We currently have two stunning young geldings available for on site half or full lease! 📣📣

Phoenix Rising. 4 year old 17hh American Warmblood gelding. Excellent ground manners with an excellent disposition and quiet demeanor. Amateur friendly ride with more woah than go. Excellent opportunity for someone with a champagne taste that doesn’t have the budget to purchase.

Jinxed. 5 year old 16.1 Imported tb gelding who was just approved in the blue book by the American Warmblood Association based on conformation and movement. This boy will turn heads wherever you go, he really has a presence about him I can’t even describe in words. Not for a timid or nervous rider, he is a lot of horse and can be intimidating until you get to know him. Absolutely no dangerous behaviors and no rear or buck. He is simply one of the most athletic horses I’ve had, has all the qualities I look for in an upper level horse. These qualities can be intimidating for some, but if you have big goals to jump the bigger tracks one day without the budget to match this is your guy.

Looking for the right individuals to help bring these guys along under our guidance while we focus on our string of sale horses. They are much too nice to continue sitting in the back burner!

One thing about me, I love a good Warmblood imposter🤩 Meet “Mana Kai” whose name translates to spirit of the ocean in Hawaiian language. Kai is a 4 year old massive bodied 16.2 OTTB gelding by Chitu. Lightly raced with only 4 starts retired from racing early this year and has been enjoying some let down time for the last few months before being professionally restarted. This is a horse I personally broke myself prior to his racing career and I’m so excited to have him back with me to begin his second career. That being said, he has an excellent foundation for his age with no spooky behavior, buck or rear and will be an easy restart for a junior or amateur working with a trainer. He has had a handful of rides off the track making him RRP eligible while we focus on getting him back in shape from his layup period. Excellent ground manners, fantastic shipper. Retired sound and UTD on everything. We did notice some slight effusion on the left knee that was x rayed before he was started back undersaddle and I’m happy to share those with serious inquiries. He was positive on only that flexion and may be one that requires maintenance down the road. He is sound with no maintenance currently. Not only does this boy physically have the warmblood look, but his big lofty step and presence undersaddle are very impressive for one so recently off the track. I will be extremely picky about who is lucky enough to end up with this guy and I cannot wait to see his progression in the years to come.

✨Main Power✨

First crop by triple crown winner Justify! Main Power is a 4 year old unraced 15.3hh gelding by Justify out of a Galileo (IRE) mare. His pedigree is simple to die for as a sport horse. He is extremely kind on the ground and very laid back under saddle. No vices and UTD on everything. Retired from race training 30 days ago and currently has two post track rides. While he is still very green he has an excellent demeanor and will be an ammy or junior friendly restart. This boy would do best with someone willing to take their time to develop him and not be in a rush since he still deserves some more let down time coming off the track less than a month ago. He was gelded this earlier this year and can still be a bit mouthy on the ground but never in a mean way. I really see him growing out of that once he’s had more time to realize he’s no longer a c**t. He did retire with a previous splint fracture on his left front and has your typical low heels coming off the track. I think he will make someone that isnt afraid to give him more letdown time such a lovely partner in the long run. He really aims to please and shows so much potential.

🍯Meet Honey!🍯

Here comes honey is a 11 year old 15.3 thoroughbred mare by here comes Ben. Honey has been off the track a few years now and has an extensive dressage and low level eventing background. Great in turnout with others and extremely kind in the barn. No old injuries, UTD and barefoot! Super simple and straightforward on the flat, great changes and extremely in tune with her rider and responsive. This mare always aims to please and really deserves her own person or confident junior to build a long term relationship with. I find that so many people look passed a good mare because of the few grouchy stereotypes, but this girl has one of the sweetest personality and really tries her best everytime you swing a leg over. Honey competed in the North American Online Dressage Champion scoring in Intro B(71.25%), Intro C(70%) and Dressage Seat Eq Intro(70%). She has been slowly re-introduced over fences after focusing mainly on dressage with her current owner. Off property she was extremely brave and did not offer to put a foot out of place the whole time, hoped off the trailer and went straight to work. Honey would be best suited for a confident rider over fences, she can on the forward side the last few strides and comes right back on the landing side which I always appreciate.

Excited to welcome “Quotation Marks” to our string! Lovely 3 year old 15.3 unraced gelding by Kittens Joy. Attention Hunter queens! This laid back boy would dominate in the thoroughbred hunters. Excellent head on his shoulders and an absolute gentleman in the barn and undersaddle. Quotations sold for 170k as a yearling with an excellent pedigree and conformation. However going fast just isnt in his agenda… want to walk around on the buckle alone or in company? Hes your guy. Want to enjoy a thoroughbred but aren’t interested in being bucked off or ran off with? He’s your guy. Don’t let his size fool you, this chunk takes up a lot of leg! This horse helped me teach my coworker how to gallop around the track and gain confidence on racehorses. Always aims to please and never puts a foot out of place. Excellent shipper and UTD on everything. Retired sound with clean legs and no old injuries.

Very excited to add this boy to our string! Welcome “Murphy” 3 year old 15.3 gelding by Maclean Music out of an AP Indy mare. Murphy had a serious case of the slows and has spent his short lived race training career day dreaming of doing anything other than going fast. He is unraced, but did have one published work so he is RRP Eligible. Sound with no old injuries or vices. Murphy has really adapted to his new sport horse job, he is slowly learning how to carry himself correctly and has such a lovely way of traveling undersaddle. I could really see this handsome boy going in any direction with the right program. His first ride off the track he easily picked up both leads without a second thought, like this was something he’s been waiting for! Excellent shipper, and very easy keeper. Murphy would do best in a professional program to continue his education. That being said, I think he would be great with a confident junior or ammy looking for a thoroughbred without the motor or anxious tendency’s that comes along with so many of them in the early stages off the track. Asking mid fours to an approved home. PPE welcome at buyers expense. Located in Ocala, FL.

Attention Juniors and Amateurs‼️

Meet Tiz Zen!
🐴🥇 2019 TB Mare by Tiznow registered USEF
🐴 🥇 currently lives outside 24/7 barefoot, UTD on everything, simple feeding program, no prep, no mess, no fuss
🐴🥇 in your pocket, sweet as they come, wants a human to love on and be loved on by
🐴🥇 will make one HELL of a children’s hunter, but has the brains and aptitude to head in other directions if you’d like. But if you are looking for SAFE and KID-FRIENDLY, she’s here and she’s young...this is the one your kiddo can truly GROW WITH
🐴🥇 Low Fives and we have time. So, do not tire kick, do not scoff, do not bother if you “have soapbox will travel” when it comes to a TB.
We will happily continue to add to her record. Low Fives absolutely matches her talent, promise, and safety features.

This mare will hop right onto your trailer with NO shoes on (was she born in a barn?!) and then unload the day of a show and refuse your appetizers of perfect prep, and your carefully planned pre-show lunging activity, simply because she quote, “doesn’t need all that.”
I’m sorry, what?! Doesn’t she KNOW that all the cool kids have a smudge of perfect prep on their Tailoreds while being slightly dizzy from endless lunge circles? UGH.

AHHHHHH-PARE-ANT-LEEEE no one ever taught her how to actually be a mare
🧨 she just went and completed her first horse show without throwing one blessed fit?? Know your role lady.
🧨 tractor drove by while she was on the rail-NADDA CARES GIVEN
🧨 Her division’s arena was swapped last minute and she went in and jumped all brand new
jumps she’d never seen that she wasn’t able to warm-up over the day before?-THE NERVE
🧨 Had the AUDACITY to get her lead changes when she didn’t get her landing lead-SHE’S FOUR-SHE NEEDS TO ACT HER DANG AGE
🧨 Let the reckless human on her back ride her around on the buckle and do a “look Ma! No Hands! (Annnnd no stirrups) photo outside the arena before her first course?-Doesn’t she know people are watching and this is a gossipy AF sport?! Manners!
DO NOT BUY THIS MARE
🙅 🙅 🙅 If you DO NOT want to actually enjoy riding and showing, or want to see your kiddo,
nervous ammy, or client HAPPY. Like ALLL THE TIME.
🙅🙅🙅If you enjoy spending gajillions of dollars each month on complicated maintenance, supplement cups and baggies galore, and massive amounts of grain and hay.
🙅🙅🙅if you aren’t ready to get going, glowing, and growing with your next partner TAH- NOW
🙅🙅🙅if you prefer to be scared s***less every time you approach a fence, rather than confident and part of a partnership.
🙅🙅🙅if you want to pay imported warmblood for a lot less talent and athleticism on a horse a few years older, that’s gonna need at least 5 trainer rides a week.
🙅 🙅 🙅 If you’re one of those “I’d rather pay a quite a bit more once her show record is well and established” people (instant gratification is like...so dumb, right?)

You’re proudly showing off your new off-track prospect to your barn bestie as he’s settling into his new stall at home. “Where did you rescue him from?” she asks eagerly.

How you respond to this (common) question depends on several factors involved with your horse purchasing or adoption process, but chances are, your horse was not a true rescue, and incorrectly calling him a rescue belies an entire industry dedicated to breeding, raising and producing him for the racetrack. Let’s examine this issue closer in the Equestrian Industry track of our OTTB 101 education section!

Sold⚜️Patisserie⚜️

Coming 3 year old 16.2 unraced gelding by City of light. Patisserie showed absolutely no interest in going anywhere quick on the track, but did train so he is RRP Eligible! Clean legs with no old injuries. Excellent ground manners for his age and no vices. Undersaddle he is definitely a leg ride with more woah than go, unfortunate for his connections after spending almost six figures on him, but he will be such a lovely show horse with the right program to continue his education. He is currently barefoot in the videos but will be shod upfront next cycle as he gets back into a regular program. Super easy keeper and UTD on everything. We have taken him over a handful of small xrails and he is extremely willing, maintains his pace before and after the jump and always gives 110%. With him being so young we aren’t going drill him over fences, please do not ask for additional jumping videos. Will increase with more mileage. Vet checks are always welcome, located in Ocala, FL. Asking mid fours to an approved home.

Sold. Cash it

4 year old 16.3 gelding by Upstart. Lightly raced and ready for a new career. RRP Eligible and UTD on everything. “Cash” is a lovely type that everyone wants to have in their barn. I restart so many TB’s every year and I can confidently say he is the quietest most laid back 4 year old I’ve had. He would make a junior or amateur a great first project horse or addition to a trainers lesson or IEA program. He even taught a walk trot lesson with one of my students his first week being restarted. This is my second Upstart baby and they really have the most amazing brain, my first one has gone on to upper level cross country events being the highest placed TB, but can also double as a kids short stirrup mount. I have nothing but good things to say about this sire! Cash is currently barefoot after having his shoes pulled when he retired from racing in July. He is currently a bit tender footed with this recent change but a good horsemen should have no problem seeing passed that. Front shoes would be a quick fix if you’re wanting to put him in a regular program right away but he will remain barefoot with me while he’s not in regular work. He is the same horse whether he’s ridden regularly or sits for a week. Very clean tight legs with just very minimal rounding on his lf ankle, looks like he was almost starting to develop a small osslet on it but it was assessed and rested before it truly developed. He has no current maintenance or limitations. Excellent ground manners but can be a little nippy at times, nothing is ever in a mean way it’s just him showing his age. Ready to continue his education and finish your way!

Located in Ocala, Fl. Approved homes only. Asking low four figures but would entertain on site lease options as well as I’d love to keep this boy around.

4 year old 16hh thoroughbred gelding by Tiznow. Fowler is one of the kindest horses I’ve worked with and I will be extremely picky about who ends up with him, he really makes me wish I was able to add another personal horse to my string but unfortunately that’s out of the question for me right now.

But seriously, this is the type of horse I have people asking me for constantly!

Acting Special “Aspen” 3 year old 17.1 unraced gelding. He had a few published works on the track so he is RRP Eligible. But simply showed no interest in racing. He comes from excellent connections that just wanted him to have a new career doing something he actually enjoys. Does best in a regular program with a confident rider. While he’s extremely well behaved for his age, he is still a 3 year old 17.1 hand thoroughbred. He needs a confident rider to continue his education. Very laid back undersaddle, goes in a snaffle and spur. Lovely way of going, I could see this guy going in any direction. Same horse on and off property. I’m always grateful for the young horses that can step off the trailer and go in a new ring without spooking in every corner or at every jump. Retired sound with clean legs. Has some scars on his hind legs from being cast on a fence but they are purely cosmetic. Excellent ground manners for his age but thinks everything around him needs to go in his mouth. Doesn’t have a mean bone in him but if your arm is in range and you’re not paying attention? He’s taking a nibble. No other vices. UTD on everything. Reduced to make room! Recent vetting showed a tie back surgery. Makes no noise whatsoever and will not affect him in a career that isn’t racing or 5 star cross country. Just one of those things that’s very common for horses this size. No limitations in any hunter/jumper discipline.

Asking high 4,s to approved home. Vet checks welcome at buyers expense. Located in Ocala Fl. Price to increase with show miles.

Off the market*
Rambo “Midnight Mass”
USEF # 5830732

13 year old 14.3 welsh/thoroughbred gelding with unknown breeding. Rambo was rescued out of a very bad situation with 15 other abandoned and starved horses last year. He was incredibly blessed to make it out with no major health issues as some of his friends weren’t so lucky. We have gotten him back to great health, and UTD on all shots, Coggins, dentals and farrier over the last 7 months. Extremely quiet undersaddle and in the barn. No spook or vices. He has packed around beginners but can also be forward and infront of your leg when asked. He has shown at WEC Ocala for his first (known) show experience and couldn’t have been better. Marched in every ring without a second thought at the biggest venue in the country. Great in busy schooling areas and walks on the buckle with tractors passing by. Since he is slowly getting back in shape we have not drilled him over fences. He has been over a handful of cross rails and is very willing. 3 lovely gates with a lead change in both directions.
He’s been on the back burner for the 2 months since I’ve been so busy with work but is not one that needs to get out everyday. I’d love to see him with a kid that will spend all day loving on him. He deserves the absolute best after everything he’s been through.

Just requires front shoes, Recent X-rays available for serious buyers. Available in Ocala FL. Asking mid fours to an excellent FOREVER home. Pm for additional information.

⚜️Foggy⚜️

3 year old 17hh unraced liver Chestnut gelding. RRP eligible with two published works. Foggy retired sound with no old injuries or vices. He simply showed no talent or interest on the track. His connections wanted him to have a different career path instead of pushing him to make a race. This horse is absolutely massive for his age with with such good bone and muscle tone. Everyone tells me they simply cannot believe he is a thoroughbred. Because of that we have been taking things slow and have not drilled him over fences. He needs the right person to continue bringing him along and I will be very picky about who he ends up with. He has so much potential to be an upper level horse. Currently at WEC Ocala getting his first show experience. Goes in a snaffle with a spur. Extremely well mannered undersaddle for his age, W/T/C picking up both leads with a lead change. Good ground manners and a goofy playful personality. Gets along with others in turnout, however my gelding picks on him so he’s currently on solo turnout. He hasn’t realized he’s twice the size of him yet. He is currently in front shoes and UTD on all vaccines, dentals and coggins. He will be campaigning at WEC Jan 2-8th, if you’d like to come try him while we’re still there please send me a PM. Located in Ocala, Fl.
