“Gelsey” is a 2023 filly who bowed a tendon in racing training and never made it to a start. She came to us in August 2026, is receiving treatment and is expecting to recover fully. She is cute as can be - a big boned bay with a star. She is one to keep your eye on!
Ringo is a 2021 gelding who retired from racing after 10 starts. He had a bowed tendon and was underweight when he arrived, but he has healed fully with no limitations. We also treated him for stomach ulcers and he has put on some weight. He has just started his retraining and is such a sweet horse to work with. He is a nice mover and has lots of potential!
When Ringo arrived in our program in June 2026, he was underweight.

Congratulations Emma on adopting Jolene!
“Jolene” is a 2023 beautiful, liver chestnut filly who retired sound from racing after just one start. She is very kind and quiet so far! She is very athletic and could make a flashy sporthorse. She is a super special girl!
“Heath” is a 2020 gorgeous bay gelding with a solid build and sweet personality. He retired from racing in 2024, after 5 career starts. He has been restarted under saddle. He is sound, but came to us with an old sesamoid injury that has responded well with shockwave treatment. Heath is sweet as can be and gets along well with both geldings and mares. He is a very cool horse!
Congratulations Leanne on adopting Mirage!

Congratulations Gloryann on adopting Bowie!
“Bowie” is a 2022 gelding who retired from racing after 1 start. He is handsome as can be with a puppy dog personality! He is doing really well under saddle and has been kind and straightforward to restart. Due to an old racing injury, he is best suited to a flatwork career. He would make a lovely dressage horse, with his big movement and warmblood look. And his temperament could make him a wonderful trail horse as well. He is a really solid guy!

COMPANION HORSE
“Phoenix” is a lovely chestnut gelding, who retired from racing at age 11, after 66 starts. He is a warhorse who earned his retirement from racing and has some wear and tear to prove it. He is incredibly intelligent and kind and would make a wonderful friend for humans and horses. He is easy to handle and gets along well with both mares and other geldings. He is such a sweetheart and he deserves the best forever home!

“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!
Congratulations Noelle on adopting Pepper!
“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!

“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.
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!
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!
Congratulations Lisa on adopting Onyx!
“Onyx” is a gorgeous 2021 gelding who retired from racing in 2025 after 2 starts. He had a year off to let down and is now back in work, ready for his next chapter. He is a fun horse to work with - he tries so hard and really wants to please. Are you his person?
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!
