Mr. Hopps, 4 year old, 16.1h chestnut gelding

Tall and elegant, Mr. Hopps just looks like a show or event horse.  He has a nice uphill build and is a nice mover. He has an excellent pedigree for sport/jumping. He is by Pleasant Tap, who is a son of Pleasant Colony, from the His Majesty/Ribot line. Pleasant Tap’s dam is by Stage Door Johnny, a son of Prince John.  Mr. Hopps’ dam brings in Bold Ruler close up. No Storm Cat in his pedigree at all.  He was very quiet for all his photos and politely took our mints. Lots of potential here.

Lady Lorna, 5 year old, 15.1-15.2 bay filly: Now at FLTAP

The trainer says this pretty girl will do whatever you ask. Her groom (who adores her) says she’s not afraid of anything, is very sweet to handle outside of her stall, good to ride and really likes women. We watched them cuddling. She is such an unusual color, almost a buckskin with a great quarter horse build. She is beautifully bred by Belong to Me out of a Capetown mare. The trainer said she has just too many horses this year and Lorna just never got started so they would like to find her a new home.  They have had her since she was weanling so you can get all her history. Trainer says she tends to be territorial in her stall so she would need an experienced handler. She is sound with no vices.

Loopy de Loop, 8 year old, 15.3h chestnut gelding

A trainer favorite, this flashy guy is ready to retire from the track. He’s been off from racing for about a month now. Described by his trainer as solid, sweet and easy to handle, just seeing the pictures of him with her daughter says it all. We can verify he was was very quiet for his pictures that involved a lot of fussing over him and mints galore. He recently developed paralysis of his left flap this year so the decision was made to move him on to a new career that is less strenuous than racing. Loopy’s trainer says he is otherwise sound and has no vices, and we observed that his legs are clean. He tracks right up at the walk, and has a great chest, nice solid feet and has been trail ridden back at the farm. Come out to see how nice he is and admire his Sabino white spots!

Sweat Shop, 7 year old. 16h bay gelding

Wouldn’t you love to see the beautiful face of this handsome son of the great Grand Slam greeting you every day? His trainer says he is sound, has excellent manners including in his stall, and is a nice ride who never pulls. He thinks Sweat Shop could even be suitable for a young rider once he has some retraining. His trainer would keep him as a race track pony horse if he had the room — and that vote of confidence shows how good Sweat Shop’s temperament is. He was a perfect gentleman for his glamor shots, and loved the mints we gave him. He jogged quietly and showed good, light on his feet movement.  We thought he was so adorable that we just couldn’t stop taking pictures of his pretty face and giving him treats.

Digby B, 4 year old, 16.2 bay gelding

What an athletic sport prospect — eventers should jump all over this young guy! His trainer says this boy is just not interested in being a racehorse but he does want a job and he feels he would make a great show horse/jumper/eventer.  He also says Digby is sound with no vices. Digby had just back to the track from the farm when we saw him. Despite that he very was good to handle and has great presence. When he jogged for his video he showed good suspension and cadence and was light on his feet.  His handler said when he gallops he is a gorgeous mover. We admired his alert intelligent expression, and his uphill build and strong shoulder. Digby B has a good sport/jumping pedigree. He is by Raffie’s Majesty, who is from the His Majesty/Ribot sire line. He has Roberto and Nijinsky on his dam’s side.  He is relatively lightly raced, with only 13 starts. He’s a nice mover with a beautiful topline, great sloping shoulder and nice bone. Tall already, he looks like he may still grow a bit more. Athletic with real potential for eventing. Better call soon — big young sound athletic high level prospects like this don’t last long!

Gazellephant, 3 year old, dark bay, 16.1+ filly: Placed!

Update: August 27, 2013 – Gazellephant’s new trainer found the mare her new home. 🙂

Update: Aug. 24, 2013:  When we were previously told that Gazellephant had been sold, it turns out she was actually placed with another trainer at Finger Lakes Race Track, who still wants to find her a great new home.

This beautiful girl is definitely more gazelle than elephant! Very pretty and very sweet, she is unraced. They put her in training this spring, and she developed a sore left front tendon. As you can see from her clean legs, she has not bowed her tendon, but her trainer wisely wants to stop on her and find her a good new home and new career less strenuous than racing.  Give her some rest and let her finish growing and filling out, and you may well have a wonderful horse for many disciplines.  There is also definite broodmare potential here. She was sold for $40,000 as a yearling, and she is by  the excellent sire Grand Slam out of a stakes placed, stakes producing mare. Lots of good sport sire lines as well: Gone West, Dixieland Band, Secretariat, TV Lark, Princequillo, Ribot.

Say Halo Sandy, 7 year old, bay 16.1 h gelding: Placed!

Update: Aug. 24, 2013: Sandy’s trainer has dropped his price, and he is anxious to find this lovely horse a great new home. Please someone step up for him!

This very pretty, well balanced and sound guy drew us in with his alert elegance and friendly personality. He has been a hard knocking successful race horse who has won over $95,000 for people, but this year he is telling his owner/trainer that his heart just isn’t in the racing game anymore, so it is time to find him a new career.  With his looks, clean legs, balance, great shoulder, intelligence, and nice movement, we can see that career being anything, from the hunter ring to eventing, dressage, or even a great trail horse. His trainer kept saying he would make a great show horse with his beauty.  He said Sandy is a very happy horse galloping in the mornings, but just doesn’t want to run fast in the afternoon anymore. He is described as kind and friendly, nice to handle and ride, with no vices. We felt his legs, and they were clean, tight and cool, even though he had raced just the day before.  He has a great pedigree for sport, by the popular and durable stallion Say Florida Sandy (from the Personal Flag/Private Account/Damascus line so loved by eventers), who has several progeny successfully eventing or showing over fences, out of a mare by Saint Ballado from the Halo/Hail to Reason line. This horse is a real gem, but he needs to find a new home very soon, because his trainer needs the stall.

Cool Operator, 5 year old, 15.3 dark bay gelding.

This beautiful horse is the complete package — very well put together, great shoulder, balanced build, clean legs, sound, quiet and sensible, and a lovely mover.  We admired his dappled healthy coat, good bone, and friendly alert attitude as he stood like a perfect gentleman for his photo session. His trainer says he seems to have lost interest in racing recently, so they would like to find him a new career. He said the horse is sound, has no vices, is good to work with. We see great potential here for the h/j show ring or for eventing or dressage.  When he jogged for his video, he showed off  a lovely trot, light on his feet, good reach, balanced, with cadence. He has an excellent pedigree; he’s a grandson of AP Indy, and illustrious names such as Secretariat, Buckpasser, Damascus, Pleasant Colony and Bold Ruler run throughout his lineage.

Candomble, 6 year old, 15.1 dark bay gelding.

What a cute, well put together guy — good things come in small packages.  He is lightly raced, and didn’t even run until he was 5, so there’s not much wear on tear on him at all. He finally broke his maiden this year, but is not competitive at the next level of competition. His trainer says he is not happy on the track, but is great at the farm. She said he is well behaved and has no vices.  He spent the winter at a h/j show barn, so she thinks they might have started giving him some jumping training. He had raced the day before his photo session, and his trainer says he came back from the race with a slight filling in an ankle, but he jogged soundly for us and showed cute movement.  We can see this horse as an ideal match for a child, pony club mount, or for a petite adult.

S Z Madison, 8 year old, 15.3h bay horse.

What a handsome package: Solid body, balanced compact uphill build, beautiful head, sweet and sensible personality.  Although he is still a stud, there is nothing studdish about him. His owner/trainer, who loves him dearly, told us he is very well mannered and easy to work with, has no vices, and has been stabled next to fillies with no problems. He has had this horse for three and a half years, and he is one of his favorites. He is stopping on him because he has an old suspensory injury and he does not think it will hold up to more racing and he does not want to see his beloved boy get hurt. A very good home is essential.  The daughter of one of our volunteers, who works in the same barn shedrow at the track, raved to us about what a wonderful horse Madison is — she says he has the coolest friendly personality, and is always such a good boy. She says that whoever steps up for him will get a wonderful horse for pleasure or trail riding or all around fun and companionship. His owner/trainer also thinks he should be appealing to people who breed for sport and the show ring, and want a beautiful thoroughbred to cross with warmblood or even pony mares.

Badge of Red, 7 year old, 15.3h chestnut gelding: Placed!

Chestnut stunner with beautiful balanced conformation, this handsome guy looks like he wants to be in the show ring.  We admired his great shoulder, deep chest, solid bone, strong rear, and well balanced build; altough he is a shade under 16 h he will take up a lot of leg. He was a perfect gentleman for his photo session, and showed off nice movement for his jog video. His trainer says is is sound, quiet, very nice to ride, and has no vices. He just hasn’t been successful enough as a racehorse, so he wants to find him a new career where he can shine.  Badge of Red has an excellent pedigree for jumping and sport. His sire, Badge, has produced several successful jumpers and eventers; his off spring are known for having good minds and durability. His pedigree is filled with names such as Bold Forbes, Bold Ruler,Majestic Light, Rock Talk, Ribot, Prince John, Owen Tudor, and Teddy.  Badge of Red’s dam raced over 120 times, won almost $200,000 and stayed sound — great soundness genes to pass on.

Great Bear, 5 year old, 16.3 dark bay gelding.

What an impressive, handsome. athletic horse! We could go on an on with superlatives over this quality guy. Bear is described as a “care bear” — a friendly gentleman well loved in his barn. His trainer describes him as completely sound, but just not interested in racing any more. They would like to send him into a new career while he is still sound.  With his impressive shoulder and girth, well balanced conformation, clean legs, good mind and temperament, and very nice movement, we can see Bear excelling as an eventer, hunter/jumper, or dressage. He was perfectly behaved for his photo session, and showed off a flowing, long strided trot with good cadence for his jog video. He is an AP Indy grandson, with great horses such as Secretariat, Personal Ensign, Private Account, Damascus, and Buckpasser in his pedigree.

This handsome, laid back, friendly guy is described by his trainer as sound — and he has already had jumping training over the winter! With his nice movement and outstanding pedigree for jumping, he is an excellent sport horse prospect. He is by Prime Timber, from the Cox’s Ridge sire line with Buckpasser on the dam side, and his dam is by Devil’s Bag, from the Halo line.  His trainer is ready to find him a great new home that can tap into his jumping potential, since he is not running well.  She says that at the farm where he spent the winter, they started working him over small jumps, including bounces and other gymnastics.  They said he picked it up quite well, and showed all the evidence of being a very good jumper. He is also described as easy going, great to handle, and nice to ride.  We have seen him on the training track, and have observed a fluid well balanced gallop.  If you are looking for an eventing or hunter/jumper prospect, this could be your horse!

Inger Management, 7 year old dark bay, 16,2 gelding: RIP 2006-2013

Update:  It is with great sadness that we report the untimely demise of this wonderful, much loved horse. He took a bad step in a race on August 16, broke down and had to be euthanized on the track.  RIP gallant soul.

Big strong guy with great sport horse potential.  Inger’s owner/trainer raved about what a great horse he is – a pleasure to handle and ride, great work ethic, very sound, good feet, an easy keeper.  Inger has been a very good race horse, winning at the allowance level on the New York circuit, and is just shy of $200,000 in earnings. He cost over $50,000 as a yearling and two year old. He is still running well this year, and he will keep racing while he looks for a great new home where he can be trained for a new career. This horse has been good to his connections, and they want to list him now to give him time to find a new home before the end of the meet. Step up for this big  solid sound guy and you will be well rewarded with a great horse.

Landlash, 2007 dark bay,16.3 h mare

Stunning black beauty! This big girl is solidly built, well balanced with a great shoulder, deep chest, and strong rear end.  She is also very flashy looking with her big white blaze. She came to her current owner/trainer earlier this year not in the best of shape, and he has restored her to sleek health, but she still has some foot issues he is working on. She had a deep foot abscess that only came to the surface a few weeks before her photo session, so she was still barefoot and tender, so we asked him not to jog her. But she did show a big strided flowing walk. We watched some of her race videos, and it looks like she is a good mover with a balanced flowing canter. She has been a good race horse, winning at the allowance level at Belmont. Her trainer thinks she would make a great broodmare; her sire, Catienus, is turning out to be a good broodmare sire. But we also see show ring or sport potential here. Her half sister, Mark the Galaxy, and her half brother, Raytessa, both out of the same dam, are past stars from the last two seasons of Finger Lakes Finest TBs listings, and are both now showing promise in their new careers. Her trainer says she is a lovely mare to be around.

She is a daughter of Trust N Luck, from the Buckpasser sire line, so sport horses breeders should give her a serious look as well as those who want to breed for racing.

Googly was running well last year, but this year is letting them know that his heart is no longer in the racing game.  Googly has a regal pedigree.

This hunky boy is described by his trainer as “the love of her life.”  He raced very well for her last year, but she wants to find him the very best of new non-racing homes because this year he displaced his palate when asked for speed work. She says this should not be an issue for any discipline that demands less full out speed than racing.  He is described as a very people oriented boy who loves attention and mints. His trainer says he is very nice to ride and handle , and never gives anyone any problems. He had been off from training for three weeks when we took his photos, yet he was very quiet and jogged beautifully for his video. He is a very nice mover, light on his feet.  While he may have a plain head, he has a beautiful body, with solid bone, and a balanced build. And his loveable personality more than makes up for what he lacks in the pretty face department! His trainer says he has always been very sound, but has an old bump just above and inside of his right fetlock, from when he hit himself when he was younger.  His trainer is so insistent that he go only to a non-racing home that she will not transfer the papers if she even thinks someone might contemplate racing her lover boy.  We see great sport potential here!  Excellent home essential – references will be checked.

Eventers, take note — great potential here! This stunning athletic young guy is known as “David.” He is a homebred, so you can find out his entire history.  He is described as completely sound with no vices– “not a pimple on him,” according to his owner/trainer. He is lightly raced with only 7 starts, but is showing no aptitude for racing, and his connections think he could excel at jumping or eventing. They said he gets a bit keyed up at the track, but off the track he is great. They said they have taken him on trail rides, and motorcycles and 4-wheelers can go roaring by him and he doesn’t care at all. He turns out well with other horses. He was fresh from racing/prancy for his jog video but we could see the lovely suspension and athleticism in this beautiful young horse.  Better call quickly about David — big, young, sound, flashy, athletic geldings like him go fast!

This regal mare’s dappled coat gleamed in the sun, and we admired her sold bodied balanced build, strong chest and hindquarters. She has been a hard knocking successful war horse, earning over $140,000 in her racing career. After her last race only five days before we saw her, she developed what the trainer described as a slightly sore front suspensory ligament, and he said that while she is not racing sound at the moment, with some rest time she should be fine for most disciplines. She jogged nicely for her video, appearing to be just slightly off, and showed nice movement. He says she is a very nice mare to handle. She has excellent broodmare potential, with her winning record and her pedigree. She is sired by Catienus, who is turning out to be an excellent broodmare sire. Her dam is by top sire El Prado, who is by superstar sire Sadler’s Wells. This mare has been a good racehorse for many people, and her current connections really want to find her a great home.

Lil Tahiti Sweetie, 4 year old, chestnut filly, 16.1

Well named — her groom kept raving about what a sweetie she is. Good mind, great to handle, loves attention. She was showing some talent for racing, but after her last workout she developed a very slight tear in a front tendon. The groom described it as “25%.” It has been ultrasounded, and the vet says that with some rest she should be fine for anything, even racing. But her owner prefers to find her a great home where she can excel in a less demanding career. She is well conformed, with a great shoulder, and looks like she will still grow a bit. She jogged sound for her video, and showed off truly gorgeous movement that should turn heads in the hunter or dressage ring. Suspension, float, cadence, flat kneed toe-pointing reach to this trot! She is also a daughter of Friendly Island, sire of one of last year’s FLF stars who is succeeding in the show hunter ring. Give this beautiful filly the time off she needs and we think you will be richly rewarded with a terrific show horse prospect.

Friendly Contender, 4 year old chestnut filly, 15.2 h

What a pretty girl!  As we were taking her glamor shots, people came out of nearby barns to exclaim over her beauty.  This solidly built, well balanced filly is unraced. She recently developed slight bows in her tendons, and while she is moving sound on them, her owner prefers not to try to race her but to find her a good home where, after some rest, she should be fine for many new careers.  Her trainer says she is quiet, level headed, good to handle, an easy keeper. She loved the mints and attention we gave her. She jogged sound for her video, and showed off  a very cute, toe pointing trot. She is by Friendly Island, who has also sired one of last year’s FLF stars who is now succeeding as a show hunter. Someone with the time and patience to give this beauty a few months of R & R will wind up with one fancy horse, so please give her a chance!

Who’s Zat Girl, 4 year old dappled bay 16h filly – Placed!

We were so delighted to meet this lovely lady. While we got her ready for her photos she was friendly, sweet and oh so quiet. We noticed her lovely cadence and suspension as she trotted for us despite the sweltering hot day. Her coat is beautifully dappled soft and shiny. Super well balanced with a nice topline this girl just isn’t interested in racing any longer. Her trainer feels she would be a perfect lady’s or experienced child’s horse and we couldn’t agree more. He states she is sound with no vices. We’re sure you’ll fall in love with her elegant conformation and quiet ways. Perhaps a perfect horse for both mother and daughter.
