Noble Lady
Noble Lady is wintering well! After being treated for ulcers, we have her happy and back to her spicey self! Lady can be a spunky girl in turnout, but is quiet and sweet to work around. Lady would excel as an eventer, barrel racer ECT. She loves to work and has a lot of gas in
Sergeant Major
Sergio is a chill as they come! He was bought straight from the track two years ago. He retired with a bowed tendon. It was properly rehabbed and is now set and cold. With this old injury he shouldn’t have many limitations, but as always, PPE’s are welcome and recommended especially for show homes! Sergio
Honor Among Men
Norman sold for over $600,000 before his racing career started. He has a “Mare stare” but is really a sweet boy. Norman has great ground manners, and is easy enough for my daughter to take out to pasture. He was the best boy for the farrier! Norman turns out well with others in the pasture.
Blue Eyed Warrior
Blue retired from racing 11/11/24. She is currently moving sound and retired with no known limitations. She does have scars behind both knees, we do not know what this is from but highly recommend a PPE for upper level expectations. Blue is going to need some more let down time and an experienced OTTB handler,
Tosconovia Beauty
Beauty is a mare, but does not have any typical mare qualities so far. She is kind, sweet, and loves attention! Beauty has a forward walk that will take you places while being respectful of her handler. Last raced December 15th 2024, but you would think she’s been retired for much longer with her quiet

She has been barefoot since retiring from racing, and has strong feet & bones. She enjoys being groomed, but isn’t a fan of her ears being touched.
Motley Sue
Motley Sue retired sound this fall after 16 starts with no known limitations. She is not yet restarted. Sue really prefers turnout time outside, and would do best with an experienced home. She has some nice bloodlines, including A. P. Indy. Sue could go in any direction!
Bob Sylvester
Bob is a Leofric offspring; they have been known for their good temperaments. He has great ground manners for being such a giant! Beautiful movement that will surely get you seen in any show ring! Bob is unraced due to a small tear in the tendon. We do have an ultrasound from February 2024. He
The Iceman Runneth

Frosted Julip
Julip was one of four horses rescued from a neglect case on May 26th. She was found with three of her friends stuck in a barn with no food or water standing in her own feces. Julip can be guarded with people, but is starting to come around. We feel she is best as a companion

Compute It
This handsome guy retired from racing sound with no known limitations. He is sweet and easy to work around. He does get antsy on the cross ties in our wash stall, but he does tie nicely in his stall. He turns out great with others and has good ground manners! Compute is a little immature
Savage Spirit
Savage retired sound with no known limitations. He would make a beautiful hunter jumper!! Savage has shown us that he can be a little claustrophobic in turn out and does not appreciate having to share small paddocks with others. He has bitten other geldings when trying to find a pasture mate at FLTAP. He is
Quintarelli
Quin would prefer to be a pasture pet. He is blind in the left eye and has a history of broken withers. He does crib, but is controlled with a collar that will be sent home with him. If you have room in your heart and barn for Quin, please let us know. His adoption

The owner of this mare rode her herself on the track. Says she has a beautiful way of going and sets her head perfectly under saddle. This mare is leading mare in the herd all winter. She turns out well with others but can be bossy. She is easy to handle on the ground and
Bear’s Correct
Bear retired from racing 10/11/23 and was sold from the track by his trainer. Unfortunately the buyer realized he was too much for her, as she was just getting back into horses, and donated him to us just a few weeks ago. Bear has not been restarted under saddle and would very much like to
