Update:August 11, 2013: After much networking by FLF TBs, we are very happy to report that the wonderful people at Second Chance Thoroughbreds have picked up Smoothie and he is now in their great care. He will be gelded, given the care he needs to gain weight, and then will be retrained and put up for adoption to an approved home.
Update – July 28, 2013 – We are bumping Smoothie back up to the top because he needs to find a new home asap, and don’t forget that he is eligible for our gelding incentive program.
Here’s a beautiful boy we just couldn’t wait to see after we heard his name and he lived up to it completely. We were very impressed when he came out of his stall. Well mannered and good to handle he was very quiet for his pictures. Lightly raced, his groom said he just isn’t interested in being a racehorse. He is well balanced, a nice mover and has show horse potential written all over him. His good looks reflect his great pedigree. What an impressive pair you would be in the ring. Trainer says he is sound but cribs lightly only when eating. Off the track and settled into a new career we think he’ll live up to his name of being a real Smoothie! Finger Lakes Finest Thoroughbreds has a gelding incentive program for approved good homes.
Price:$1,000 negotiable
