Second Chance Thoroughbreds We hand pick OTTBs who have either never or lightly raced and retired sound! Danielle and Bailey have competed in the South region up to the Preliminary level.
(45)

Second Chance Thoroughbreds was founded on a dream of Danielle Durette Tursky’s, after she fell in love with a thoroughbred named Bailey. Although he had never been to the track (not even bred to be a racehorse…), he had the spirit and competitiveness that drove them to success at eventing. Bailey is still as competitive as ever, and is the grandpa to all the young talent that comes through Second

Chance Thoroughbreds. We have a special passion for the breed here at SCT. Our goal is to take in the racing duds and give them an opportunity to learn a new career, and while we specialize in eventing, we will cater to each horse’s strength be it dressage, hunter/jumper, even trail riding. We give them a new focus, away from the busy routine of racing to a more relaxed atmosphere. They have time to learn to be a horse again, turned out to pasture, while being handled on a regular basis. These horses are restarted from groundwork to riding and even showing! Danielle runs her farm Cotton Grove Rd in East Jackson, TN. Along with retraining the thoroughbreds, they plan to board and teach lessons, specializing and dressage and eventing. If you would like to schedule a viewing please call Danielle directly at 731-234-7214. Also taking a few select horses in on consignment and training.

Most riders have some
Varying degree of hypermobility so the knee pinching is due to a proprioception response to have some sense of control of the body. Loose hips get tight due to muscle spasming around loose ligaments.. and a brain that isn’t connecting the source of the problem and just winging it into compensation.

And a lack of instruction of the human body (this goes even back to school days) and what each muscle should feel like it’s doing.

Such a grown up these days and really loving his job!!

Im sorry Charlotte Dujardin - we have all been in your shoes in some shape or form. I appreciate and commend you for your apology but just know
You should be there performing in those
Olympics and not reading comments of the internet trolls who do worse harm than good

4 days, 4 years, 4 decades… the time between doesn’t matter… it’s the fact that EVERY.SINGLE.HUMAN HAS done something out of frustration, or a moment of pressure to perform or succeed.

As a general rule of growth - We evolve over time into more wise versions of ourselves as we pick up new and more beneficial tools for our toolbox.

How can one feel confident to EVER put themselves out there on the public spectrum ever again without the anxiety and paranoia of thoughts that any negative moment from their past will come out to destroy all the hopes and dreams that had finally become reality?

What’s the point? What is the actual point to try when it’s a lose lose situation. No one is innocent from being human.

It’s the humans who try to grow the hardest and who PUT their life out there to help mentor are selfless enough to wish for their passion to continue in other generations and pay it forward that get raked over the coals.

Are we really trying to shift to a selfish, self
Centered private sneaky mode of operations to slide into the finish line unscathed?

I’m so glad I just realized my Olympic dreams were a bunch of made up fairyland idealized thoughts I created as a child based on what I thought was pure happiness and an ultimate goal.

16.3/17h 9yr unraced tb gelding. Green but figuring it out well. Was a family pet with out a career goal… got accepted to college and off he went to Second Chance Thoroughbreds in Jackson TN.. he’s been learning all the confident things to do to win over the humans. He’s most recently gotten an A++ on his lead performance in “Le Jump chute”! He likes good meals, not into fast food, but more like trendy cafe, definitely doesn’t need 5* bougee chef’s table dining. His clothing requirements are pretty basic saddle pad and snaffle type. He’s not in any fraternities and he treats all social classes the same, even ponies. His tuition costs about upperish 4s… would like to sign up for next semester at a new school!!
