Edit: Found her! http://horseadoption.com/unbridled-cass/
For $700, this is a beauty.

CUTIE!!! At that one pic he looks like he could use a bit more meat on him…but hey its a great price…looks like a sweet horse…if you have the time go for it!!!

I really don’t like his neck or much of his front end to be honest with you. In some of the pictures he looks over at the knee and looks as though he has quite a crooked front end. In other pictures, his front legs look decent. I really don’t like his neck either. It looks cresty and that he has a really thick throat latch.
He is though, as you say, completely adorable.
