We don’t really know what happens to race horses after they retire. Sometimes they are taken care of by their owners, there are times when they are sent to different sanctuaries and some other enjoy their life in lush paddocks doing what they love, run freely. What you are going to watch in this video is Nyquist, the 2016 Kentucky Derby Winner enjoying the life as he runs around in a large lush paddock.
The video was posted on Facebook by Darley Stud which tries to help stay connected with our loving horses. Nyquist is having the time of his life at Jonabell Farm and enjoys his retirement in the best way possible. I just love the bursts of speed he puts on as he runs for the pure enjoyment of it. He looks so healthy and happy and apparently, he still loves running like in the old days. This joyful boy still looks great even though he has some more weight on him.
It’s amazing how he slows down around the curves and then speeds up and runs fast. He is running to his heart’s content and on his own terms having no pressure at all. Watch and enjoy the video of Nyquist!
