Located at the Finger Lakes Race Track in Farmington, NY (near Rochester, NY). Our volunteers fell in love with this adorable face! Junction Pool was cool as a cucumber for his photo shoot and jog video. His trainer reports he’s a friendly guy and is well liked in the barn, but he is showing no promise as a race horse. He is very lightly raced with only 3 starts. He did not hit the board in any of those races and earned a measly $630. Surely he will be much more successful in a different career! His trainer reports he is totally sound and clean legged. He’s also reported to have no stall vices. Over the winter, Junction Pool turned out well with other horses. We think Junction will make a great project horse! He showed nice movement for his jog video with good reach at his walk and hunter-y movement at the jog. Junction Pool will be eligible for RRP. He is by Camelot Kitten out of a Precise End mare. We think this one will get snapped up quickly, so please call quickly if he checks all your boxes!

Located at the Finger Lakes Race Track in Farmington, NY (near Rochester, NY). Beachside is a classy, handsome horse with a perfect sport horse pedigree–he is a son of Giant’s Causeway out of a Tiznow mare. He also happens to be cute, friendly, relaxed around people, and perhaps even a little bit of a ham and a show off! His owner/handler told us that he is “very intelligent, responsive to voice commands, and likes to communicate to us”. And we observed that he does seem to enjoy interacting with people. He’s said to be neat in his stall and easy to work around-he’s typically groomed loose in his stall without being tied. The exercise riders report that he is “very nice to ride”. Beachside is very well put together with a long, sloping shoulder, pretty head, elegant neck, and powerful hindquarters. He does have some ankle rounding but we are told that this does not bother him and that he is sound. He walked and jogged politely on a loose lead where we saw some airy, floaty movement. Judging from his pedigree, build, and movement, Beachside could excel in many disciplines from eventing to dressage to H/J. 

Beachside has had a successful racing career, earning $176,131 in his 46 starts, with 6 wins, 6 seconds, and 7 thirds. He, as his handlers say, could continue to run and do well but they believe that this very personable boy just really wants to “hang out with people” and that he “could go in any career” direction and be happy in his work. The class in his pedigree is exemplary. His dam, Lovely Lil, is a graded stakes winner who has produced stakes winners. This guy has it all-looks, movement, pedigree! And those of us who ride the horse, not the withers height, know that the athletic, solidly built 15.3 horses are often the overall best and fit all but the very tallest of riders. So those of you average height people who know better than obsessing over ginormous horses will get a true gem in Beachside!

Located at the Finger Lakes Race Track in Farmington, NY (near Rochester, NY). There is nothing plain about this darling dark bay filly! Especial has a bright expression and a keen eye to go along with her compact, strong stature. She’s reported to be smart and pleasant to work around on the track and at the farm and was very quiet during her photo shoot. She is said to crib mildly when eating. Her current connections have not attempted to put a cribbing on collar on as it is very mild. Unfortunately for her connections, she’s just not showing any promise as a racehorse and they’ve decided to let this young lady move on to a career where she might find her blue ribbon performance. It’s reported that she has no injuries and is very sound-just isn’t demonstrating enough racing talent. We could see this capable filly going in any direction! She is eligible for RRP!

Especial is by Exaggerator, who is a son of the great Curlin, and she is out of an Awesome Again (Deputy Minister) mare.

Located at the Finger Lakes Race Track in Farmington, NY (near Rochester, NY). Calling all lovers of Frost Giant offspring — here’s a lovely young gelding by that sire who’s deservedly super popular in the sport horse world. And to make his pedigree even more enticing as a sport horse prospect, his damsire is Not for Love. Our volunteer just adored this sweet boy when we met him for his photo shoot. Bumble was sweet and quiet and stood patienty to be groomed and was very friendly. His connections report he is athletic and sound, but just isn’t good enough as a racehorse to warrant bringing him back next year. They would prefer to see him move on to a different discipline where he can be more successful. Bumble is reported to be good to work around at the track and at the farm. His trainer reports he prefers a light hand when riding. They also report that he likes his handlers to go slow when clipping his bridle path, which seems understandable to us! We could see him going in many different sporting directions — eventingm hunters, dressage, whatever you want — and Bumble Monster is eligible for RRP. You could have a lot of fun with this name at horse shows! 

Price: $2500 negotiable
