Weekly OTTB Wishlist from Cosequin

There are so many quality Thoroughbreds looking for new homes each day, it’s supremely difficult to pick just a few of them to feature this week. Thanks to the efforts of organizations such as CANTER, New Vocations, Recycled Racehorses, and many more, these horses are getting a chance at a second career after their time on the track is up.

Time after time, you’ll hear event riders endorsing the OTTB as their breed of choice — why not join the ranks yourself? Don’t forget: the Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover is still accepting entries! You can find more information here. Happy shopping!

For all of you Texans out there, this one’s for you! Dapper Devil is a 9-year-old, 16.1hh gelding — but don’t let his age scare you away! He’s described as a “been there, done that” type of guy and raced 73 times, earning almost $350,000 with 30 placings. Not too shabby!

Dapper Devil (Crafty C.T.Due Elegance, by Devil His Due) is available through CANTER Texas and is ready to move onto a great second home. Click here to visit his listing.

We’re re-listing this handsome guy, Fotografia, who had his adoption fall through and is now back with Finger Lakes Finest. Fotografia (Western Expression – Picture, by Roar) is 8 years old and stands 16.3-17hh. He’s already got some retraining under his belt, so you’ll get a head start with this quiet and handsome guy! You can find more information by visiting Finger Lakes Finest here.

Our last horse this week is available for adoption through New Vocations in Lexington, Kentucky. Conga Forty (Congaree Yahk Forty, by Lear Fan) is a 4-year-old mare standing 15.1 1/2hh. She raced just three times and retired sound, although a trailer accident left her with some scarring on her right hind leg. It’s said that the scarring will not affect soundness if kept protected.

“Conga” looks like she’s got that competitive gleam that many of us are always looking for — she’s sure to not last long! Visit her listing on New Vocations here.
