How cute is this guy 🤩🤩 4yr old 16 hand gelding by American Freedom X Proud Citizen. He sold for $130k as a 2yr old but didn't do too well in his 6 attempts on the track and was unplaced in all starts. This guy is smart and talented and could be anything in his next career. Full video will be up later this week but send us a message if you want to see more and I can send longer video 😍
This guy checks the boxes of what most people ask for!
Tall: 17.2
Bay gelding: ✅️ Super shiny too!
Chrome: 3 socks and a star and tiny stripe
Flashy: Yes, 3 nice gaits already right off the track!
Green but safe: Biggie has about 6 rides off the track so far, he walk/trot/canters nicely with good steering and breaks.
No vices: None, sweet guy who stands perfectly in the cross ties and for the farrier.
Budget friendly: Yes, mid 4s.
I know we won't get to keep him long so we're trying not to get too attached to him!
New jumping video of Kadar! Our super adorable Arabian. He's a talented and super willing guy! He just learned his changes a couple rides ago and he's so smart! 😍🤩😍🤩
New jumping video of Frasard! Frasard is really hoping to find his own person! He is talented, sweet and a little quirky. He got tried by a kid last week and he absolutely loved her and we hope they come back for him but we have to keep our options open of course. He is 7yrs old, imported from the UK. Good sized thicker built 16.2 hands.

Legend 🥰🥰 Super horse for someone looking for a quality warmblood on a budget. Currently only t.w.e.n.t.y.k but will increase with show experience. No tire kickers please!
Legend jumping today. This is how easy he is with a new rider. Calm, steady, willing and also talented. Legend is a 5yr old westfalen gelding. He is t.w.e.n.t.y.k until he goes to his first show next weekend!
Kid out for a hack 🥰 The first few times we took Kid out on the trails she was jiggy and nervous so we told people she may not make a great trail horse. Now after a few more months of training she goes out on the buckle and is very safe around vehicles and machines (today we passed a Bobcat digging, a tractor pulling a big trailer, loud sprinkers, some other farm vehicles and yearlings running in their pasture). She is available for adoption. She could go in any direction but we don't see her as an upper level prospect but perfect hobby horse.

Available! Legend is a 5yr old 16.1 Westfalen gelding (Landkönig bloodlines). Super sweet and willing personality. Loves attention and anyone can ride him. Big mover and very safe! Barefoot and easy keeper. Low 5 figures. Please serious inquiries only!
First ride off the track for Percolate 🥰
I'm sharing this because I have seen some negative posts about TBs lately.
One person said she is used to falling off because she rides green OTTBs...ok, not true. I have fallen off ONE thoroughbred in my entire career of restarting OTTBs. They are used to being ridden since they are little babies. In my limited experience of restarting over 150 TBs, they are not usually good at bucking, I've seen less than 5 rear, maybe two have bolted, two chestnut geldings have kicked out at leg pressure (sorry boys but I'm just stating my experience, love you!). But overall; they are all so willing and listen to their riders better than most young horses of other breeds. And trust me, I love my warmbloods 🥰
The other day, I saw another post where someone lost their TB to colic, and stated that TBs come with a lot of issues. I feel super bad their horse died; colic is no joke and I lost my very special mare on the table during colic surgery, she was a warmblood. TBs are not more prone to colic than any other breed. Again, in my limited career, I've taken 3 very well bred warmbloods to the hospital for colic, and zero of the mild colics presented in any TB that's come through the barn needed more than pain meds or at most a quick visit from the vet. Losing a horse to sudden colic is beyond sad, so again, I'm so sorry.
Thoroughbreds are extremely willing creatures in my experience. They only ever have issues if they get scared or extremely confused, or their attempt to show pain is ignored/punished. Other than that, they are just there to please whoever is willing to give them a chance. They come in all shapes, sizes, temperaments, and so on, so you cannot compare them, each one is individual and you have to work with what you have!
I understand this video is pretty boring and nothing special at all, but that is how a ride on a brand new horse should be. Keep it short and sweet, see if they respond to leg and steering and if the br
Always good vibes with Spanglish 👑
A little jumping video of our adorable Arabian gelding! Dressage video coming soon. Kadar is 9yrs old and 15.3 hands 🥰
Len 🤩 Len is working on rhythm, straightness, bending and calm and easy transitions. He's a smart cookie! Big mover and naturally very balanced. He's a super nice prospect!
Len is 5yrs old, 16.2 hands.
The cutest Sage out and about. Sage is available for adoption. She is about 15yrs old and 14.1 hands and very sweet! She is also very cute over fences and has been started on barrels as well. Her rider loves to jump her bareback in a halter as well.
Kid today 🥰 Kid is a 6yr old 16.2 mare that raced only 4 times and didn't hit the board. She retired sound and has been with us for several months. She has very comfy gaits and is very willing and not reactive or spooky. She is not the fanciest horse in the barn but she is very special and is looking for a great home. She has been working on basic dressage and she jumps small courses with no issues. Right lead canter has been a little bit of a struggle for her but look at her go! Full video from today is available to serius parties :)
This is how quick and easy it is to clean our stalls! 2min30sec 💪 We are still looking for volunteers to help in the morning or afternoon with stalls, haynets, feeding and anything else you want to help out with. We currently have 11 OTTBs in our care. We are located at the most gorgeous and peaceful farm. DM us if interested!

Spanglish is still available! She had a flawless vet check a couple weeks ago but adopter didn't follow through. She is just so lovely and we see her as an upper level jumper or eventing prospect. Whoever gets her will be super lucky!
Rakassah's first trail ride. She is an adorable and tiny 15.2 6yr old mare, imported from Ireland and retired just a couple months ago after winning nearly $200k on the track. She is very sweet and is coming along nicely in her training.
Spanglish 🥰 #marecrushmonday
She's just such a nice mare! She's so sweet and willing to learn anything. She's always happy and sends out good vibes to everyone around her. Whoever adopts her will be super lucky!
Tippy settling into herself more and more each ride. She's been in training for barely two weeks. Posting this for those who love big sweet mares 😍
Rex recently started training and is a super flashy 4yr old gelding. Only one start on the track for him. He has a[n ugly] scar on his shoulder and doesn't have the straightest legs. While he is sound we don't think he's suited for upper level work 🙂 Keep him in mind if looking for a lower level horse or trail horse. He is very sweet and well mannered on the ground. He could also use a sponsor to help with his costs while he continues training since his adoption fee will be very low 🩷
