OTTBs are among the most prominently represented breed in the eventing world. Each day, hundreds of ex-racehorses find themselves at the end of their racing career and in need of a new home. Luckily, organizations such as CANTER, New Vocations, Recycled Racehorses, and many more are always on alert for new horses that are ready for second careers. Each week, we'll be bringing you a few OTTB ads that caught our eye. Keep an eye out here for your next eventing superstar!
How is your New Year starting off, EN? We all make resolutions, whether they’re big or small, and it’s a great time to reflect on the last 365 days and make plans for taking 2015 by storm. If your resolution includes finding a new partner for the new year, we’ve got a couple to jump start your search. Go OTTBs!
TwentyCaratsorMore (Northern Afleet – Twenty Carats, by Judge T C) is the first listing for this week. She’s a 2010 mare with a sweet personality and a level head. She raced 30 times, with her last race on Sept. 27, 2014. She hit the board nine times, earning a total of $24,994 before retiring sound and suitable for any discipline.
TwentyCaratsorMore is stabled in Chardon, Ohio, and is looking for her forever home! Check out CANTER Ohio for more information.
Next up is a handsome chestnut in the form of Classic Stance (Corinthian – Mykindasaint, by Saint Ballado), a 2010 16.1-hand gelding offered through the Retired Racehorse Project. This guy has a relation to champion racehorses such as Saint Liam and Ashado through Saint Ballado, and he raced 13 times before retiring.
Classic Stance was retired with mild arthritic changes in his knees and has been let down since October 2014 at a farm in Christianna, Pennsylvania. He would be a great project for someone, and in many cases arthritic changes are managed easily.
He is available for adoption through Turning For Home. Click here to view his adoption ad on Retired Racehorse Project’s website.
Lastly, check out this lovely 2010 mare, Cats Last Tango (Fantasticat – Timeless Tango, by Gilded Time). This girl is available through CANTER Mid Atlantic and raced 29 times before retiring sound. She earned just over $24,000 and has had some letdown time for the past 30 days. She’s ready to start her new career — hopefully as an eventer!
Cats Last Tango stands 16.1 hands and has an eye-catching look to her that’s sure to impress in the show ring. Check out her listing on CANTER Mid Atlantic here and bring her home today!
