Snow Bank – 2021 15.3h Mare
Snow is a kind young girl but is very shy and jumpy at quick movements.
She retired sound with no known limitations. She does appear to have an old splint on the right hind leg but is not bothered by it.
Brettski - 2014 15.2h Mare
Brettski was found in the auction pipeline. She was saved, quarantined, and brought to FLTAP. Brettski has definitely had retraining! She understands leg, and is VERY voice command under saddle. Brett has the perfect amount of woah and go; she gives you just what you ask for.The only bad I can say about our ride is she can hang on the bit at times but that's being extra picky! Can be pushy on the ground, and sometimes hard to catch. She turns out well with others, and will need an Intermediate or above rider.
Ollie Can Dance - 2020 15.3h Gelding
Ollie is a sweet boy. He loves to play with lead ropes and anything he can get his mouth on. He does not like to load on a straight load trailer and started refusing to go in the starting gate before races so his trainer decided it was best to find him a second career. He retired sound with clean legs and no known limitations.
Collected Special - 2021 16.1h Gelding
Cole is a sweet easy going guy, He enjoys being groomed and is a good boy to handle on the ground.
Cole is currently barefoot after pulling a shoe in the pasture and taking some hoof wall with it. He will do best with front shoes and is waiting for enough hoof to grow to be able to nail shoes back on.
Cole is ready to find his person and start his next career!
Ogermeister - 2011 16h Gelding
Ogie was bought off the track in 2017 and has been with the same boarding barn but a few different owners since retiring from racing. Ogie is a chunky boy, and can be pushy at times. He was very much loved and spoiled but not taught how to respect his handlers. We were told he was ridden mainly bareback around the property by his last owner. We were told he can be lazy and trip occasionally if not paying attention when riding.
He had a full vet work up prior to coming to us and we would be happy to share with approved potential adopters. He appears to have clean legs and no known limitations. He comes with his own brushes, a few blankets and a fly mask as well. Full vet records to approved adopters only.
Unnamed #1 - 2022 15.3h Mare
"Amy" is not currently named with the Jockey Club, and we are on the search for the perfect name. Her sire is Bustin Stones, and her dam is Amulay She is ready to start her search for her person!
Amy is a sweet young girl that will need an experienced trainer to bring her along as she can be shy and immature at times.
Wave - 2022 15.2h Mare
Only two races under her cinch. She finished 11th and 9th with a speed figure of ZERO . Her trainer says she just doesn't have the racehorse mentality. The girl is as sweet as they come! She loves kisses, was great for her bath and stood like a statue for her photos. She does not have the best reverse button but will back on her terms. She is easy to handle and stands tied in her stall quietly for grooming. Wave is a clean slate with no known limitations and is ready to be restarted your way! She is quiet enough for an intermediate Rider to bring along themselves.
Sammzilla - 2008 15.3h Mare
Samm is ready to find her Forever home. A FOREVER home is a must! She is 17 years old, Has been a racehorse, a mama, and was starved. She is looking for a laid back babysitting job in the field, or possibly a modeling job just looking pretty as a new penny. Sam does not love being groomed. She stands on cross ties for baths perfectly. She is very good with other horses and would make a good babysitter for weanlings or another old pasture pet.
Uncle Vic - 2019 15.3h Gelding
Uncle Vic came to us very neglected. He is now back to good health, and ready to find his home. He has exceptional ground manners, but can be claustrophobic. He will need a full restart. Is currently taking tack and some weight standing at the mounting block. He is barefoot, sound, and no known limitations, but will need someone with patience and no timeline.
Honor Among Men - 2017 16.1h Gelding
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. He has had one post track ride, walking only as he was very anxious and needed more time to settle in. We believe Norman is going to excel as a trail mount as he is very willing to try for his handlers.
Frankie's Rose - 2021 16.1h Mare
Frankie's rose is looking phenomenal coming out of winter! Dapples already. Frankie is coming along nicely. She is enjoying being groomed (on her terms of course because she is a mare) and is becoming more comfortable with her feet. The back feet are still a work in progress but we are getting there. Frankie is wonderful to ride and always turns out well with others. She is quiet to mount, with 3 quiet gaits w/t/c, well balanced and willing under saddle! Frankie does not like to be rushed and is going to be more of a one person type of horse. She enjoys creating a bond with her person!
