Our sole focus at Second Wind is not just finding any suitable home for OTTBs, but to find a home where each horse will thrive and grow with its rider.
Anyone can take horses and just sell them, but we pride ourselves in playing great "matchmakers".
We want to ensure that each horse we place/sell, is going to excel in that home. We like to match personalities and abilities of the horse to the rider. We feel that this will ensure the best partnership and a lasting home for our OTTBs. If that means a horse stays with us for awhile - then so be it, we are in the market of making matches and lasting partnerships rather than a buck in the pocket.
We also pride ourselves in our method of pricing; making good, sane, healthy horses affordable to the general public.
Our horses come directly off the track in most instances and will get a full evaluation while with us to gauge level of ability, soundness, and overall disposition. While we typically will put an initial ride (or two) on a horse before listing, some may stay with us for awhile to get more rides and even potential show outings under their belt. We do, however, generally like to keep post track rides low as to ensure eligibility for potential RRP showing.
Brooke and I look forward to helping you find your best match in your next partner!
