There is a total of $100,000 up for grabs!

Our second selection this week is Dance World, a real war horse available for adoption through New Vocations. This guy raced 86 times from 2006 until September of 2014 and was even ranked #53 by wins in 2013 and 77th in 2009. He brought home earnings totaling about $120,000, so he’s earned himself a good new home. Dance World (Atticus – La Musette, by Bounding Basque) is a 2004 model standing 15.2 hands and enjoys having a job rather than just hanging out in a pasture. He’s said to have a real workmanlike attitude, which should translate well into his retraining.
