Mithqaal

“Harry” was adopted by our very own veterinarian, Dr. Berkley Chesen, before he even made it to our facility! She fell in love with him from afar and plans to bring him along for the Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover competition in 2026. We are so excited to follow their journey to Kentucky!

Mithqaal retired from racing as a 12 year old after 80 career starts. He was an impressive racehorse who sold for $270k at auction as a weanling and went on to race all over the US as well as the UK! He is so lucky to have been adopted by a wonderful vet, so she can give him top level treatment for all of his old aches and pains as he lets down from life on the track. They are such a cool pair!

Boy Wildcat

“Pepper” is an adorable 2023 gelding who retired sound from racing after 2 starts, because he wasn’t fast enough to be competitive. But we think he’s a winner anyway! He is cute as a button and ready to be brought up right. Fill out an adoption inquiry form if you’re interested in coming out to meet him!

Congratulations Carla on adopting Binx!

“Binx” is a gorgeous 3 year old gelding who retired sound from racing after just 2 starts. He was not fast enough to be a racehorse, but we like them that way! Binx is registered black and so, so pretty. He is looking for a special person to grow up with!

Undbridled Optimist

“Orion” is a stunning 6 year old dapple grey gelding who retired from racing due to a bone chips in his fetlocks. He received a state of the art PRP (platelet rich plasma) treatment, sponsored by Dr. Berkley Chesen and Karin Williamson of Dechra Equine. He came out of stall rest in October 2025 and is looking super sound and healthy so far! He is definitely one to watch!

All Chrome

“Disco” is a 2017 gelding who retired from racing in November 2024 after 40 career starts and over $200,000 in earnings. He retired due to a bowed tendon, which has healed well and should not limit his future as a pleasure or sporthorse. He is striking at over 17 hands, built beautifully, and is an earnest, willing horse to work with.

Major Express

Congratulations Sarah on adopting Major Express!

Major Express came to our program in June 2025. He is a 2010 chestnut gelding who was bred for racing and trained at the track, but was not ever actually raced. His previous owner had him for 10 years and restarted him in trail riding and eventing. Her life circumstances changed and she could no longer care for him - not due to any fault of his. We are still getting to know him, but it is clear that he has a lot of training and experience and doesn’t feel much like a racehorse at all! He is tall, big boned and sturdy, with the sweetest temperament. He really wants to please and deserves to find his forever person!

Lucky Money

Congratulations to Heidi on adopting Lucky!

“Lucky” is a 2021 bay gelding who was not competitive as a racehorse, but was able to retire before sustaining any injuries. He is track broke, but a blank slate in a lot of ways and ready to go any direction with an experienced rider/handler, or someone working closely with a professional trainer. He is very cute and tries hard to please!

The Black

“Onyx” is a 2021 gelding who came to us in February 2025 after fracturing two sesamoids on the racetrack. He is about halfway through his stall rest and his recheck in May showed amazing healing progress. We are crossing our fingers that he might be sound for riding! He has a velvety black coat and is built nicely. Send him some love while he heals!

Congratulations Laura Lea on adopting Josie!

“Josie” is a 2021 unraced bay mare who fractured a sesamoid in racing training. She has healed well and should have no soundness limitations going forward. Josie has begun groundwork training and is so fun to work with. She is going to make someone an incredible partner!

Congratulations Frank on adopting Viggo!

“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 restarted under saddle and goes well in an english or western saddle. This horse is a total catch!

Reel Em In

COMPANION HORSE ONLY

“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 not be ridden. 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 goofy 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!

McMercelus

“Mercury” is a 2018 grey gelding, who retired after 22 starts due to a serious 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.

We are bringing Mercury back into work slowly and are looking for an adopter with patience. He is such a kind and special horse and needs to build a bond with his own person who will continue increasing his workload gradually and without pressure to perform as a sporthorse. He has lots of potential, an abundance of beauty, and is looking for his perfect match!

Spicey Secret

“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.

Double Secret

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 Money

COMPANION HORSE ONLY

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, but is not currently sound for riding. She does well living in a herd and gets along well with other mares.

Greatest Glory

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

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!

“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!
