DONNA’SWAY, 2015 16.3h bay mare

Our volunteers really loved this sweet mare and think she will get scooped up quickly, so we suggest calling soon if she interests you. After 43 starts where she earned over $64,000 with 1 win, 7 seconds, and 7 thirds, Donna’sway is letting her connections know she has had enough of the race track. They report she is very smart and athletic. She is well behaved, but described as strong with a big stride on the track, so they feel she would be best suited for someone confident and with some experience. They could see her excelling in any sport horse discipline. Recently, Donna has started getting stressed at the track when she thinks she is going to race. This is causing her to stall walk in the early afternoons and at times, break out in hives. Her connections report at the farm , she is a totally different horse. This is quite common for horses to have a demeanor change when leaving the stressful environment of the racetrack. She settles right down when they take her out for grazing or handwalking, but they’d like her to move onto a new job where she can get turned out and not have to worry about the track. We thought her dots in her stripe were just adorable. She has a very sweet, wise expression. She was very quiet and polite for her photo shoot and job video. Donna happily grazed on a loose lead while we chatted with her connections. We think she will make someone very happy in her second career. With her build, we could see her doing well in a dressage or jumping discipline. She will be eligible for RRP 2023. Horses in this height range are always in high demand, especially at this price point, so we would act quickly on this one! Donna’sway is by Posse, who is geat sport horse sire who produces good braind athletic good jumpers, and  out of Merway, a mare by  E Dubai who was placed  into a sport horse home through our listings and has shown aptitude for dressage as well as being a great spor thorse broodmare.

STONEY’S DUE, 2018 16+h chestnut filly

Stoney’s Due is a sweet, lightly raced girl with only four lifetime starts. Her trainer reports she is a sweet girl and very athletic. She is reported to be very kind and have no stall vices. Her trainer told us Stoney would love to stand around and graze all day while simultaneously receiving lots of pets! He thinks because of her stocky build, she could be a good barrel racing prospect, but surely she could go in other directions as well. She recently (on Sept 1, 2022) clipped her left front leg and in the process, mildly bowed a tendon. She has been evaluated by a vet and provided a rehab plan. Although she is cleared to return to racing (or any other sport) after following the rehab plan, her trainer would rather her do something else not on the track. He reports that she has never been unsound on the tendon. She needs approximately 30 more days of hand walking or round pen turnout so help the tendon heal. If you’re looking for a horse for next year’s RRP-she could be a great prospect! Stoney’s Due is by Bustin Stones out of a Devil His Due mare.

OH MY BELLE, 2019 bay filly — to FLTAP

Oh My Belle just recently arrived in the Finger Lakes Area. Her connections report that while waiting for a stall to open up at the track, she was turned out in a herd at a nearby farm where she did very well! Shortly after arriving at the track, she had a hot nail during a shoeing. With the end of the meet being so near, they feel it’s best to let her move onto a different job rather than holding out for next Spring, as she wasn’t showing much interest in racing anyways. Despite being off for a few weeks, she was incredibly well behaved for her photo shoot today. She stood quietly in the wash rack while being hosed and then posed like a model while we took pictures. Her connections report she has no stall vices to report and that she is nice to handle and ride. At only three years old, she is likely to grow some more. She could be a good prospect for some time off from the track to let her finish growing, since she is still butt high. Oh My Belle will be eligible for RRP 2023. She is by Laoban, a son of Ucle Mo, out of a Dehere mare.

PEACHESANDSPICE, 2014 16.3h chestnut mare

Peaches and Spice is a true peach according to her race trainer! She is reported to be a total sweetheart to work with that loves attention and treats! She is reported sound with no vices.  Her trainer states that she is good for the vet and farrier. She is already great with a mounting block.  Volunteers admired her thick build and size, as well as her dappled coat.  Her flat kneed movement and long over tracking walk would make her really stand out in the hunter arena, but we could see her excelling in any direction someone wanted to take her.  Peaches is by Simmard who is by the very desirable sport horse sire Dixieland Band and is out of a Coronados Quest Mare. Don’t let this large, lovely mare pass you by!

ADAYDREAMBELIEVER, 2019 16.1h chestnut filly

Adaydreambeliever truly is a daydream of a horse! This large young lady is reported to be sound and has no vices.  While she does have more go than whoa, she is reported to be very safe and sound.  She was a bit excited as she has been out of training for a month.  According to her connections, she is very sweet and good to be groomed and handled.  Our volunteers witnessed her loving her pre-photo shoot grooming and pets.  Her race connection, who also rides and competes off the track, sees true upper level potential in this girl in just about any discipline. While she is lovely to work with and ride, she is not recommended as a first time restart and would do best with an experienced rider.  Even with only one shoe, Adaydreambeliever demonstrated a lovely over tracking walk and a beautiful, toe pointing trot. Her pedigree is filled with many desirable names such as Speightstown, Hard Spun, Danzig, and Gone West.  This very lightly raced filly is ready to start her new career! Don’t miss out on this very special lady!

ROOSKI, 2019 15.2h bay filly

Some of the best things come in small packages and this flashy young lady is no exception! This sweet girl begged for pets and peppermints from volunteers while her connections cleaned her up for her photo shoot. She clearly loved being groomed and getting attention, so it came as no surprise that she is her owner’s favorite! Her track connections state that if allowed, Rooski would “go sit on the couch in the office” with you, especially if you had a peppermint to offer! This lovely, lightly raced filly is reported sound and is currently barefoot. While she may be small, she does have a deep barrel and would likely take up a ton of leg! Our volunteers were wowed by her lovely movement and could see her getting attention in any arena! Rooski is by Tourist who is by the highly desired sport horse stallion Tiznow, loved by eventers and jumpers, and out of a Freud mare.

HOT TO PARTY, 2017 16h bay mare

 This very pretty daughter of Desert Party is described by her handler as “just a very nice horse to be around.” He says she is well mannered, gentle, and just loves to be loved on. We admired her well-balanced conformation, elegant head and kind eye.  She has the look of an elegant show hunter, and she is also a nice mover with a flowing big step.  But a lighter work career, perhaps limited to flat work or low level jumping, would be best for her, since after she came up sore after her last workout at the end of August, her trainer x-rayed her knee and she has a hairline crack in the third joint.  We took her photos and video ten days after her workout, and she was very well behaved even though she had been on stall rest, and she moved welly a couple of steps that were slightly off before she leveled out.  This is a good sign for a good healing prognosis.  We had a show hunter trainer who is experienced with pony hunters and pony hunter breeding accompanying us around that track on the morning we saw Hot to Party, and she thought that Hot to Party would be an outstanding broodmare prospect  to cross with Welsh pony stallions to produce TB/Welsh cross pony hunters– an increasingly popular cross for the show ring. The trainer can make the x-rays available to seriously interested buyers.  Hot to Party’s sire, Desert Party, is by Street Cry, and he has proven to be a popular sport horse sire who gets ammy friendly offspring with good brains, good movement, and excellent jumping ability.  Her dam is by Roaring Fever out of a mare from the Majestic Prince sire line.

MADELINE SWEETIE, 2019 16.1h chestnut filly

This one is for the Smarty Jones fans! “Maddie” as she is lovingly called by her current connection, had many of our volunteers swooning today! There’s a lot to love about this sweet girl and we think she will be scooped up quickly, so act fast if she catches your eye! Maddie presented as a well put together, flashy, 3 year old filly. She is still a bit butt high, so likely still has some growing to do. Her connections report she is sound and has no vices, but has no interest in being a race horse. Although she has done some training, her times have not been fast enough to count as a workout, so she will not be eligible for RRP. Her trainer report she goes out on the track and just sort of lopes around at her own pace-just taking in the scenery and not in a hurry!  They report that she is good to work with on the ground. The trainers children have walked and groomed her. Maddie does prefer to be the first horse fed in the morning. Her connections also report she can be fussy about her hind legs for the farrier. They give her some sedative to make the experience better for her. Although she has stopped training, she was very quiet and polite during her photo shoot. At one point, our volunteer dropped a water bottle at her feet (accidently) and she didn’t even flinch. She displayed a floaty walk. She jogged on a loose lead and had a big step with lots of reach at the shoulder. We could see her being a fabulous hunter prospect, although surely she could go in other directions as well. Madeline Sweetie is by Smarty Jones out of a King Cha Cha mare.

FASTELLE, 2018 16.2h chestnut filly

While her name says fast, this sweet filly is just not keeping up with her peers this racing season. In 16 lifetime starts, she’s hit the board just three times and her connections have decided it’s time for her to find something she’s better suited at. She is described as sound, and is reported to have no vices. Fastelle showed off great manners, and excellent gaits for our volunteers, and she seems to have the makings of someone’s next great eventing or dressage prospect, although surely she could go in other directions as well. Fastelle is by Flat Out (who is a son of Flatter), out of a Came Home mare. Flatter is one of our volunteer’s favorite sires! This classy young girl with great bone and wisdom beyond her years will certainly not last long! She is RRP eligible and team FLF would be so proud to cheer her on. Call today to bring her home before the holidays set in!
Price: $3500 negotiable.

PROFUSION, 2017 15.3h bay gelding

This very well bred son of Pioneer of the Nile was a $300,000 weanling, and the obvious quality in his pedigree makes him an enticing prospect for a sport horse career.  With three wins and 8 placings in 13 starts he has shown ability and heart.  Before a recent race entry, as pat of a morning look, the state vet scratched him, which meant he had to go on the vet’s list. His trainer then had a complete vet work up including ultrasounds and everything checked out clean with no issues.  But the owner decided that rather than wait out the couple of months it would take to work him off the vet’s list, which would bring him to the end of the Finger Lakes racing season, it was best to find him a great new non-racing home for a new career.  The assistant trainer who handles him daily told us that he is a good horse to handle and work with, with no issues and no vices. He was very mellow and perfectly behaved for his photo session and jog video and showed off cute movement with a flowing big walk and a nice spring to his step at the trot. His sire, Pioneeer of the Nile, a son of Empire Maker from the Unbridled line, is very popular as a sport horse sire, known for ammy friendly offspring with good brains and kind temperaments, as well as good movement and jumping ability.  Profusion’s dam is by First Samurai, a son of Giant’s Causeway.  Profusion has unlimited potential for any discipline, and is offered at a bargain price, so act fast if you are interested in bringing this well bred son of the great Pioneer of the Nile into your stable.

BOSTON BILLY, 2017 15.2h dark bay gelding

Sometimes the best things come in small packages. For those of you of average height who do not need a big horse, but are looking for a well-bred upper level prospect that has big strided movement to equal a larger mount, Boston Billy is your horse!  We admired his athletic balanced build and shiny dappled appearance. His trainer says that Billy is a sound and happy horse.  He posed like a gentleman and jogged on a loose lead without even a chain over his nose. Billy displayed light ground covering movement with good reach from the shoulders. Billy has one win in 28 starts, has yet to hit the board in 5 races this year, and his connections realize that second win is elusive so it is best to move him on to a new career — and his potential for any new career is unlimited.  Billy’s handler describes him as a playful and smart horse, without a mean bone in his body — but he likes to test people to see what he can get away with. As soon as Billy realizes he can’t get away with something with a person, he doesn’t try it again, his handler reports. His personality means that Billy is best suited for an experienced and patient person who will firmly and confidently let Billy know they are the alpha, but without undue harshness. HIs handler says Billy would love to find his own person that he can bond with and develop mutual trust and understanding — and then he will give you his all. Billy has experience being around young kids, dogs, and lots of activity, and he is fine with all that.  His sire is Congrats, by AP Indy. Billy’s dam is by Arch, from the Kris S./Roberto sire line and a Danig and Alydar damsire line, and she is out of a Montbrook mare from the Buckpasser line.  These are stout proven sport horse lines.

Stoneharbor Blonde, 2018, 16h chestnut filly

Located at the Finger Lakes Race Track in Farmington, NY (near Rochester, NY).
When Blondie was brought out of the barn we immediately noted her shiny coat with cute, white spots throughout, and her beautiful solid bodied build. Her handler described Blondie as very sweet and laid back, sound, good to ride and good to pony in the post parade (her handler is also her “pony girl”). Blondie has had 15 races with starts at multiple east coast tracks and has compiled a 15 2-1-2 record. Because she isn’t showing the competitive spirit needed to continue in race training, her owner has agreed to stop on her and let her find a new career.  And what unlimited potential she indeed has for a sport horse career!  Blondie displayed friendly interaction with the volunteers and jogged politely on a loose lead, showing off nice even movement. She is fully eligible for the 2023 RRP. Her sire is Speighster, a young son of the great Speightstown, from the Gone West sire line which is a great sport horse line. Deputy Minister, Bold Ruler, and Blushing Groom appear on her dam side — these are some of the best sport horse sire lines.

SPORTINI, 2018 17h bay colt

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY (near Rochester)
The quality breeding shines through in this stunning big colt, who exudes elegance. On a day when we saw one beautiful horse after another, Sportini rose to the top of the class as “the fairest of them all.” The photos do not do justice to how gorgeous this horse is in person.  He is very well put together with a chiseled beautiful head and kind eye that draws you in.  He is not studdish at all — indeed we were taken by how friendly and polite he is. He just loved the neck skritches we gave him, nuzzling for more. His groom raved about what a great horse he is, wonderful to handle with no vices. He showed off very good movement in his jog video, with a big stride and a light flatter kneed and flowing trot.  Sportini’s trainer says that his left knee gets slightly sore for a day or two after a race, so despite how well Sportini is performing he thinks it is best to find him a new career.  We photographed Sportini only three days after he had raced — and won! — and he showed no ill effects at all.  We felt both knees, and they were both cold and tight with no filling. Sportini has raced 9 times this year and has compiled an admirable record of three wins, four seconds, and a third.  His trainer reports that this excellent racing record is a testament to how much heart and try Sportini has — and he is looking to put that willing attitude to work in the new discipline of your choice! He is sired by Elusive Quality, who is from the Gone West sire line. His dam is a daughter of the great Bernardini, a son of AP Indy. Sportini comes from the top quality Godolphin breeding program.  Sportini is so well behaved as a colt that you could keep him intact and use him in sport horse breeding while also competing him — but just imagine what a glorious gelding he will be!

PRINCIPINO, 2018 16.1h dark bay colt

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY (near Rochester)
WOW– this drop dead gorgeous young colt with a great temperament,  lovely movement, and the ideal sport horse pedigree just shouts quality and potential for a sport horse career — he’s fancy enough for the show hunter ring, and has the uphill build and pedigree for eventing and jumping or dressage.  His trainer says he is very kind and not the slightest bit studdish, so you could leave him intact and use him for sport horse breeding while also competing him.  But wow what a great gelding he will be! He has a beautiful head and kind eye, uphill build with a good topline.  He is clean legged and reported to be sound.  He showed off lovely light and even movement for his jog video.  His trainer reports that the owner is overextended and has to reduce their number of horses. Principino has yet to win, but in his 9 races he has two seconds and 4 thirds.  He last raced in October 2021, so he is fully eligible for the 2023 RRP. The current trainer, who takes great are with their horses and has been the source for some of our most coveted and successful-in-new-career listings, reports that Principino came to her a couple of months ago  in less than ideal condition, barefoot and underweight. Under her great care he is filling out and has returned to health and happiness — but he still has some filling out to do. (To see how stunning he looks when fully fleshed out and shiny, see the photo that accompanies his pedigree query entry — the pedigree query entry is linked below.)  Principino is sired by Cairo Prince, who is by Pioneer of the Nile and out of a Holy Bull mare.  Cairo Prince, Pioneer of the Nile, and Holy Bull have well deserved reputations for producing excellent sport horses with great temperaments, willing attitudes, excellent movement and jumping ability.   Principino’s dam is by the recently deceased Include, a son of Broad Brush — both coveted sport horse sires. A rarity for modern US thoroughbred pedigrees, he has no Storm Cat or Mr. Prospector in the first 5 generations of his pedigree. But what you do see in those five generations are stout sport horse lines such as Unbridled, Fappiano, Holy Bull, Hail to Reason, Turn-To,  and Damascus.

PRAYIN ON CURRENCY, 2019 16+h bay colt

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY (near Rochester)
Thie big good looking young bay guy is affectionately known as “Curtis,” and he completely stole the hearts of our volunteers. On a day when we saw many great looking and great moving horses, Curtis won the coveted title of “volunteer favorite.”  Curtis has excellent solid bodied conformation, with an adorable face, strong shoulder and hind end, good neck set and top line.  His trainer reports that he is sound; his left hind ankle is slightly enlarged, but it has been x-rayed clean with no calcification or any limitations; the trainer says it may be congenital or perhaps from something when he was a baby.  Curtis has 8 races, 6 this year, and he has only a single third place finish to show for his efforts. His trainer reports that during the speed and stress of racing jockeys retport that he gets short of breath. He was scoped, and has a paralyzed flap.  But the trainer also gallops him, and reports that he can gallop long distances with no breathing or endurance issues at all, and he never makes a noise.  So they are confident that he will have no limitations for any sport horse discipline — and they also say Curtis is great to ride.  For his video Curtis displayed lanky big strided movement. HIs trainer reports that he is a very kind horse who is easy to handle and has no vices, and is not the slightest bit studdish.  Sounds like Curtis will be a dreamboat gelding!  His pedigree is replete with sires well known for producing great sport horses with good brains. He is by Songandaprayer, a son of Unbridled’s Song.  Curtis’ dam is by Currency Swap, whose sire High Cotton is known for producing the kindest and willing jumpers, eventers, and show hunters.   Dixie Union, Smoke Glacken, Two Punch, Broad Brush, Halo, Fappiano, and Danzig are other top sport horse sires in his pedigree.

POOKIELICIOUS, 2019 16.1h chestnut filly

Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY (near Rochester)
Who can resist a gorgeous horse with the name Pookielicious?!  She is as adorable and delectable as her name indicates.  She is beautiful, with a huge strong shoulder and conformation that shouts sport horse potential.  Her trainer raves about what a sweet, kind horse she is –“she is so cool,” she exclaimed. Pookie was very chill and laid back for her photo session, as she stood around just soaking up the sun and our attention.  Her trainer says she is always kind and well behaved. But she is just not showing enough racing ability to persist in that endeavor…. but she sure does have unlimited potential for any new career.  Indeed, in the group f our volunteers who saw her, we had a dressage rider, a show hunter rider, and an eventer, and we all said “we love her!”  She has 7 starts — 4 this year — with one win and one second.  She is fully eligible for the 2023 RRP.  Pookie is clean legged and her trainer reports that she is sound with no vices.  For her jog video she showed off very good movement that suggests a dressage or eventing career might be just up her alley. Her sire Bethel is a son of Pulpit (AP Indy), and her dam is from MIswaki and Wild Again lines.  We would love to cheer Pookie on in the RRP next year — we can see her excelling in any of the disciplines!

HENNY HEFNER, 2014 15.3h bay gelding

Are you looking for a great brained, kind, willing, been-there-done-that horse with good movement and a loving personality who can go in any direction for a new career? If so, then the adorable and much loved Henny Hefner is your horse! His trainer raved about what a kind solid citizen Henny is — she says she thinks he could be a good horse for someone new to restarting OTTBs because he is so level headed and easy going.  Henny Hefner has 7 wins in his racing career, including one this year, but lately he is letting his trainer know that he would prefer not to be a racehorse anymore.  He certainly deserves the opportunity to show his talents in new endeavors, and to be a pampered best friend.  His trainer reports that Henny is sound, and his legs show just some mild ankle rounding, which is hardly surprising for a war horse. We felt his ankles, and they were tight and cold.  Henny has an endearing face, and solid bodied conformation with a strong hind end.  He showed very nice flowing and even movement for his jog video.    He is sired by Henny Hughes, who is known for producing great brained kind and willing horses with big hearts.  His dam is by City Zip, another sought after sport horse sire also known for good brained willing offspring.  We think that Henny Hefner is a true gem, who has many good years in him to reward his new person.

REV IT UP, 2020 15.3h bay gelding

REV IT UP, 2020 15.3h bay gelding
Located at Finger Lakes Race Track, Farmington NY (near Rochester)
When this young guy jogged off for his video, our jaws dropped. Wow, our volunteers exclaimed — look at that suspension! What a fancy mover — and what unlimited potential for a sport horse career! Rev it Up is unraced, and his trainer has concluded that she cannot get him ready to race at Finger Lakes, because he does not like the stick and she says all the available exercise riders are overly reliant on the stick in her opinion, and will not breeze or gallop without it. She says he is sound and an easy keeper who loves to eat — and his solid bodied physique bears that out. She says he is a very sweet young horse with no vices, and he was certainly friendly with our volunteers.  We noted his solid bodied balanced build an strong hind end and shoulder.  Hs legs are clean, but we noted that he does have a clubbed left front foot, His trainer says he has had zero soundness issues. He was barefoot and jogged soundly with WOW movement. He showed off great loft and suspension with hind end engagement and push, and an even rhythm.  In the group of volunteers and shoppers who saw him, we had a dressage rider, two show hunter riders, and an eventer, and all of us were drooling and saying he could excel in our disciplines.  Give him time to grow up and physically mature, and we think he can turn out to be an upper-level prospect in multiple sport horse disciplines. He is sired by Frank Conversation, a young son of Quality Road (Elusive Quality/Gone West) out of a mare from Awesome Again (Deputy Minister) and Capote (Seattle Slew) lines.  If you are looking for an exciting upper-level prospect and have the patience and experience to let a young horse mature, Rev It Up is one you should seriously consider.  And he is offered at a bargain price for a horse of his gorgeous movement and potential!
