armed

adj. equipped with weapons; prepared with equipment; covered protectively; having arms, having upper limbs

v. equip with weapons; be equipped with weapons

Armed (May, 1941-1964) was an American Thoroughbred gelding race horse. He was sired by the great stakes winner Bull Lea, which made him a half-brother to Citation. His dam was Armful, whose sire was Belmont Stakes winner, Chance Shot, and whose grandsire was the great Fair Play.Small for his age and very headstrong, Armed's habit of biting and kicking hay out of his handler's pitchfork, along with being practically untrainable, caused his trainer, Ben A. Jones to send him back to Calumet Farm to be gelded and turned out to grow up. He returned to the track late in his two-year-old season and resumed training.
