Hisgoodside, 2013 16.1h chestnut gelding

This handsome, kind, friendly, and laid back guy will surely get on your good side if you are lucky enough to bring him home!  His handler says he is a “really cool” horse, quiet, sound, lightly raced with only 5 starts, and just too slow to continue trying to make him a racehorse.  He has lived most of his life on his breeder’s farm, where he has been trail ridden, exposed to tractors and trucks and lots of activity, and proven to be an unflappable even tempered horse who just takes it all in and goes on his quiet way.  Hisgoodside can go in any new career direction, but with his laid back temperament and nice toe pointing trot we can see him excelling as a show hunter. With his balanced build and good shoulder, he looks like he will be a good jumper, and his pedigree has lots of sport horse potential.  He is by Stonesider,a Giant’s Causeway son who has many offspring that have been placed through our listings who are succeeding in new careers in eventing, dressage, jumpers, and show hunters. His dam is by Charismatic, a son of Summer Squall from the Storm Bird/Northern Dancer line.  This young, sound, lightly raced, good boned, nice moving guy with a great brain has so much potential for so many disciplines, and he fits the criteria of what so many people say they are looking for, so call fast and don’t let this gem get away!

Deputy’s Daughter, 2012 15.3h bay mare

This beautiful daughter of popular sport horse sire Freud has been with her owner since she was a three year old, and there is a strong bond between them.  She is affectionately known as “DD,”  and DD sure does love peppermints!  We watched her settle right down and stand happily in the rain once her owner produced the magic candies.  DD’s owner says she is very sweet to groom and handle, but that on occasion in her stall, loud noises can set her off, and then she just needs her “reset” time.  DD far prefers turn out to stall living — her owner thinks she would be happiest in a situation where she gets maximum turn out time, and she reports that DD happily turns out with anyone, mares, gelding, ponies, minis.  DD is reported to  be good to ride, but very forward, so an experienced rider will be best for her.  Her owner thinks that DD will love hunter paces and cross country.  She reports that DD is sound, with just an old set osselet that causes no issues. We photographed DD just a couple of days after she raced, and she displayed good movement despite some of the hind end tightness typical of horses just after a race.  DD has a great pedigree for sport/jumping disciplines.  Her sire, Freud, is a full brother to Giant’s Causeway, and her dam is by Silver Deputy, a son of Deputy Minister.

Grandview, 2014 16.1h bay gelding: new price

Grandview is a solid bodied guy with a great personality.  His owner/trainer describes him as fun to work with, laid back, and very playful and curious, and as an example she told us about a time when he was turned out in the fenced in back yard at her home, alongside a child’s swingset, and she looked out the window to watch Grandview happily pushing the swing back and forth. It sure does sound like he has the mind for competitive trails, or anything else you want to do!  Earlier this spring,  Grandview started developing an osselet on his left front ankle, so his owner/trainer blistered the ankle, pulled his shoes, and has given him time off. She says he is now ready to go back into light work retraining him for a new discipline, and once he fully heals from the blister and the osselet is cold and set, he will have no limitations for any discipline.  Because he is barefoot, Grandview moved a bit short while jogging on the hard pavement, but we could see that he has nice toe pointing movement and a good push from his strong hind end.  He is by MIzzen Mast, who is by Cozzene and a grandson of Caro — a sire line very popular for sport/jumping disciplines.

Flat Leaver, 2011 16.2h bay gelding

He may be a massive big boned guy, but he has the personality of a puppy.  His owner/trainer showed us photos on her phone of Flat Leaver cuddling with her 4 year old daughter, including an adorable photo of Flat Leaver happily lying down in a soft bed of shavings with the little girl draped across him. She reports that Flat Leaver has a wonderful laid back, friendly and relaxed personality, but that he is also a very game hard trying horse.  He has won 8 races in his 38 race career, with 18 in the money finishes — big hearted and game indeed!  The owner/trainer says he is sound and has always held up well to racing, and she is reluctantly letting him move on to a new career because she has lots of young horses coming in who will take up her time. On the day we photographed him, Flat Leaver had recently lost a front shoe and was still tender footed from that, so jogging on the hard pavement was not ideal.  But the trainer sent us a video she had recently taken of Flat Leaver jogging in the grass paddock at home, and even with the uneven footing we could see good movement, suspension and engagement from behind.  Flat Leaver is by Flatter, a son of AP Indy, and he is out of mare by Pentilicus, who is by Fappiano out of an In Reality mare — very popular sport/jumping sire lines.

Frontier Town, aka “Artie,” 2013 16.1+h bay gelding

After only three races, it was obvious that Artie was not going to be much of a racehorse, but his unflappable great temperament led his owner to keep him at the track and put him to work as a track pony.  Artie has excelled at this job, both in morning training, ponying other horses, and in taking horses to the track in the afternoon and chasing down loose horses. She would love to keep Artie as her track pony, but she isn’t able to ride for a while, and has a lot of young horses coming in so she needs his stall.  But that is going to be the sporting world’s gain. Horses that can handle being track ponies can usually mentally handle anything, and are obviously great around other horses and don’t mind being crowded.  This suggests that Artie might excel as a fox hunter, but with his sold bodied good looks, balanced build, and beautiful lofty movement, we can also see him excelling as a show hunter, in dressage or eventing.  His owner says Artie has a great personality, loves to lay with her young daughter, and is very smart — she calls him Artie the Smarty. She describes him as very sound, but says he cannot wear back shoes because he used to hit himself.  He is reported to be a mild cribber, easily controlled with a collar. He was not wearing a collar when we saw him, and we saw no evidence of cribbing during or time with him.  Artie posed politely for photos in a driving rain, and when he jogged, he had us exclaiming about what a nice mover he is — she showed off lightness, balance and suspension.  Artie is by Congaree, who is from the Blushing Groom sire line, out of a Victory Gallop mare, which is from the Fappiano sire line.  These are great bloodlines for jumping and sport disciplines.
Artie is a rare opportunity to get a young, sound, lightly raced big bodied gelding who has a great brain, an unflappable temperament, and is a lovely mover.  He did race once in 2017, so that makes him RRP eligible.  Artie has a proven price value as a track pony, but his owner says she can be negotiable to a show/eventing home because she would love to see him get off the track and have a chance to shine in another discipline.

Courageous Dreamer, 2015 16.1h bay gelding

This elegant young gelding is stunning — the photos in a gloomy downpour do not do him justice. You must come see him in person!   After just 7 starts, his trainer has decided that he is just too slow to be a good racehorse, but she realizes that with his looks, beautiful movement, and quiet temperament, he could be a star in the show ring. Since he is only three, Dreamer is still growing, and we think he could easily top out at 16.2 or more.  His handler told us that he is very sound, and we observed clean legs.  The trainer describes him as a very kind horse, easy to work with. One of our volunteers jogged him, and she can attest that he was very polite despite lots of activity going on around him.  He showed beautiful movement, with suspension, lightness, and good reach.  With his elegant good looks we can see him as a show hunter, but his strong shoulder and balance also make him an excellent eventing or dressage prospect.  He is by Courageous Cat out of a mare by Caller I.D.  Rahy, Blushing Groom, and Phone Trick are prominent sires popular with sporting disciplines who are close up in his pedigree.  We think this flashy youngster will go fast, so don’t hesitate to call if you are seriously interested.

Punching Bag, 2015 17h dark bay gelding

He is HUGE — and he hasn’t finished growing into his big lanky frame. When he is fully grown, filled out, and remuscled for a new discipline, he is going to be quite the impressive equine specimen!  Please then give him a new name better suited for his kind personality and impressive stature!  After only 5 starts, it is obvious that Punching Bag is just not going to make it as a racehorse, but we sure do see sport horse potential in him.  He showed light springy movement, with good push from behind, and this was just three days after his last race. His trainer says he is sound, and we observed clean legs. She says he is good to handle, but he is an energetic big young horse, so he is best suited for an experienced rider who can give him time to grow up.  She affectionately calls him “Llama.” He has an excellent pedigree for sporting/jumping disciplines.  His sire Teuflesberg, is from the same Johannesburg/Hennessey sire line as new racing superstar Justify, and Teuflesberg’s dam is from the Devil’s Bag/Halo line.  Punching Bag’s dam is by Two Punch, who is one of the most coveted sport horse sires.  Everyone says they want young, huge, sound geldings with upper level sporting potential, so if you are seriously interested you should call fast on this guy.

Flash Tips 2011 16.1 h chestnut mare

Flash Tips (we’ll call her Flashy)! is a striking plain, chestnut mare who has had the heart and talent to win four of her 16 lifetime starts. Now that she has run through her conditions where she can be competitive, it is time to move her on. We loved her powerful engine and pretty shoulder and know that she will appeal to the lucky person who understands that the chestnut mare myth is just that and will scoop her up to dispel that silly bias. Flashy has clean legs and is described as sound and without vices. She showed nice movement att the jog and may fit in to the hunter ring or excel at foxhunting or eventing.She is reported to be without vices and is more than ready to move on quickly to her new home.

Price $850 neg.

Tizzy Fit, 2014, 15.3h, Dark Bay Filly

We think you could have lots of fun with a name like this! She may have a sassy name, but she was very sweet during her photo shoot on a bitterly cold day.  Tizzy has 17 starts under her belt and in that time she has earned about $16,000 with one win, 2 seconds, and 2 thirds. After breaking her maiden earlier in the year, Tizzy Fit is letting her connections know that racing is not going to be her gig, so they would like to retire her young and sound.  Tizzy showed very nice movement for her jog video despite the icy conditions.  Her trainer reports she really is a fabulous mover on the track and has a loose, lofty stride.  This girl has limitless potential!  Tizzy is still growing at 3 years old and is a bit butt high right now.  She will also fill out as she grows, so she may end up being a good sized filly!  Her connections report she is usually well behaved but has the occasional “baby” moment.  She is another fabulous option for RRP 2018!  She is by Tizway out of a Tale of the Cat mare.

Geraldine, 2011 16.2h chestnut mare

Our volunteers enjoyed their visit with this big gorgeous  mare on a beautiful Mother’s Day morning. We were told she was a real sweetie and she did not disappoint. She was so quiet but friendly and was such a lady.   Her trainer said she bowed her right front tendon last year and had eight months off.  They put her back in race training in February but she developed heat in the leg so they  decided it was time for her to transition to a new career.  In our experience, with proper time, bowed tendons are not usually an impediment to most new careers. Geraldine’s groom says she loves lots of attention, is a very easy keeper, and is good around her own children, and that the mare may do very well with children given the right training.  Geraldine was a good consistent race horse, with 5 wins and 13 in the money finishes in her 27 starts.  She is by Pollard’s Vision, out of a mare by Phone Trick.  Dixieland Band, Affirmed, Clever Trick, Blushing Groom, and Northern Dancer are other prominent sires in her pedigree.

U Stylin, 2015, 16h Bay filly

Think of the fun you could have with this name!  U Stylin sure is styling!  This lightly raced cutie is absolutely gorgeous and pictures do not do her justice.  At only 3 years old, she has quite the build on her already and she will continue to grow and fill out.  She would be a good option for a taller rider or a rider needing a horse to fill up their leg.  U Stylin was very quiet during her spring photo shoot and seemed to enjoy basking in the sun.  She seemed very people oriented and was extra scratches and treats from her handler and our volunteers.  Her handler reports she is very kind and easy to handle in the barn.  They report she is well behaved on the walking machine and has no known vices.  Her trainer reports she has a small bone spur in the upper knee joint so she does not want to continue racing her.  She has recent xrays which are available to seriously interested parties and the vet feels she would be fine for other less strenuous disciplines including jumping.  Since she is only three and is very visibly going through a growth spurt, we think this is the perfect opportunity to get a gorgeous, sweet horse, give them some down time to rest and finish growing, and restart after some turnout time!  U Stylin is by Utopia out of a Posse mare.

Run Indra Run, 2014, 16.2 bay filly: retained by owner

Something about this sweet filly has our volunteers convinced she is going to be a superstar in whatever her next discipline is.  Indra is lightly raced with only 7 starts.  She recently arrived at Finger Lakes with her starts being primarily at Charlestown.  Her trainer reports she just has no desire to race and is too slow to continue training to bring to the races.  He reports she is clean legged and sound.  Indra was very, very quiet during her photo shoot and video.  Her handler says she is good to work around and is not marish.  It was hard to assess what her movement would be like if she really moved out because she was so quiet, but she showed glimpses of being a nice mover.  We think her demeanor might be a good fit for the hunter ring but she has a nice uphill build that should appeal to riders in just about any sporting discipline.  With some good turnout and hay, we think she will be stunning when she fills out! She is a bargain price and we think she is likely to sell quickly.  She is by Kiss the Kid out of a Cimarron Secret mare. Please note the contact person is assisting the trainer who speaks limited English.

Addie Sunshine, 2014, 16.1 Dark Bay Filly: sold for racing

Who couldn’t use a “Little Miss Sunshine” in their barn?!?! This darling filly is described by her connections as a fine horse to work around, but she has just not been able to hit her stride on the track. After two attempts, she is just not exhibiting any promise on the race track and her connections are ready to let her move on to a career where she might find some more success. She spent the winter enjoying turn out in a herd, but she was brought back to racing fit for this spring. While she may have a “diamond in the rough” first impression right now, we have surely seen horses just like Addie glean in just a short amount of time once they adjust to life off of the track. Don’t miss your chance to bring some Sunshine into your barn today!!   Addie is by Mr. Sekiguchi out of a Crusader Sword mare.

HolyKitty, 2014, 14h grey filly

They say the best gifts come in small packages and this adorable filly is certainly no exception!! A striking stature with beautiful movement and mild manners too?? HolyKitty is truly the complete package, in all 14 hands of her!! She is reportedly sound with no stable vices. She is lightly raced with a few starts in Florida, but is just not showing enough talent to continue training to race at Finger Lakes.  Kitty was very quiet during her photoshoot and video even with some excitement in the nearby area. Her handler reports that is typical of her and she is very level headed and sensible. She reports her young daughter loves to dote on her in her stall. She stands quietly to be groomed without being tied. She is by Biondetti out of a Holy Bull mare. We think she will appeal to polo players due to her age and height, but she would certainly be an adorable hunter pony with some retraining.  Due to her quiet demeanor, she may be a good prospect for a junior/adult rider looking to get into the world of OTTBs with the help of a trainer.
