The ground is really wet because we got a lot of rain last night, but that's certainly not preventing the mares from fully relaxing on an overcast day.

There are FOUR new mares on the Mareworthy Match website. Have you seen them? They're not retired broodmares, but the Mareworthy Match site is for ALL Thoroughbred mares regardless of their breeding or racing career status.

Mona Again is one of the mares. She is in California with Win Place Home, Inc (also Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance accredited and a recipient of a 2025 Thoroughbred Charities of America (TCA) grant)

Check her out at https://mareworthymatch.com/mare/mona-again

We built a brand new tool, and we are SUPER excited about it!!!

We will be adding all our mares to either the listings or the "We Are Watching" page in the couple of days, but we'd love your feedback about the site in the meantime.

Unbridled Class made it safely to her new home in Maryland and already found the mud.

Kathy reports, "She’s been super sweet and loving with all of us. And she’s definitely a grey because she’s been outside for about 3 hours and the first thing she did was find the mud." 🤣

We're excited to follow along on the next chapter for Kathy and Unbridled Class.

Another success story!

We were onsite at Kismet Thoroughbred Farm this morning when Unbridled Class stepped into her box stall on the Lake Horse Transportation trailer and headed to her new home in Maryland. She's in great hands with Lake.

This beautiful mare is joining a wonderful repeat adopter — our amazing board member, Kathy Goodman. Kathy already has Baltimore Babe, Multitasker, and Stormy Sky… but she was missing a gray. 😁

Did you know Unbridled Class during her racing career?

She’s a 10-year-old Indiana-bred mare who earned $481,229 and later produced three foals. After dealing with some pregnancy complications the last couple of seasons, her owners made the responsible decision to retire her from breeding. We’re grateful to Kismet Thoroughbred Farm for reaching out so we could help their clients place her safely.

And even though Unbridled Class never stepped foot on our farm, she still transitions with the full protection of our adoption agreement and lifetime follow-up. Direct placements like this reduce stress for the mare by eliminating an extra move — and they allow us to help more mares even when our farm is full.

We just had a wonderful phone conversation with the farm who purchased Alpha Centauri at the Keeneland sale last week 💜 They're committed to giving her a safe retirement after she foals.

Yesterday we featured the story of Stowaway Lass. Which mare should we introduce next?

Our mares LOVE hay deliveries, but our bank account hates them.

In the winter we will go through around 10 bales of hay a day which is the equivalent of around $120 per day or $3,600 per month.

Meet Stowaway Lass, the youngest (and only non-Thoroughbred!) member of the Mareworthy herd.

Lass’s story began long before she was born. Her dam, Vee, was rescued from a kill pen in the summer of 2023—and during her intake exam, we discovered she was already carrying a foal. Our partners at Horse Husband Stables welcomed Vee into their herd of pregnant mares, and on February 23, 2024, Stowaway Lass arrived safely.

Thanks to genetic testing, we now know Lass is half Appaloosa, and you can already spot the early signs—freckled lips, striped hooves, and the promise of roaning as she grows.

One of our favorite parts of her story is the support from Vee’s former racing connections, the Masry family of Westlake Racing Stables. Even after years apart, they stepped right back into her life and now help support both mare and foal. They even hosted a Breeders’ Cup fundraiser for Mareworthy with Vee’s last jockey, last trainer, and our team all together in one room. ❤️

Today, Lass is living with her babysitter, Northern Deputy—the oldest mare in our herd—as she grows up, gains confidence, and prepares to start training this winter or early spring. She’ll be available for adoption once she’s under saddle.
