Je T'adore - 2022 16h Mare
Dorie may be the next Journey 2.0! She is kind, quiet and sensible! Dorie turns out well, and has great ground manners. She can get excited about going out to the pasture but listens to corrections.
She only arrived a few days ago and has settled in nicely. Today we played over the bridge for the first time on our way in and she didn't even hesitate. This girl has brains and beauty with no known limitations, she's the total package. 2027 RRP eligible, not yet restarted, and ready to go home!
Come Monday - 2023 16.2h Mare
Coco is stunning, these pictures after she rolled in the sand do her no justice. She is playful, energetic and very athletic.
Coco has no known injuries or limitations, she was just too slow for racing and couldn't break her maiden after 4 starts and not showing any promise of getting there. She is 2027 RRP eligible. Not yet restarted under saddle. Last race was 8/31/26 Sound, clean legs and ready for her second career.
Colten Goes - 2020 16h Gelding
Colten was Melissa & Kevin's racehorse for the last year and a half, and before that he was with Julie Smith, who you might remember as the manager at FLTAP when I first started here 8 years ago! So you could say I have known this boy for a while I have TONS of track pictures and videos of this handsome boy.
Colten has a heart of gold, he loves to work and loves his people even more! Colten has become part of the family and making the decision to find him his own person wasn't easy, but we just don't have the time or space for a 3rd riding horse right now, so I knew FLTAP was the best place to help find him his person!
Colten would make a beautiful dressage project, hunter, pleasure ECT. He is a fancy toe flicking mover.
Pro's about Colten: He loads well on a ramp trailer, cross ties, swims,goes on the walker, loves to work,will stand tied in his stall,LOVES BATHS, and enjoys attention. He turns out well with others and loves our donkey Earl.
Con's: when in his stall he will occasionally wind suck on his feed tub, he doesn't love hind shoes being nailed on, he needs you to make a "chhht" noise when using fly spray , and he doesn't like to be rushed(he will shake if you tack or groom him in a hurry).
Colten has not been restarted yet but is ready and is going to make a very loyal partner to whoever is lucky enough to be his new owner!
Escape Mission - 2019 16.2h Gelding
Mission retired with a chip in the knee after his last race on 5/14/25. He has some anxiety under saddle and is best suited for an experienced rider with low level riding expectations for now.
Mission is a sweet boy that loves attention. He stands on cross ties and loves baths. He turns out well with others and is ready to find his forever home!
Kodiak Brown - 2017 16.2h Gelding
Calling all dressage riders....here's your next fancy project!!
Kodiak is barefoot and sound with no known limitations. He has been lightly restarted but wasn't clicking with his previous adopter. Kodiak thrives with a confident rider. He listens well to your seat and is willing to try anything asked of him.
Kodiak will stop and try to sniff or nibble your boot when he thinks he is done riding for the day, but will move forward with a squeeze and cluck and go right back to work when asked. This guy loves to have a job and is a beautiful mover.
Kodiak turns out well with others and is middle of the herd, not pushy but will stand up for himself if needed. Kodiak loads and trailers like the perfect gentleman. He stands tied in his stall or on cross ties. Ready to find his person and learn his second career today!
Interchanger - 2020 17h Gelding
Chacha retired sound with no known limitations. He does have osselets but they are set and cold.
He has not been restarted yet but is ready. Because he has not been restarted, and he can be pushy at times , we suggest an experienced adopter for now. Chacha is kind and allows the kids to groom and bath him. He shows potential to make a nice family horse one day, but for now he is big and knows it, and will need someone to set boundaries with him.
Houdini's Bride - 2021 16.1h Mare
Dini is very sweet and has great ground manners. Dini has go, but would prefer more woah. She is brave and athletic with no known limitations. Dini is ready to find her person and her second career!
Thrillswithnobills - 2021 16.2h Mare
Billy is kind, loves attention, and wants to be a pocket pony. She is a big girl and knows it; she can be pushy at times but isn't mean, just wants to be in your lap.
Billy is brave and willing to try new things. She loves working on obstacles and is curious about new things. Billy would make a wonderful addition to an experienced family. She is still green but shows great potential to make a kids horse after being properly restarted.
Billy retired sound with an old osselet. She is moving sound and ran second in all 4 of her last races with it so this should not limit her in her second career.
Senor Poncho - 2022 16.1h Gelding
Poncho retired from racing with a fractured cannon bone. He has had time to heal and is ready to find an easy-going second career.
We believe he would excel in dressage, but is also brave and willing to make a nice trail horse also. Poncho stands on cross ties and loves a good bath! He is spirited in turnout but respects the fence and others. Poncho is ready to find his person!
Z Wilcat - 2021 16h Gelding
Z retired with a small bow. He is currently moving sound but will need to be slowly brought back into retraining to ensure the tendon stays tight. He loves turnout and is full of spunk.
Z will need an experienced trainer to bring him along that can slowly bring him back under saddle.
Z is quick and athletic. We believe, with time, he could make a wonderful jumper/low level eventer once that tendon is fully set!
Quartnect - 2022 16.3h Mare
This pretty lady is in fact 16.3h with the stick! And being only 4 years old there is still time to grow!
This girl doesn't have any known limitations and is ready to find her second career. She does like to rush into the stall but is learning to slow down with every time we take her in and out.
Conformist - 2018 16h Gelding
“Connor” was pretty tick and choppy in the hind end when he first arrived. We have been giving him as much turnout as possible and recently started lunging him over ground poles.
Connor is a smart, but anxious boy. He is a bit misunderstood with his grumpy faces he gives but he truly is a sweetheart. Connor has started to relax his hind end movement and is stepping up under himself nicely now.
His left hind still appears to be sticky, but he has been started on Adequan shots and we are seeing improvements in his movement since he first arrived.
He has stood perfect to be saddled but did move his head around the whole time (part of how he shows his anxiety). This guy will need an experienced OTTB person to bring him along slowly and correctly.
