Bred to RUN

Meet Baby - a 5 year old stout bay mare. She's bred to run on both the top and bottom side.

Baby is green broke under saddle - she has some basics down and is ready for someone to fine tune her skills. She's been road riding and minimal trail riding, but needs some more wet saddle pads. A competent rider can easily finish her out. Unfortunately she hit the back burner as racing for her owners became incredibly busy. Because she is MI bred, her owners felt it didn't make sense to put her on the track in another state. They got a decent start on her and then she sat eating for a living.

She is big bodied and correctly built. She's an incredibly sweet mare and doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She can be a touch sensitive so a light handed rider would be best suited to team up with Baby.

She does not have any vices or injuries. She does have a cold set splint on her LF - otherwise she's completely clean and sound.

She stands well for the vet and farrier. She ties and does load, but she had had minimal hauling experience and can take a second to hop in the trailer.

If you're looking for a rocket in the barrel pen, or a stout girl to rope, here she is. Roughed in, you can finish her out your way.

Baby is located in Bailey MI and is offered in the mid/upper X,###.

Eye Fly Til Dawn/DC Red Olena
Sorrel with Flaxen Mane and Tail

Meet Fly. If you're familiar with the Clay Ranch Production sale in Ravenna, MI, you know exactly what these papers mean.

Fly is going to be a stellar all around mount - made for the barrel pen or roping pen - or both. She has just enough run and brain in her pedigree to prove this assertion.

Fly is as wide as she is tall and she's entering a growing spurt. She string tests to 15 hands so she should be the right size to do whatever your heart desires. She's put together correctly and does not have any injuries or vices.

Fly stands well for the farrier, vet, has been bathed, trailers and ties. She's ready to be taught more indepth fundamentals on the ground that will easily transfer to the saddle. I joke that these Clay Ranch horses are practically born broke.

Fly is SMART. She can be a touch timid until she gets to know you. She will stall or live outside 24/7 and as you can see she's a simple keeper.

For more information, free moving video or to schedule a time to meet her, please feel free to reach out. Fly is only being offered as her owners are too busy with racehorses and they do not want her on the backburner.

Located in Bailey, MI and we can help arrange shipping.

This is our why!

We sourced this horse directly from the track and let me tell you, he was a mess! His hind hooves were some of the wonkiest I'd seen in a while. Therefore his stride was terrible and he appeared lame. Fix the hoof, fix the horse! After months of farrier work, body and muscle work, he was ready to be put back into work without any limitations!

Now, his partner boasts about how wonderful he is! I'm so thankful she could see into his soul and was willing to give it a go! It's amazing when its the perfect match!

"Just wanted to give you an update, Mr King William he is doing amazing!! He is so brave when it comes to jumping! He is definitely a once in a lifetime horse, and thank you again!."

Take a chance - most often it's so worth it!

Multiple routes to retirement exist for Thoroughbred who are leaving the racing industry, which offer flexibility for racing connections to find just the right path for the individual needs of a horse. Resellers are a critical part of this industry, bridging between the racing industry and the equestrian industry to ensure good placement for horses.

Resellers source their horses directly from racing connections and utilize their own experience and knowledge to assess horses, rehabilitate as needed, and provide the supportive care needed in the initial transition from racing to the equestrian world. They may provide some level of initial retraining for a second career as well. They then market the horses to equestrian buyers who can continue the retraining process. Resellers may move just a few horses a year, or may resell dozens or even hundreds of horses. As business entities, they are not eligible for accreditation.

The Retired Racehorse Project is uniquely placed as the only organization that works with all branches of Thoroughbred aftercare to increase demand for Thoroughbreds beyond racing. Learn more about the landscape of aftercare at https://bit.ly/3Y8ssEC

Piton
2017 16.3 Hand OTTB Gelding

Meet Pete! He retired sound with no limitations in the fall of 2023. In 34 starts he didn't manage to break his maiden, but he always tried!

He has wonderful racing connections that do right by their horses. You can tell he doesn't possess any racing baggage that some retire with. I'm completely comfortable letting my five year old terrorist of a child around him.

I have lightly restarted him both English and Western as I feel he's the type that deserves to be well rounded. He is a versatile type and has been introduced to ground poles and a jump chute. Pete has ups! I have not started him over jumps under saddle.

He is shod - that's his only maintenance if you consider that maintenance. I had him barefoot as I was trying to correct prior poor farrier work, but this winter was just awful, and it wasn't in his best interest to transition yet so I did put front shoes back on.

He would prefer to live out 24/7 and is pretty easy going. He's currently out 24/7 but is stalled for inclement weather or when the bugs are awful.

I envision Pete in the Hunter/Jumper world. He has the mind and work ethic to do well and he naturally moves low and flat. I will say under saddle he leans to his rider for direction. If you'd like a slow ride he will follow suit. Ride more forward and with a touch more contact and he will get with the program. He is very ammy friendly and has not yet had any off site riding due to my lack of time.

He's up-to-date on everything including de-wormer, coggins, farrier etc.

Pete is located in Bailey, MI and is offered in the mid X###.

He is eligible for 2024 Makeover and I'd be happy to help sponsor his entry fee.

PLACED

DC Bail or Bars
2016 AQHA Papered Mare

Bailey is a been there done that type mare. If you look at her pedigree, her old-school bloodlines speak for themselves.

She has experience trail riding, competed in youth rodeo events and is familiar with a rope. Bailey has recently finished up a light tune up session after enjoying a life of luxury eating for a living for the last year.

She's WTC, knows leads, moves off legs, neck reins, two finger reverse, excellent stop. She could easily be pointed at a barrel pattern or simply be a nice using horse.

She loads, stands for the farrier and hard ties to just about anything and everything. She is a bit of a busier minded mare and prefers a job. She will trail ride bravely all day long but steps off with a purpose.

She does best with a quiet hand as her primary motive is to do her best in everything she does.
She's WICKED smart and stays fat on air. Bailey melts when she is groomed, but will paw if she's feeling left out or doesn't have a haybag in front of her face. She is not buddy sour and fits into herd life with zero issues. She also has excellent ground manners.

She prefers 24/7 turnout but doesn't mind coming inside for a fan to get away from flies.

Bailey is UTD on everything and is ready to find her lifetime partner. Please note - she is not an ideal match for a beginner at this time.

Located in Bailey, MI.

Please PM for more information. Mid/Upper X,###

****PLACED ****

Marble Moon
8 year old 16 hand Gelding
Located in Bailey, MI

Moon will steal your ❤️. He retired completely sound and injury free from a solid racing career this fall. He's been properly let down, turned out and very lightly restarted, both in Western and English tack. He's been introduced to ground poles and the jump chute. Moon has no vices and I cannot say anything negative about him.

He's proven himself to he classy both on and off the track. On the backside, he was handled by the trainers 14 year old; Here on the farm, he's quiet and easy to get along with. Almost too easy as I've truly taken a liking to him - going as far as trusting him to pony around my five year old daughter on many occasions.

Under saddle Moon is respectful. I don't know that I have specific discipline in mind for him, he is more than capable of any direction. He does need a little help understanding collection in a double jointed snaffle, otherwise he's pretty straightforward to ride. Please note he's not a kick ride at this time - he will move out.

Moon has been on the backburner due to no fault of his own. I have been up to my eyeballs in training horses this spring. As those horses head to the track, my plan was to get committed to an indepth restart, but it seems as though I have more coming in and I won't get to him as quickly as I'd like.

He's being offered green for that reason. He is WTC and knows leads - a confident amateur with a trainer would be an ideal match for him. He will need additional training to be truly successful.

Moon is RRP eligible for 2024. In the event I don't find a suitable partner I'll take him to the Makeover myself. But I'd really love to watch someone grow and progress with him.

He is up-to-date on all vaccinations, coggins, farrier, chiropractor etc. Literally he's standing around waiting to get started in his next adventure!

Please feel free to reach out with questions or for videos of Moon. He's offered in the mid X,###.
