In an exclusive feature in The Daily Telegraph Laura Collett has revealed that Kauto Star is adapting well to his new discipline as he learns the ropes in dressage.
"What he's found hardest and what's going to take him longest is how to do a steady canter because he's only ever known gallops. "He's getting there but finds it quite hard to hold it because the muscles he uses most in dressage are not those needed to stretch himself in racing." Collett told The Daily Telegraph that Kauto Star will not perform in public unless everyone is absolutely convinced he is ready. "If I felt he couldn't do himself proud, I wouldn't want to take him out. Because of who he is, he deserves that," adding, "He's a bit special, isn't he?"
