WATCH: Treadmill workout with our Phoenix Of Spain gelding – find out more with Sean Quinn
And after our Phoenix Of Spain two-year-old arrived at Bellwood Cottage Stables with trainer John Quinn after being bought at the Tattersalls Guineas Breeze Up Sale, the situation was no different.
It was clear he had some maturing to do physically, but fast forward a couple of months after having plenty of time to settle in, he's now being stepped up a level to further his progression as he continues to work towards his debut for the club.
Tune into our latest video to see him in action during a unique treadmill workout, whilst Sean Quinn [Assistant Trainer] explains all the benefits of working a young horse on a treadmill before sending them out onto the gallops.
