There’s no way that I need a new horse, but that doesn’t mean that I can’t constantly stalking OTTB listings, right? I’m loving these three beauties, and they’re definitely on my wishlist! Some of the nicest horses I’ve ever sat on are Thoroughbreds, and their natural athleticism can’t be beat. Let’s see what’s out there!

Attention all West Coast OTTB fans: Chuck’s Chuckle is young, lightly raced, and very easy on the eyes! Chuck’s Chuckle is 3 year old gelding that stands about 16 hands. His trainer reports he is a bit body sore but otherwise has not had any soundness issues. Chuck raced 11 times, placing second twice, but only earning $5,350. His trainer feels that he’s just not into the whole racing thing, but he would make a wonderful hunter/jumper or eventing prospect.
Chuck has some interesting bloodlines too, for those pedigree enthusiasts out there. He is by Grey Memo by Lady Elizabeth (Snuck In). Mostly, let’s talk about that beautiful conformation! Chuck is located at Golden Gate Fields.

For our second listing, we’re playing the other side of the country, for a big beautiful boy in Pennsylvania is sure to steal your heart. Of Two Minds is the big bay gelding that you’ve all been looking for. By Cetewayo out of Mindful (Power of Mind), “Twoey” is a homebred who raced on twice, and was retired due to his slowness and his size.
Bonus to that is Twoey has already been back on the family farm, enjoying turnout and regular riding out in the big open fields. He even jumps cross rails! He’s ready to go straight to work as an Eventer, a Fox Hunter or a Hunter/Jumper. Great home a must!

My last listing of the day goes out to all the chestnut thoroughbred mares out there suffering from CTM stereotyping. The sweetest mare I ever owned and rode was a CTM! Frazier’s Pegasus is royally bred, by Fusaichi Pegasus out of Sandstorm Cat (Tale of the Cat). Looking at her pedigree, she’s got gold and purple blood, but only three wins and $33,172 to her name.
At four years old and 16 hands, this mare last raced in August and will need some down time in a pasture to recuperate from her racing career. She has a solid build, clean legs, and nice feet. She’s a smart and athletic mare, and will require an experienced adopter to help her transition into a new career.
