Description:
We all know that horses can race on dirt and turf, but did you know horses can also race on snow? That was the case for Encanto, a grandson of Unbridled who switched between turf and snow throughout his career racing in Europe.
The gelding started his career in Germany, where he won his debut in 2002 before being sold to Switzerland shortly after placing third in a stakes race in 2004. The gelding found success on both surfaces in that country and by the end of his career had run 56 times – with two of those races taking place over jumps – and earned over $100,000.
