Available Horses

 

Most of our adoptable horses come directly from the track, Gulfstream Race Park in Hallandale, FL. Most are injured and require rehabilitation.  During their rehab, we also start with retraining, it may be basic manners, especially if they are on stall rest, we are able to tell you where each horse is in their training, but they are ex racehorses.  Come and see with open minds, they are really amazing horses!  We specialize in finding a good fit with one of our horses, or referring you to another rescue if we don’t have one that is a match!  Check our FB  Page for updates, videos and pictures we don’t always make it in to update the website   Curious about the process?  Check it out  Adoption Process

Danceonthemoney (PA)

TB, B, H, FOALED MAY 23, 2011
( ACTIVISTPOLISH BUCK TROUT, BY POLISH NUMBERS )
unrated, injured in workout, companion only please .  Super smart and funny, but has a history of kicking.  Can be hard to handle when he is worried, he can worry easily.  In the field hes very in your pocket kind of guy   Would do well w lead line obstacle courses if someone wanted to bring him along, super curious about everything, not spooky.  I understand that this is a confusing description, but he’s that kind of horse.   Hes a big 17hh or taller, build is downhill so this back legs are ridiculously long.  He also has a hard time sweating.   Despite all that he is a favorite around here, you just have to meet him!
Adoption fee $700

Diamond– QUARTER HORSE COMPANION ONLY- ADOPTED

He’s about 15.3-16.0hh

Vices: bucking in the past as a result of pain- no expectation of this resolving…He has been X-rayed and untrasounded, damage to his back.  He runs around in the field just fine, but he can’t support a rider, not even a small one.  His buck is immediate and extreme, so when we say companion, really is companion.

Adoption Fee $500 Companion Only

    Hi there, who is the sire/dam on the Astounding Spirit gelding? He’s really a sweet looking guy.

    I am interested in Applesauce. Where are you located?

    • He was actually adopted out in early Nov, sorry the web site is not current on the adoptable horses. We currently have a variety of OTTB’s from companion to light riding available, and one horse that is sound, but just started under saddle. We also have one pony, that is 25 years old, that is in foster looking for a home. We are having an open house on Valentines Day if you are interested in meeting the horses. There is an application on this page, you can fill that out and we will keep it on file and let you know when a horse that meets your criteria becomes available
