The lovely homebred filly “Rose” has been hanging on at a farm adjacent to Finger Lakes since her last race on 07/07/25, so this super-cute girl has already had some time to chill and begin to let-down. After four lifetime starts the conclusion is that she runs “slow, so slow that she could walk faster”. They say that she was always in the back of the pack and never really tried to race. As a result, her connections have decided to move her along. They’d love to see her happily well-placed as they say she is “socialized, beautiful, a really good girl, just not a runner”. We were told that she is sound, great in her stall with no vices, and easy-going about pretty much everything.

During our session, she was somewhat distracted by the horses turned out in the nearby round pens; her handler explained that Rose enjoys her somewhat currently limited turnout (an hour or so solo in a round pen), and that she probably thought that’s where she was going and was quite disappointed when that wasn’t the case. . In her photos you can see she was a bit antsy and appears to be wanting to be somewhere else- and that was the round pen. “Over there, people! I want to go over there!” During the winter, she enjoyed regular turnout and has turned out well with other mares in a larger paddock / pasture. We liked her very pretty dished face with just a touch of chrome. She is balanced and nicely proportioned with a longer body type build, which admittedly, often produces a smoother gait to ride. We were told that only a week after she came over to the farm, a farm employee who is working towards becoming a jockey started using her for practice and hopped on her to ride around bareback! We observed that her feet were overdue for a farrier appointment, she was missing three shoes and had one very loose one barely hanging on. We held our breath, uncertain we’d be able to get great jog video because of this, but she totally surprised us. We saw glimpses of a light, lofty, springy, and balanced movement. Wow. We can only image what a pretty mover she might be with a fresh pedicure and a new set of shoes! Rose was another nicely moving, lightly raced, lovely youngster to finish out the day.

Rose is obviously by Redesdale (with Speightstown, Gone West, Danzig) out of an Orientate mare (with Blushing Groom, Storm Bird, Gulch, Cox’s Ridge) in her pedigree.

Brockmoninoff is a chill, wise, fun, relaxed, friendly, kind, and cute war horse with a great name that you can totally riff on! The type we all love and can’t say enough great things about! He has a laid-back, been-there-done-that vibe. His connections said that he’s been a successful racehorse who knows his job and does it well; he’s “fast” and has chalked up an impressive race record (46-9-8-10) with almost $200K in lifetime earnings. We were told that he is “great to ride”. He’s always “the first horse to run”. They put new riders on him to train them; he knows his job, exactly where to go and what to do, and he trains them well. And yet, he doesn’t waste any excess energy- they told us that if he is the sole horse out on the walking machine, he just stops and stands. As we were trying to estimate his height, his connections dragged out a measuring stick, and this boy didn’t blink an eye. This darling instantly became a volunteer favorite as we argued over who would get to take him home; we found him to be completely and perfectly adorable.

Naturally, he stood politely for his photos. We like his build with a nice, wide chest. He has a cute heart-shaped marking on his face; his connections say you can always clearly see it is him as he’s running down the stretch. He’s does have some rounding on his ankles, but we were told that they’ve never bothered him. He generally has no bad habits or vices other than he is a stall walker, and this occurs at both the track and the farm. But he’s great in turnout- alone or with another horse. Given this, we suspect that he may be happiest if he could be in a 24/7 turnout situation.

He was super chill for his video, easily handled on a loose lead. He has a loose, relaxed walk with a huge overstep and we observed a cute jog with relaxed, springy movement.

Brockmoninoff is by Smart Bid out of a Catienus mare with Danzig and Storm Cat also appearing in his pedigree.

War horse alert! Not just another pretty face, this handsome fellow has also proven to be rugged and durable. He’s been a consistent and steady performer with 52 starts, chalking up 10 wins, with almost a quarter of a million dollars in earnings to his credit. He has a race entry on 11/26/25, so it’s possible that he’ll exceed that threshold. He’s an iron man! And a polite and handsome gentleman to boot!

He, like his stablemates, were already wrapped up for the day when we arrived to his barn mid-morning. We observed an attractive, solid, deep-bodied horse with a powerful and balanced build. He looks like the athlete that he’s already proven himself to be. He’s also got a lovely arched neck and beautiful, very cute face. He was a complete gentleman for his photos and video. A sweet, good boy. We were not informed of nor did we observe any vices or issues. During his video, we noted a relaxed walk with a nice overstep. He’s a cute and efficient mover, displaying a balanced, relaxed, and springy jog step.

Dates Freedom is by American Freedom (a son of Pulpit) with Pleasant Colony on his sire side. He’s out of a Yes Its True mare with Deputy Minister also appearing on his dam side.

If you love a good war horse, this classy boy is worth a look. He’s athletic, with the build and brains that have lent to his proven durability. He’s proven his racing chops and will likely shine just as brightly in his second career. Wouldn’t he be a fun one to take to the RRP makeover with his professional, been-there, done-that attitude? We certainly think so!

In a day full of incredible Jockey Club names, our volunteers agreed that this one was the best! Wine Responsibly was an adorable, sweet gelding who was perfectly behaved for his photo shoot despite the wind and threatening storm.  He is reported to have no vices in his stall and to be very easy to work around.  While he didn’t have a ton of interest in the peppermints our volunteers offered, he surely enjoyed the pats and snuggles from them.

Wine Responsibly is reported to be very, very good to ride.  All business under saddle.  He does have “knees” and his contacts are happy to discuss further with any seriously interested parties.  For his jog video, this sweet boy jogged very politely for his handler.  After, he came back happy to snuggle more, unaffected by the other horses around him that were very excited, demonstrating his level-headed-ness.

Wine Responsibly is by Vino Rosso, who is by the highly desired Curlin, known for athleticism and their good brains.  He is out of an Exchange Rate mare, who also has AP Indy lines, all lending towards this guy’s cool demeanor.  Don’t let this kind, smart guy get away, that with some time and rehab,  may be an excellent, easy lower level mount!

Attention liver chestnut lovers and eventers alike, this big, gorgeous guy is the one for you! English Storm, or Stormy as he is affectionately known as, is a big, athletic dream boat of a guy that has loads of personality to keep you just as entertained on the ground as he does under saddle.  He has a plethora of toys outside of his stall that he absolutely loves, almost as much as he loves his food!  He is reported to be free of vices, though he can be a bit of a playful nipper, but he never does anything to hurt anyone.

Stormy is very good to ride. He can be a bit strong at the track, but that isn’t unusual for big, young, racehorses.  He is reported to be sound with no previous injuries.  His race trainer, who also rides and shows off the track, thinks Stormy would truly excel in the event world, and we do too! But he is fancy enough to get you noticed in any discipline!

Stormy is by Freud, a full brother to Giant’s Causeway by the popular Storm Cat, known for throwing athletic offspring with loads of personality.  He is out of a Flower Alley mare, who is by the great Distorted Humor, known for his offspring who have incredible movement and brains.  Don’t let this gorgeous, fun guy pass you by!

This sweet, pretty girl is a very refined and feminine filly. Her handler just kept telling us what a “nice horse” she is. And after meeting her, we totally agree. Even though it was a chilly and breezy morning, she was perfectly polite and ladylike for her photos and video. We’re told that she’s a “good girl in her stall” without any vices and that she’s also a good girl to ride. Overall, she was described as a generally very straight-forward filly. And that’s exactly what we observed- only three years old, she handled everything that she was asked to do like a pro!

She has a refined and feminine appearance but is well put together. A pretty girl who, once she finishes growing and starts to really fill out, will blossom into a truly lovely mare. She’s also a pretty mover; during her video she displayed relaxed, springy lofty movement with suspension. We could see her show well in a variety of disciplines or be agreeable enough to dabble across several.

This filly sold as a $200K yearling but alas, in her nine starts, she has yet to place on the boards, much less break her maiden. As the season is winding down, her connections feel it is better to move this lovely filly on to a career where she will shine. But she does have an entry on 11/17 if you’d like to see her run before you take her home for the winter! She has an interesting pedigree- Secret Fire is by Flameaway, who is a sone of Scat Daddy with Fusaichi Pegasus also appearing on her sire side. Her dam is by the popular City Zip, with Relaunch / In Reality and Gone West also appearing on her dam side. Lineage that produces athletic sport horses with great, ammy-friendly brains. We think she is an amazing bargain for a quiet, sweet, pretty, young filly! Act quickly, this one is sure to move.

Wine Trail is a thick, gorgeous girl that we think will be just as fun as her name to restart!  This sweet girl was so ready to get her peppermints, but also trying so hard to do exactly as we told her, that some of her photos didn’t come out the greatest.  But we promise, she’s very impressive in person.  She’s reported to have no vices and to be very sweet and easy to work around.

Wine Trail is reported to be good to ride with no funny business.  She’s reported to be sound with no previous injuries.  For her jog video, she tried so, so hard to behave, even though her friend on the walker beside us was getting very, very excited.  But every time, she remained respectful and calmed right back down.  Wine Trail is by Commissioner, who is by AP Indy and out of a Touch Gold mare, all sought after for their trainability and excellent brains.  She is out of a Quiet American mare.  This one is sure to get you noticed in just about any arena!

This sweet, young, pretty filly was a complete lady for us even though we could tell she was a tad nervous; she remained responsive and respectful of her handler. Her trainer gave us her history- she was acquired as a yearling and they have owned her since. We were told that although she’s finally getting the idea about this racing thing and starting to place better, after fifteen starts she has failed to chalk up a win. As such, they think this elegant, still-growing girl might be happier as a show pony. We’re told that she is a very nice girl to work with- and is sound with no vices. She’s reportedly “comfortable and nice” to ride.

We observed a sweet, polite girl who stood patiently for her photos. We liked her underpinning- nice, solid bone and good feet. She’s deep through her body and although she has a leggy and elegant appearance, is solidly built. Young and still growing, we think she’ll mature into a truly lovely mare.

She walked and jogged quietly and displayed cute movement- with a pretty, floaty, springy jog that we could imagine showing well in hunters or dressage.

Staged Conflict is by Fog of War (War Front / Danzig lines) with Sadler Wells, Dynaformer and Roberto on her sire side. She’s out of an Unbridleds Song mare with Unbridled and Fappiano on her dam side.

This adorable young gelding had a lovely dappled coat and a kind eye. He was a cute, friendly, sweet, and super cuddly. A dark, plush teddy bear! We observed a friendly, quiet, polite, and inquisitive horse who was happy to engage with us. We were told that he is “perfect in his stall” with no vices (no crib or weave) and that he is good to ride. He’s generally an all-round, well-mannered, and happy boy. During his photo shoot, he was agreeable and allowed himself to be easily posed. A great choice for anyone looking for an easy-going, moderately-sized horse.

We thought that he had an adorable face, a lovely arched neck, solid build, good feet, and compact balance. During his video, he jogged politely, matching his handler’s pace. We noted cute, floaty, flatter hunter-type movement. He is by Take Charge Indy with AP Indy, Rubiano/ Fappiano, and Blushing Groom appearing on his sire side; he is out of a Drosselmeyer mare with Distorted Humor and Dixieland Band on his dam side.

This is one big, handsome, thick, solid tank of a horse! We admired his wide chest and big, long shoulder. We also thought he had a cute and very sweet face. His handler said that he’s an easy keeper and that “we feed him like a Quarter horse”. We were told that he’s very good in his stall, with no vices, and is easy to handle. We observed a sweet, snuggly, and very affectionate boy. Especially when we brought out the peppermints! He was super-friendly with all the volunteers and stayed calm and quiet while being alert and interested in everything going on around him. He appears to be a very self-assured boy.

For his video, he walked quietly but we swear he had a confident- look-at-me-swagger to his walk. He was happy but remained relaxed and respectful of his handler during his jog. We observed efficient, close to the ground movement.

Rhum Pressure is by Central Banker (Speightstown/ Gone West) out of a Lion Heart mare with Storm Cat and In Reality also appearing on his dam side.

The translation for Loca is “crazy” but this lovely mare is anything but! Instead, we observed a dignified, well-behaved mare with a professional and workmanlike attitude. We’re told that she’s a girl who likes having a job and that she is always game to go to work. She has been a solid performer as a racehorse. Her trainer tells us that she is sound with no vices and a good girl to handle. She’s also reportedly the “nicest, easiest ride”. In fact, the trainer’s teenaged daughter was allowed to get her started this spring. We’re told that she’s calm and balanced enough to work on the buckle, and that she’s also super balanced with effortless lead changes. Like any good mare, she has opinions about things, but she’s not overly mare-ish or difficult.

We liked her balance and proportions- she has a long shoulder, deep body, and beautiful neck. She has a pretty diamond on her pretty face. Her trainer noted that she’s a tad wide and toes out a tiny bit. In her video, we saw a leggy, pretty mover. Her trot has spring and suspension that we could see showing well in either hunters or dressage.

This pretty and well-bred mare sold as a $60K two-year-old and she has a good pedigree for sport or racing. By Malibu Moon, she is out of an Any Given Saturday mare.  She has a race entry for 11/19 if you’d like to see her run before you take her home.

Hello handsome! Calling all of our gray lovers! This season, we’ve posted many lovely gray horses, so what better way to cap off our last weekend of listings than to offer this gorgeous gray? We were immediately smitten with this sweet and beautiful boy, and we can pretty much guarantee that you’ll fall in love with him too.

He has a sweet and beautiful face, with an alert, expressive and kind eye, and a lovely Fabio forelock. He was a super model for his photoshoot, posing easily and quietly. We found him to be very friendly and agreeable. His legs were already wrapped for the day when we arrived at his barn (mid-morning). We were told he’s generally a good horse to work but did observe that he is a cribber, at least when he is at the track. We liked his long, sloping shoulder and very pretty arched neck. We thought he displayed overall nice balance and proportions, making for a versatile sport horse to add to his pleasant demeanor and seemingly ammy-friendly personality.

This sweet gentleman was polite and responsive for his video with a relaxed, sexy swagger to his walk. During his jog, we observed glimpses of pretty daisy cutter movement with nice spring and push from behind that could show well in hunter or dressage rings. Lifetime Guarantee is by Creative Cause (Giants Causeway) with Relaunch and Caro also appearing on his sire side; he is out of a Candy Ride mare with Gone West and Coxs Ridge appearing on his dam side.

Tall, dark and handsome, and well bred… isn’t this how we all like them to be? We were impressed by his strong sloping shoulder and deep girth, clean legs, longer body which is usually associated with jumping ability, and his regal presence and kind eye. His handler who showed him to us said that he is a kind horse, easy to handle. but he prefers the farm life to the track grind.  He is a stall walker in the stressful track environment, but when he was recently sent to a nearby farm to be gelded and enjoy turnout, the more turnout he got the less he stall walked. The people at the farm report that he was a “puppy dog” and one of their favorites.   We were told that the best new home situation for him will be one where he can enjoy as much turnout as possible, and he would probably love 24/7 turnout.  After enjoying a month at the farm to recuperate from being gelded, he was brought back to the track so that we could take his photos and video. Back in the track environment and not having had any exercise in over a month, he was a bit keen for his photo session and jog video on a cold and blustery day, but he was obviously trying so hard to be kind and agreeable for his handler. He showed off very good movement, with spring and good push from behind, and nice reach from his shoulders. We were informed that he is completely sound in the legs and mind, but earlier this year he had tie back surgery that did not succeed in clearing his airway for high speed work and getting him back to his previous level of racing success, and he does make a noise when galloping.  In light of this situation with his airway, an upper level eventing or endurance career, or the hunter ring, are not the best outlets for him.  But lower level eventing, jumpers, trails, hunter paces … all of that is open to him.. And we were informed that another procedure to correct the airway issues is certainly possible and may result in clearing him for any new career. He is very well bred, sired by Violence, who is becoming a top TB sire and is a son of Medaglia D’Oro, from the Sadler’s Wells sire line, and a highly sought after sire in the sport horse world.  His dam is sired by First Dude, who is an AP Indy grandson out ofan Unbridled’s Song mare,  and is known for great brained offspring who are sound, durable, kind,  willing, and athletic. With this great sport horse pedigree, and his kind personality and big size and good looks, Violent Swing is well worth taking a chance on at a bargain price for lower level disciplines… and if you do surgery to correct the initial tie back that was not successful, you might even wind up with a great upper level horse in many disciplines.

WOW, we think this big beautiful young gelding is one of the nicest sport horse prospects we have listed this season. His handler who showed him to us raved about him, saying he is the sweetest and kindest horse, that he has known him since he was a two-year old, and that he has always been one of his favorites and is a very sound horse who has never had any issues and has no vices. He said that Kid Kreesa is so sweet and kind that he could be a kid’s horse, with proper retraining.  But we think he can also excel in the show hunter or jumper ring, or in eventing. We admired his uphill build, dappled shiny coat, kind, intelligent and alert eye. He has a classy presence about him. Kid Kreesa was a perfect gentleman for his photo session and jog video, posing like a model on a chilly blustery morning that had many other horses fidgeting and prancing and needing lip chains. He jogged politely and displayed very good movement, even, balanced, and with good hind end engagement and nice reach from the shoulder.  Kid Kreesa has done most of his racing on the turf, and has won and been competitive in state bred allowance level races at Saratoga and Belmont — this shows that he is a classy horse. But after breaking his maiden this year, and having to race against winner this season, he has not fared as well. The turf racing season is over in NY until next spring, and his trainer realizes that there will not be many state bred distance turf races offered that he can be competitive in next year, so it is best to let him move on to a new career while he is still a sound and happy horse. Research has demonstrated that horses who have run well on the turf, and with turf oriented pedigrees, make the best eventers in their off the track careers — and we can see Kid Kreesa adding to that documented record of success! He has an excellent pedigree for sport. He is sired by Big Brown, who is from the Danzig sire line, and who has several offspring doing well in eventing, dressage, and hunter/jumper careers.  His dam Lady Kreesa is sired by Stonesider, a son of Giant’s Causeway. We have placed several Stonesdier offspring into successful eventing and show hunter careers, and they have proved to be lovely movers and very good jumpers. Based on his pedigree, build, and movement we think that Kid Kreesa should be a very good jumper who could excel at eventing, and he has the movement and demeanor and looks to stand out in the hunter ring.

When they brought Goldini out of his stall our first thoughts were “classy and good looking horse!”  Then when we looked up the racing record of this son of Goldencents, we know why that was our first impression — this is indeed a classy guy with a distinguished race record.  He has earned 7 wins, 6 seconds, and 6 thirds in his 51 race career, with $230,000 in earnings.  And his trainer says he is still sound, and his legs are tight and clean.  Horses with this kind of heart and work ethic and durable soundness are just the types to go on to have great sport horse careers. He started his racing career at Santa Anita running on the turf, and then he moved to NY where he continued to win on the turf at Belmont and Saratoga.  But he is also a winner on the dirt — he has done it all.  Horses with good turf racing ability make great eventers!  We admired Goldini’s elegant intelligent a,demeanor, his good bone, strong shoulder and deep heart girth balanced by strong hindquarters. with a higher neckset. He has the build of an athlete, and his record certainly demonstrates that athleticism. We spoke to his exercise rider, who says he is very nice to ride, that he does everything his rider asks and goes nicely into a frame while staying light.  Everyone in the barn kept saying what a nice horse he is, very sensible,  no vices, and his groom said he was great to work around. He posed like a gentleman for his photo session and jogged politely, displaying light and even balanced movement.  His sire Goldencents is known for siring very levelheaded ammy friendly horses who are good jumpers and movers.  We know more than a few eventers and show hunter riders who covet the Goldencents horses!  Goldini’s dam is by Bernardini, and she is a stakes producer out of a multiple stakes winning mare who earned over $1 million on the track. Quality pedigree, quality racing record, quality horse!

If thick, beefy, and bay is on your checklist, then look no further than Busting Credit! This gentleman is currently at his contact’s farm enjoying the beginnings of his post track life.  He is reported to be fantastic in turnout with others and can live inside or outside. At the track, he did walk his stall a very little, but he does not do that at the farm.  He is reported to have no other vices and is just overall a lovely creature to be around.  He comes from a barn where they are all peppermint and snuggle trained, so you can be sure this guy will try to melt your heart on these upcoming cold days.

Busting Credit is reported to be great to ride and easy to gallop. He is also clearly easy to jog, as evidenced by the video his contact sent us.  Busting Credit’s contacts believe that he would be a straightforward restart and will make a great partner for any discipline. Busting Credit is by Bustin Stones, who is by City Zip, who’s offspring are sought after for their excellent brains and movement.  He is out of a Secret Ibis mare with His Majesty lines.  Busting Credit is ready to come be your next show mount or best friend, so don’t let him pass you by!

As she showed Trojan Mule to us, his trainer gushed about how much she loves him — he’s a “loveable goober,” she said, with a fun personality. She said he is a very sweet horse, loves to interact with people, has no vices, and is sound with no issues. He won us over too, especially when we watched him jog — he is a beautiful mover, light, flowing, and efficient. He is a handsome guy, with a kind eye, and an uphill build that suggests athleticism.  He is lightly raced, with ten starts this year, with one win, two seconds, and one third. Despite his 50% in the money record, his trainer says he does not run at a high enough class level to make it worth bringing him back to race next year.  He has excellent potential for many new careers, however! He has a great sport horse pedigree, and we can see him rocking it in the eventing world. But with his movement dressage or show hunters would also be great new outlets for him.  His sire is Army Mule, who is an A P Indy grandson. His dam, Beautiful Helen is a daughter of Prime Timber, who is from the great Cox’s Ridge sport horse/jumping sire line. Prime Timber stood in NY for many years, and many of his offspring went on to successful careers in eventing and fox hunting. Don’t pass this plain bay gem by!

“Vaunted” means “highly or widely praised,” and that certainly fits this horse!  His trainer kept saying more and more good things about him — best brain, great to work with, can even groom and tack him up in the stall untied, lovely to gallop, sound with no vices.  When he came out of the barn, we oohed over his solid bodied build, and for a plain bay he exudes presence.  One of our volunteers said “this horse is sexy and he knows it!”  Vaunted also impressed us with his great movement, showing off a light trot with good reach from his shoulders and nice engagement from behind. We can see him excelling in the hunter ring, or in dressage, but he can go in any direction you want to take him in his new career.  His great temperament is no surprise when you consider his breeding — he is by Goldencents, a sire well known for getting very ammy friendly horses who are good jumpers and good movers.  His dam Dancing for Glory is by Exchange Rate, from Danzig and Seeking the Gold lines.  Vaunted has ten top three finishes in 25 starts, but he hasn’t been as successful in his races this year, so he is letting his connections know he would prefer a new career. Don’t  overlook this sexy guy just because he is a plain bay — those of us who have them know plain bays are the best!

Our volunteers adore this good-hearted, kind and quiet mare, and we urge you to open your heart and barn to her to give her the soft landing she so richly deserves.  Like her stablemate Banco Medici, she needs to find a good home ASAP, since her elderly owner/trainer is facing serious health issues and he cannot keep his horses through the winter. Traci’s Girl has been with him since she was three, and has been like his beloved pet. We’re confident she will bond with you like she has bonded with him — this is the type of mare that wants to love her person and be loved in return, and she will give you her all. We can see her winning the Iron Horse award at the RRP next year — competitive trail, dressage, hunters, ranch, we think she could do anything you want. She showed us how unflappable she is when right after her trainer brought her out of the barn, another trainer brought out a horse that was doing his best bucking bronco imitation, and Traci’s Girl didn’t even flinch and just stood there placidly. Her trainer tried to jog her at his slow shuffle, and dear kind Traci just shuffled right along with him.  But we could tell that she had some fancy moves to offer if she were asked to pick up the pace, so one of our volunteers then offered to jog her, and she was a perfect angel to handle.  On a long loose lead she did whatever we asked and showed off a pretty flowing trot. Her trainer said she has always been very sound and has never had any issues or injuries. She has been very durable, with 70 starts spread out over her eight years of racing— and her legs are still nice and clean. She has enjoyed winters off at her owner/trainer’s farm, and he says she is great to handle and good in turnout.  He told us that he has also taught her to self load, and she walks right on and off the trailer like an angel. Traci’s Girl has a great pedigree for sport endeavors. Her sire Posse is from Deputy Minister and Blushing Groom lines, and he has sired several horses that we know have gone on to nice careers in eventing, hunter/jumpers, and dressage.  Her dam is by Golden Missile, a son of AP Indy, and she is out of a Gone West mare.  Deputy Minister, Blushing Groom, AP Indy and Gone West are right at the top of sire lines that sport horse people seek out!  We urge you not to overlook this war horse mare just because she is older — she still has so much to give.

This super friendly quiet and sweet gelding needs to find a great new home quickly, because his track owner/trainer is facing very serious health problems. So if you are ready and able to open your heart and home to help out both  a very sweet kind horse with so much to give, and a caring owner who  is heartbroken that he can no longer keep his beloved horses, then please give the very deserving Banco Medici a great new home! This lovely horse is a true diamond in the rough, and we are urging you to open your heart and home to him –quickly!  The owner/trainer says that Banco Medici is very quiet, sensible, well behaved, friendly and loving, quiet to ride,  great on the farm to handle and in turn out. We could see the bond between them.  He also said that Banco Medici is great to load and trailer, and he has trained him to self-load — he takes him back and forth from his farm to the track all the time.  Banco Medici was very friendly with us and loved our attention and peppermints. He does have an old set osselet on his right front ankle, which his owner/trainer says he had when he claimed him three years ago. He has raced and won with that osselet, so at this point is it cosmetic, and not any impediment to any new sport horse career.  On the day we took his photos, he had a sprung shoe on a hind foot, and it was obviously bothering him, yet despite that he jogged like the kind and willing  sweetheart that he is for his shuffling owner/trainer,  and we could see that when he is properly shod he will be quite the lovely mover!  We think that Banco Medici will be able to go in any new career direction you want, from trails, hunter paces, fox hunting, lower level eventing, local hunter shows — you name it. Banco Medici is by Cupid, who is a son of Tapit from the Pulpit/AP Indy line. His dam is by Citidancer, a son of Dixieland Band.

“Someone is going to be very lucky to get this wonderful horse,” gushed his trainer as we took Reckless Place’s listing information. She said he’s a “very good boy,” always does what you ask, is friendly, sound, and has no vices. She said that someone at the track is interested in making him a pony horse because of his sensible brain and good work ethic, but she would rather see him go on to a new off track career. While he has won 4 races and had 21 top three finishes in his 48 start career, this year he has not been running as well, so she knows it is time to let him move on to new endeavors. We admired his handsome head and kind eye and his nicely balanced build, and we observed good feet and clean legs.  He showed nice even movement for his jog video. His trainer recommends an experienced rider who knows how to transition an OTTB to a new career, because he is “all go” galloping on the track. She reports that on the farm he settles right down, and has even been taught to free lunge, including changing direction. She says he is a smart horse and should quickly figure out that his new career is not “go go go” and will do whatever the rider asks.  Reckless Place is by Shanghai Bobby, a son of Harlan’s Holiday. His dam is by Smarty Jones out of a Holy Bull mare. In our experience, the Harlan’s Holiday line horses are big hearted hard trying horses, and we know of several Smarty Jones and Holy Bull line horses that have gone on to success in the hunter and jumper rings.

There are lovely grays, and then there is the rare, elusive unicorn. Big, handsome, good moving, super-friendly, sensible, young, meticulously well cared for…. he left our volunteers drooling! How do we love him? Let us count the ways. First, he flirted shamelessly with us when we met him in his stall while we chatted with his trainer. We were told that he loves attention and that’s what we observed as he snuggled with us for affection. We admired his good looks and friendly personality. A total lovebug.

He’s said to be good in his stall, with no vices, sound, and nice to ride. His trainer describes him as a “really kind horse” who is sensitive, sensible, and adapts well to new situations. Image of Quality was agreeable for his photos shoot, perhaps enjoying the attention a little too much, but allowed us to position him easily. We admired his athletic build- deep chest, long shoulder and powerful hindquarters. He’s a gorgeous horse with presence.

He jogged politely for his trainer displaying relaxed, springy, rhythmic, even, and athletic movement. We observed a relaxed, happy, and good feeling horse who will shine in any show ring.

Image of Quality is by Frank Conversation (Quality Road / Gone West) lines out of a Disco Rico mare so he also has breeding for sport from lines that produce athletic, good moving horses. He does currently have a race entry for 11/17/25 if you’d like to see him race before you bring him home. But act quickly- this unicorn is sure to move fast.

Price: $5,000 (neg.)

This beautiful, lovely moving, sweet and ammy friendly young gelding had our volunteers drooling — our show hunter volunteer was ready to snap him up, as was our dressage volunteer … but we have kindly allowed our FLF followers to have the opportunity to bring this great young horse into your stable!  His trainer, who is usually laconic ( a person of few words), had a lot to say — all great — about him.  It was obvious to us that she really liked this guy and that his personality had won her over. As we admired his solid bone, beautiful head and balanced build, and plied him with peppermints, she praised him as a lovely quiet and friendly horse who is great to handle and good to ride, who does not even need to be tied in his stall to groom or tack up, and has no vices and is sound.  But while he is a beautiful, great moving, sweet and excellent sport horse prospect, what he is not is a racehorse. He has yet to win a race in 16 starts, although he has 3 second place finishes this year.  As we like to say, racing’s loss is your gain.  A Knight’s Courage enjoyed our attention for his photo session and showed us how friendly and in your pocket he is.  For his jog video, he showed flat kneed reach and excellent engagement from behind for his trot, leaving both our show hunter volunteer and our dressage volunteer proclaiming that they LOVED him for their respective disciplines. A Knight’s Courage is sired by Bourbon Courage, who is from the Lion Heart/Tale of the Cat sire line that is known for ammy friendly horses with great brains, great movement, and excellent jumping ability. His dam is by Include, a son of Broad Brush that represents stout TB lines that have been very successful in jumping sports. This guy is a definite volunteer favorite, and we are going to be envious of the lucky person who gets him, and we hope you will keep us apprised of how he is doing in hi new career.

Dark bay and dappled? Say no more!

Bad Luck Babe is anything but. Affectionately called “Luella” at the barn, this stunning 3 year old just didn’t prove to be a runner. Her trainer said she would seem a little sore in the knees/ankles after a workout and therefore decided to stop training to prevent anything from happening (x-rays were negative).

With just a handful of exercise rides, this athletic and enthusiastic girl is ready to go in any direction (hello, eventers!), though we recommend a more experienced OTTB handler due to her young age. Babe is reported as having no stall vices, being good in turnout, shows great feet, and can we say gorgeous?? How could you pass up this young, unraced beauty for such a low price! Bad Luck Babe is out of Enticed by a Wildnexcitable mare.

Bustin Pietre is applying for the title of Mr. Personality! This barn favorite is full of red head sass, but never in a mean way, just in a “please notice me way”, and how can you miss a guy this good looking! According to his connections, Pietre’s only vice is that at the track, he weaves ever so slightly, but he does not do it at the farm. He is otherwise easy to work around and is fantastic at the farm and in turn out.

Pietre is reported to be sound and to have no past injuries. He is reported to be very good to gallop and ride on the track. He truly enjoyed the attention while being posed for his photo shoot. Despite the cold, blustery day, Pietre showed off his swagger at the walk and his floaty, flat-kneed jog. He was very attentive to his handler.

Bustin Pietre is by Bustin Stones, a son of City Zip known for having fantastic brains and gorgeous movement. He is out of an Its No Joke mare, who is by Distorted Humor, known for athleticism and for being amateur friendly. Don’t miss this flashy, fancy guy that is full of personality!

If you’re looking for a tank of a horse that would prefer cuddling over running really fast, then Flash Kiss is your guy! This boy is full of character as evidenced by the slew of toys outside his stall. Kisses is reported to be free of vices and just an easy guy to work around and a joy to have in his stall.

Kisses is reported to be sound with no previous injuries. He is a straightforward ride, always behaves, and is easily mounted from hay bales. Kisses’ connections cannot say enough good things about this boy, he just isn’t fast. For his photo shoot he enjoyed the volunteers fussing over him. For his video, while he showed off his playful nature at the beginning, he settled and jogged politely even on a windy cool day! He demonstrated a flat-kneed, toe pointing jog.

Flash Kiss is by Chitu, who is by Henny Hughes and an AP Indy mare, both known for throwing offspring with ammy friendly brains and athleticism. He is out of an Orientate mare, who also hails from the Gone West lines. This is one adorable, fun, flashy guy that is sure to get you noticed in just about any arena!
