DESCRIPTION OF HORSE (at time of theft):
Name: IN A SPIN
Breed: American Quarter Horse
Registration: American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA)
Sex: Stallion
Age: now 12-years-old (born 1990)
Size: about 15 hands tall
Color: Sorrel (reddish-brown chestnut) body, mane, and tail (mane and tail may appear darker than the body)
Markings: No white, but a graying patch on the right side of the neck. A scar under the right eye.
Other small scars may be visible on the face.
Appearance when last seen:
Long, full mane hanging on the left side of the neck. Spin has a relatively high tail carriage, and the tail hangs a little crooked. The tail is thin (for a showhorse) but has a slick hair coat. He is solidly built, with a thicker neck and heavy shoulders tapering to slimmer loins and hips. He is a reining horse and was wearing slider shoes in the rear. He has a noticeable resemblance to his sire, TOPSAIL CODY.

Way of going: IN A SPIN is trained as a reining horse, which means that he is a handy horse who neck reins very well and has (to the trained eye) a slope to his hip and hock, characteristic of a horse that drops his hind quarters to slide stop. He is quick on his feet, spins around fast, turns quickly, and changes leads easily. These things distinguish him from a pleasure horse, hunter/jumper, etc.

Attitude: He is very broke and friendly, with no bad stall habits. He may jerk his head up quickly if someone lifts his hand quickly toward his face.

REWARD: $1,000 after horse is recovered
