“Viggo” is a gorgeous warhorse who retired at age 11 after a whopping 75 starts. In December 2024, we treated a bone chip in his fetlock with PRP (platelet rich plasma) and restarted his training in January 2025. Viggo is a 17.1, gorgeous bay with so much potential. He is one to watch!

Nemo is currently being fostered by Claire Foster! Special thanks to her and her family for sponsoring his care.
“Nemo” is a 2018 chestnut gelding who retired from racing after 15 starts. Unfortunately, he developed osselets (bone growths) on his fetlocks while on the track from the high demand and stress of the sport. Because the joints are involved, it is not recommended that he do much riding. He is comfortable now and we’d like him to stay that way, so we are offering him as a companion horse only. He has a lovely temperament and is gorgeous to look at - he would make a wonderful addition to any herd!
Congratulations, Laura, on your adoption of Jackson!
“Jackson” is an amazing horse. We have kept him in our training program for 4 years, due to his wonderful temperament and athletic abilities. He is ready to find his person to excel in dressage, trails and anything else he puts his mind to! Jackson is very personable with a huge work ethic. He is very muscular and built solid for a thoroughbred, with 3 powerful gaits and lovely self carriage. He is light in the bridle and has been schooled in lateral work at the walk and trot. Jackson has been ridden on and off site in clinics including a classical dressage clinic with Dominique Barbier, obstacles and working equitation clinics, Centered Riding clinics, and a variety of others. He has been ridden english and western.
Jackson is UTD on vaccinations, deworming, farrier and dental care. He is a truly wonderful horse and it is hard to let him go!
“Mercury” is a 2018 grey gelding, who retired after 22 starts due to a sesamoid fracture. He came to us very underweight and subdued. He spent some time in stall rest to heal his fracture and was treated for ulcers to help heal his gut to promote weight gain. He is a sweet and gentle horse who is slowly coming out of his shell. In January 2025, he started retraining and is such a joy to work with.
“Cecily” is a lovely 8 year old bay mare, retiring from the track after 27 starts. She is a kind mare with some wear and tear on her body from her racing days. We are working on rehabilitating her hooves and getting her comfortable enough to be a companion horse.
Congratulations to Maya on adopting Cassidy!
“Cassidy” is a tall, dark and handsome 2017 gelding who retired sound after 26 starts. He arrive in May 2024 and is taking some time to let down and rehab his thin-soled hooves before he begins training.

Moon Pie is a 2021 filly who fractured her knee and shin, causing her to retire from racing after 3 starts. She has responded well to a PRP (platelet-rich plasma) treatment to heal the fracture and is now enjoying her time turned out in a herd of other mares. We will be giving her a full year post injury before she begins retraining.
Gertrude’s comfortability deteriorated and we helped her pass peacefully, surrounded by horses and humans who loved her.
“Gertrude” was an impressive Kentucky-bred 2019 liver chestnut mare, retiring after 15 starts and 5 wins. She even won her last race in which she sustained a sesamoid fracture! This beauty was a beast!
Gerty healed her fracture, but unfortunately was been diagnosed with DSLD (degenerative suspensory ligament disease). She was turned out to a larger paddock where she could socialize with other horses. We
Congratulations to Ana on her adoption of Aurum!
“Aurum” is a 2020 Kentucky bred gelding who retired after 14 starts due to a sesamoid fracture. He has healed well and his injury should not impact his future limitations. Aurum is now turned out with other young geldings and has begun his retraining. Aurum is handsome, well built and has three lovely gaits. This horse is special!

Congratulations to Alison on adopting Grady!
“Grady” is a 2020 gelding who retired from racing due to a bowed tendon. He has healed up well and put on some weight since he arrived in January. He currently lives out with another gelding and has started retraining for his next chapter. He is tall and sweet and a very fun horse to be around!

Congratulations to Maya on her adoption of Gomez!
“Gomez” is a 2020 gelding who retired sound after 2 starts. He was too slow for the racetrack, but is enjoying getting prepared for his next career. He is tall and handsome, looking for the right person to bring him along!
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALEX AND KURT ON ADOPTIING SEBASTIAN!
“Sebastian” is a 2020 gelding who was too slow for a racing career, but has let down and is ready for his next chapter. He has been lightly restarted under saddle and has been gentle and uncomplicated. He has a great brain and personality - very sweet and intelligent. He will make someone a wonderful equine partner!
Ichabod is currently being fostered by Raese Johnson - special thanks to her for sponsoring his care!
“Ichabod” retired after 27 starts, 11 firsts and over $219k career earnings. After he retired from racing, he was put out to pasture for 5 years before he came to us. His owner had died and he had nowhere to go in his condition - with an old knee fracture and overgrown, split hooves, he had clearly been neglected. Ichabod’s former racing trainer found out about his old horse and kindly sponsored his intake costs.
Ichabod is doing so much better as his hooves are being rehabbed and his dental issues are being tended. His knee is partially fused, but he is looking more sound and comfortable all the time. This special horse deserves a happy ending and we hope he finds his perfect person once he is well enough to move along.

Congratulations Delvin on your new horse!
“Perrier” is a lovely 3 year old gelding who retired from racing after 7 starts, because he was no longer winning. He is a tall glass of water and a graceful sporthorse prospect. He is UTD on vaccinations, deworming, and farrier care and ready to meet his new partner!
Congratulations Michele on adopting Parker (JC: Barke)!
Congratulations Anne on your adoption!
Del Talko is a tall and beautiful 4 year old gelding. He is an unraced gelding, who bowed a tendon in racing training and came into our care in August 2023. He has healed well and should have no future limitations. He has begun groundwork. With a warmblood build and sweet disposition, he should be a wonderful prospect for any discipline.
Chester is UTD on vaccinations, deworming, and farrier care (barefoot). He is ready for his next chapter!
