Thanatos is the second horse we bought and has a rather interesting backstory. Shiann was trying to learn more about Akhal-Tekes and was therefore at a breed show for Akhal-Tekes. They had there a few Tekes that take part in small-time races all over, mostly for fun, and have good conformation and race-horse attitude. She was watching the race when Thanatos, then called Devil's Advocate. He stood out in the crowd, but even then she had no intention of buying him. During the race, he was like lightening- Maybe not competitive against a good thoroughbred, but he was stomping the other horses. Then he changed leads to avoid a napkin that someone threw from the stadium. The jockey was dismounted and didn't have time to release the reins. Thanatos skidded and fell. Both were overall okay but the mandatory vet examination revealed that Thanatos had slight indications of early stages of tendonitis.
Shiann inquired on the horse after the race, seeing him tied along the fence. The owner told her sadly that he would be retired from racing and would be sold because the owner wasn't a breeder, just a racer. She offered to buy him right then as she was going to be a breeder, and he was happy to hand Thanatos over, seeing that she was earnest in wanting him and promising to give him a happy home, and happened to have a full wallet from a recent paycheck that day.
He's since healed almost completely and is only used for light riding and jumping. He's had a rather successful career as a stallion so far and has sired many colts.
