Reipas
Reipas (July 14, 1948 – September 20, 1971) was a successful Finnish trotter. He was a Finnhorse gelding, and the first Finnish horse to earn over one million marks in one season.
Reipas was the best earning trotter in Finland through 1958-1960, and his earnings each season exceeded one million Marks, corresponding roughly to EUR 20,000. He was owned and mostly driven by Aapeli Miettinen. Reipas competed in 1952–1965, winning 348 of his approximately 1300 heats. His greatest win count in one season was 62.
Being a gelding, Reipas never had offspring. His statue has been erected in the town centre of his home, Varpaisjärvi.
==Early life==
Reipas was foaled in 1948 in Kortesjärvi, bred by Lauri Ylikoski.〔Aalto, p. 136〕 He was originally named Poju.〔 Poju was intended to become a working horse, and was accordingly gelded.〔 Soon afterwards, he was sold to Paavo Kontiainen from Evijärvi for 20,000 Marks, and Kontiainen then sold him in the Kokkola market.〔 Poju was resold a few times more, always for a higher price, until he was bought by smallholder Aapeli Miettinen's son Väinö for 38,000 Marks.〔〔 By then, Poju was three years old, and very thin and weak.〔〔 The father wondered aloud why Väinö had bothered to bring such a "fur purse" all the way from the city.〔Raevuori (ed). pp. 60-62〕 However, on good pasture, the barely walking Poju's condition soon improved, and Aapeli Miettinen traded him from his son for a five-year-old mare and 10,000 Marks. The now lively gelding was renamed ''Reipas'' ("Brisk").〔〔
