DEERFIELD BEACH aka “Hunter” had his first ride today and it went extremely easy, as expected 😍 got on him and rode as if he’s done it a bunch of times before! Nothing has yet to phase this handsome boy. He’s got a comfortable trot, is very easygoing, and has such a pleasantly sweet and friendly personality. What’s not to love?!
Hunter is 10yrs old, ~16.2hh, last raced 5/3/24, with no history of injuries. He’s available for !
Video coming soon 🤩
DEERFIELD BEACH aka “Hunter” was a model student today! Lunging, ground tying, and wearing tack and preparing to take a rider! None of it bothered him and he picked up new skills quickly. As you can see, he is also very kind to the young c**t he is pasture mates with ❤️

DEERFIELD BEACH aka “Hunter” is just a peach! This handsome guy has such excellent manners and a very friendly personality towards horses and humans! Today, he worked on lunging and ground tying, which he picked up very quickly, all while they were power washing right behind him. He gave zero cares about the loud noise! What more could you ask? 🤩
Stay tuned for more updates on this lovely fellow as he prepares for ! ❤️

KATHY’S CHAMP
6yr 15hh Mare
Kathy is just a stunning, nicely developed horse. She moves as pretty as she looks, and rides very nicely w/t/c. Easily gets both leads. She will ride English or western with a neck rein. Sound and up for any challenge! She really enjoys having a job.
Kathy has a lot of experience on trails, overnight camping and horse shows of all kind. She has won blue ribbons in hunter, equitation, and dressage classes, as well as money and buckles in games against horses of all breeds. She has sp*ed but only when asked.
She has not been hitched in a while, but was always nice to drive.
Kathy is looking for a new home because her current adopter’s health issues have left her unable to ride and she does not want to see her go to waste. Kathy sat for several months but stepped right back into work with no problems and is finishing up her refresher course.
Kathy’s only “vice” is she has strong heats. This does not affect her temperament to ride or handle, but she will try to lean on you when you press on her hindquarters, or pick up her back feet. She might also try to p*e on you if you’re messing around back there 😂 it is not malicious she is just feeling very fertile. Regumate helps with this. Personally, we don’t find the behavior too troublesome so she is currently not on anything, but if you don’t want to deal with that, regumate works wonders.
Would really love to see Kathy with someone who will get her out there showing as she competes very well in open breed competition and would be a great ambassador for the breed.
Available for in farmingdale NJ
She is ready to be your superstar 🤩

BLUEBIRD JESSE getting a little sunshine and grass break from stall rest. He is definitely improving in comfort a bit each day! ❤️
KATHY’S CHAMP is being a, well, champ! She is doing super well on her refresher under saddle after sitting several months due to her previous adopter’s health issues. She was lovely on her ride today! Kathy will be joining us soon at our main farm location so that potential adopters can come visit her 😁 you don’t wanna miss out on this special girl!
TWIN B EAGLE aka Big Eddie made it to his adoptive home out in Indiana! Best wishes for this new pair, he is a very special guy and we will all miss him here! ❤️
Beautiful KATHY’S CHAMP is quickly getting back into a routine after some time off due to her previous adopter’s health issues. Ground tying like a champ! She will be joining us at the main farm shortly as she looks for her next partner for adventures ❤️
CELESTIA A got her much needed feet trim today!! Her feet had not been trimmed in a LONG time due to her injury but thanks to Dr. Curtiss’s surgery, she has enough stability to hold weight on her injured leg! John Rispoli of East Coast Hoof & Wellness Center came out today to help Celestia get her feet in better shape to keep her healing! He added an eggbar shoe to the injured leg to keep her from toe flippi by and add more support and stability. With that, she was able to hold extra weight on that leg to trim her other feet, with a few breaks! She is one tough girlie and really cooperates with you. Just one of many reasons we had to give her a shot!
So thankful to everyone that has helped and continue to help give her a chance at life ❤️❤️
TROT TROT ALUMNI AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
TEXICAN N “Tex”
16yr 15.3hh gelding
Tex is an incredible horse. He won over $1million on the track and retired sound after aging out. He has clean legs, no injuries, and is sound for anything. He LOVES to work and is just all class.
Tex has had a good deal of retraining. He rides English or western, w/t/c and jumps. He has been on trail rides, had a rope tossed off him, and done pony club and some lessons. Most recently he has been working as an outriding horse at the meadows racetrack, but he when he is on the track he can’t understand that he’s no longer racing 😂 so is not suitable for that career. Otherwise, when not on a racetrack, he is very nice to ride!
Tex has excellent manners as well. He is a fancy guy and would be amazing in the show ring, or for just about anything. He’s incredibly brave, smart, and aims to please. His current adopter just wants him to have a career he can enjoy! Unfortunately she NEEDS an out riding horse so that is only reason he is up for adoption.
Tex is currently located in PA.
If you are interested in Tex, contact us! He is just the nicest horse 😁
NY WHITE SOX stubs in his adoptive home 😍
POV: You’re taking SHARK RIVER on her very first trail ride! 🤩
This girl had such a rough start to her life, it is so great to see her happy and thriving in her adoptive home. She’s come a long way! ❤️❤️
BLUEBIRD JESSE demands more hay cubes! 🤣🤣
Little Boom is doing great with his big boy manners and looking much healthier now that he’s been on a good worming and nutrition program for a few months 😍
If you are near Florida and have been considering adoption, we have great news as we will be sending some adoptable horses to a sattlelite farm in Florida! 🤩🎉 Our first pair will head south in mid June
CELESTIA A had her bandage changed today! While I don’t think her leg will ever look “normal” it definitely looks better than when she first arrived! She is almost back to her comfort levels when she was in the cast, so in another week or so we will try to trim her feet which hasn’t been done since her injury started 😳 it will be hard, but she is one tough cookie!!
Despite all her hardships, Celestia has been a great patient and has retained a bright, willing attitude throughout it all! She is definitely feeling less pain as she’s getting a little frisky 😂 she will go for her next check up in about a month! Can’t wait for the day she can run in the field pain free she really deserves it!! 🙏🏻❤️
SENOR MACRAY A getting a pedicure in his foster home, where he is participating in the Foster Trainer challenge! This poor guy had a couple abscesses pop but thanks to the great care from his foster mom Kaitlin and some new shoes he is feeling much better! ❤️
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION
KATHY’S CHAMP 15hh 6yr old mare
Kathy or “Iris” as her last adopter has called her is unfortunately available for adoption due to her adopter having serious health issues and has been unable to ride for several months. She would like to see her girl go back to having a fulfilling career.
Kathy is a gorgeous, well built mare who has been with us since she was 3 years old. She retired after a brief, untalented race career. Kathy has a great work ethic and loves having a job! She is a gorgeous mover and is well broke.
She rides English and western walk, trot, and canter with a neck rein as well. Her canter is stunning and she gets both leads easily. She has jumped a couple small jumps and has lots of experience at horse shows and trail rides. She has been overnight camping as well! She has shown English and western and is also very good at western games. She has sp*ed, but only when asked.
Kathy is a generally calm, non spooky horse. She has done some lessons and is fairly tolerant but not for a dead beginner. She also prefers riders under 165lbs as she is small herself.
Kathy has been out with geldings and mares. She can have strong heats, and while still good to handle and ride may try to lean on you if you touch her hind end or sq**rt at you 🤦🏼♂️ but does well on regumate. We have handled her just fine without, it just depends on your tolerance for hormones 😂
She is currently in millstone NJ and has not been worked for a few months due to adopters help. She will be coming back to our farm in Farmingdale Nj shortly to get back into full work and find her next fit!
If you are interested and would like to get on the list to see her, contact us at Trot Trot Standardbreds Adoption & Retraining Program!
She is a LOVELY horse and will do very well for someone!

TWIN B EAGLE “Big Eddie” showing off his new pole work skills! This guy just keeps getting better and better! An amazing horse available for #adoption 😁
A true STEADY EDDIE! 🤩 TWIN B EAGLE aka “Big Eddie” is big at 17.1hh, but don’t let that scare you! This 6 year old gelding is truly one of the kindest, quietest horses to come through here! He is a pleasure to have in the barn, with a fun, goofy personality but also has excellent manners. He’s a very friendly horse in turnout as well, causing no drama. He’s currently sharing a fenceline with a mare with no issues, and turned out with another gelding and a colt. He does enjoy someone who will play with him! Eddie has been a ✨ SUPERSTAR ✨ in his new career under saddle. Since day 1 he has just been so quiet, willing, and so so smart! He picks up new skills very quickly with a great attitude. He is definitely more woah than go, and nothing really bothers him: not running foals right next to him, ATVs, wildlife, having to leave his friends—he hacks along anywhere on the farm. Just can’t say enough nice things about this boy! He would be amazing in a dressage career with the way he holds himself, but would also suit trails or any other sort of primarily flatwork discipline—even a husband type horse! He has a healed and rehabbed knee fracture that he has been doing just fine working on with no maintenance. He could likely do some LIGHT jumping but may need maintenance for that down the line. This amazing gelding is going to make someone an amazing friend and partner and is available for #adoption
He’s a STEADY EDDIE for sure 🤣 TWIN B EAGLE aka “Big Eddie” is a gentle giant! This 6yr old gelding is 17.1hh! But don’t let that scare you, he is very kind and quiet to handle. Today was his very first ride and he was extremely agreeable and eager to please! He has a very calm demeanor, as you can tell by how he ignored the running child in the background 😂 We even rode Eddie to the back by the woods and he was super! A bunch of deer ran out at him and all he did was flinch a bit. Eddie is a very attractive horse and a nice mover as well! He has a rehabbed knee fracture but should be just fine for flatwork careers, possibly low level jumping as well with some maintenance if needed. He is a friendly horse that loves to play, and is currently turned out with another gelding and a yearling colt. Just can’t say enough nice things about him! Stay tuned for further updates as he is evaluated for #adoption!
CELESTIA A is home from the clinic! She came through her surgery very well. Her comfort levels are much improved. She will stand squarely on her leg and will also walk on it. It’s funny though, because she was on 3 legs so long she got really good at it so when she wants to get somewhere fast she will go back to hopping 😂 Celia will be on strict stall rest then I will bring her back to the clinic around May 15 to get check up x rays and a new cast put on. It will likely be 6-8 weeks before her joint finishes fusing, but then she will be much more comfortable. Keep your fingers crossed the rest of recovery goes well! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 Can’t thank everyone at the Hogan Equine Clinic enough for helping us give her a fighting chance at a happy life ❤️
CELESTIA A continues to make progress! Her vets are very pleased with her progress and she is maintaining a much improved comfort level. As long as she maintains this throughout the day, they will likely do surgery tomorrow and put screws in her ankle to further stabilize the joint. Keep sending her the good vibes!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻❤️
Great news from the clinic!! Celestia has responded incredibly well to her cast!! She is able to walk comfortably for the first time in months!! It brings me to tears 🥹 she is being a very good patient. She will remain in the cast for several days while they prepare her surgery plan. But this is a great sign as it shows her severe lameness is from joint instability which they can do quite a bit to fix! Keep the healing thoughts coming! 🤞🏻❤️
Here’s a short clip from CHASER HANOVER’s very first ride! As you can see he took to it like a pro 🤩 more videos coming of this stunning young gelding for #adoption ❤️
CHASER HANOVER has begun his evaluation! As you can see here, Chase has a calm, willing demeanor and really focuses on his work like a true professional 🤩 he is a very classy horse! Stay tuned for further updates as we progress to under saddle work!
SUCCESSION’s first time in the marathon cart in his adoptive home! Such a good boy! This young man has gone from racehorse, to riding horse, and now is learning to be a combined driving horse! Standardbreds are so versatile!
FALCON’S LUKE has been hard at work under saddle! This guy’s retraining has been going super well—he is a natural! Luke has recently started cantering with a rider and will do a few strides both leads! He is so calm and willing and a wonderful horse for #adoption! 🤩
#teamtrottrot ambassador LUCK N ROLL K getting ready for show season! Showing everyone how a #standardbred does it 😍
He’s real fancy 👀 an accomplished veteran on the racetrack, FALCON’S LUKE has stepped easily into his new chapter as a riding horse, showing some natural talent! What an incredible animal 😍
FALCON’S LUKE under saddle! So far this guy has been an absolute pleasure to ride! Calm, confident, and very willing. He’s a cute mover, too! Stay tuned for further updates and videos as he completes his evaluation for #adoption! 😍
OH SNAP took a spin western today! This is only her 4th ride ever and she has come along so much! Still figuring out her balance here and there as a young horse, but she is very smart and picks up new skills quickly. She has a great work ethic with a stellar attitude and focus especially for a young horse. Snappy is very calm and quiet, with comfy gaits, and often rides in just a halter! She is not a very spooky horse. At just 3yrs old with a chunky build and 14.2hh, Snappy is a great prospect for anything, but we think she could really excel in western dressage! An awesome filly for #adoption!
It’s official! BOLTMAN is now a riding horse! 🤩 He accepted a riders weight quite readily! Of course, he was a little nervous at first once things got moving, but no malice, and then he quickly settled and gained his confidence. He has a lovely stop! Stay tuned for more videos of this stunning prospect for #adoption!
