"A thoroughbred is a horseman’s horse. They can be reactive and sensitive. They require consistency and patience. They will make you painfully aware of your shortcomings.
A thoroughbred will also make you realize your strengths. When properly prepared, they will outrun and out-try all the competition. They will give you every ounce of their big hearts.
So, if your horse is spooky, skinny, flighty, or crazy, it’s not because your horse is a thoroughbred. It is simply your thoroughbred calling upon you to be the Horseman he needs you to be.”
Author Kate Parsons written for The Western Thoroughbred.

And the best for that was D. Wayne Lukas.

I will be keeping his family in my heart during this difficult time and hope they take comfort in knowing how many lives D. Wayne touched.
Wayne Lukas is more than just a legendary name in Thoroughbred racing, he is an icon whose impact on this sport spans generations.

When it comes to D. Wayne Lukas, the best two words we can say are 'Thank you'.

First show for stakes winner Flying Emperor and second show for Jinxed are in the books! I really admire the bravery these OTTB’s exhibit in new environments. These boys confidently marched around the ring and secured some good ribbons out of 8/9 entries.

3 year 16.3hh (and growing) lightly raced gelding by Audible out of a Songandaprayer mare. This handsome boy last raced on 4/27/25. After 4 disappointing starts his connections felt racing was not the career path he saw for himself. Very classic thoroughbred build that I love for a 3 ring type of horse. I cannot wait to see this horse a year from now. I expect him to mature to 17hh and really fill out beautifully once he looses that racing fitness and learns how to travel round to build up his neck and top line. He is currently shod up front and had his first ride off the track without racing plates behind. Retired with clean legs and no prior injuries. RRP Eligible and UTD on all blacksmith, coggins, vaccines and dentals. Stands great for vet and farrier, very well behaved shipper and gets along with others in turnout. No vices in the barn or undersaddle. Final is very well mannered undersaddle for a young 3 year old, he is suitable for an amateur or junior rider working with a trainer to develop in the hunter jumper or eventing rings. Picks up both leads and offers a lead change when asked. He has been introduced to ground poles and small x rails and was extremely willing. Since he was so well behaved in his first ride off the track we plan to let him enjoy his let down time from racing a bit longer and get to be a horse again until he finds his forever person.

13 year old 17hh gelding by Into Mischief. Currently schooling 2’6 and 2’9 courses with a lead change. Lovely way of going on the flat and requires no prep off property. Very light in your hands, adjustable over fences and has such a smooth canter that will get you noticed in any ring.

I have two lovely 5 year old American Warmblood geldings in Ocala that l'd like to find the right person to do a free onsite care lease to help bring them along. Off property will not be considered. I'd love to find someone confident with youngsters that could come out at least 3 or 4 days per week to keep them in a decent program when I can't fit anymore rides in that day. Personal horses always get put on the back burner when I get busy and I hate to see them sitting!

2019 16.3 Gelding by Carpe Diem out of a More Than Ready mare. Retired from racing in 2024 with only 7 starts. RRP eligible. He has been with us since October last year getting some let down time and I’ve quite honestly been in no rush to place him because I absolutely adore this horse. I was lucky enough to get to ride him regularly as a racehorse, he’s been a barn favorite on and off the track, I jokingly call him “dibs” because that’s all I said to the racing connections walking home from the track after our first ride together. Even with only a handful of rides off the track, he has such a lovely way of going. He is soft in your hands, well balanced and so classy in new or spooky environments. Very well traveled for his age as he spent the summers racing in Canada and winters being a Florida snow bird before retirement. He retired with a small bow on his left front tendon and a prior surgery on his right front ankle. Both have been fully rehabbed and he is cleared to have a jumping second career with no current maintenance. He is barefoot, super easy keeper, UTD, superb ground manners, excellent traveler, and gets along with other geldings in turnout. Lightly restarted over small fences.

Personally, this conformation picture just screams “Paint me like one of your French girls.”🎨🎨

Meet Apex! I think someone needs to take the opportunity to make his show name “Among Us” because he is certainly a warmblood imposter among us at Oakmont Thoroughbreds. He is four year old 17.1 gelding by Curlin out of a Looking at Lucky mare. Retired sound from racing after one unsuccessful start in Canada. Exceptional conformation with the pedigree to match. It’s no surprise he was a mid six figure yearling. Has been properly let down since october and lightly restarted. RRP Eligible and UTD on everything. Clean legs with very mild shin profiles that cold, set and just cosmetic. Superb ground manners and a total sweetheart in the barn and undersaddle. Great in turnout with other horses, jumps right on the trailer and not spooky in new environments. Very well traveled for his age with a brain everyone looks for in a young horse. Apex shows great potential as a three ring type and certainly quiet enough for the hunter ring. Right now he’s had a week restarted undersaddle and just focusing on the basics of learning to be ridden from back to front, straightness down the long side and shaping his turns. Super willing to pick up both leads and offers a lead change. Big lofty canter that I could personally watch for days, and is going to bring attention to any ring once he has some more polished and fine tuning. Definitely a more leg ride type but has some adjustments when asked. Amateur friendly.

2016 16.3 OTTB gelding by Gio Ponti. “Oliver” Retired sound after a very impressive racing career across the US and Canada. Earning well over half a million in purse earnings and a graded stakes winner, this wonderful boy shows so much potential in a second career. He is RRP Eligible and I’d love to make a deal work for someone looking for their next thoroughbred makeover mount. I can guarantee you will be on one of the nicest racehorses there that will certainly bring a lot of attention! Oliver has been lightly restarted after a well earned vacation post racing. He is currently turnout out overnight with 3 other geldings, he’s made it very clear to them that he is quiet a big deal and he should be respected. We like to say he’s the king of that paddock. (he’s earned that title with those stats) because he is top of the pecking order. UTD on all coggins, vaccines and goes in standard front shoes and is barefoot behind with no current maitnence. Excellent traveler, cross ties and great for vet and farrier. Oliver is very well behaved undersaddle and has never offered a buck, rear or spook. He would do best with a quiet and patient rider as he can be a little anxious at times when he doesn’t understand what’s being asked of him. He really thrives with kindness and patience on the ground and undersaddle while he transitions from a very long and successful racing career. Since being restarted he has shown three lovely uphill gates, offers a lead change in both directions and has been extremely willing over fences. I adored getting to gallop this horse durning his racing career and I’m so excited to see him thrive in his next adventure.
