PS He's Perfect

7-year-old Bay Gelding

"PS He's Perfect" is a 7-year-old, 15.1 hand gelding. This fine-boned guy raced last year but was starting to stress his legs so his owner let him stop to give him a chance as a pleasure horse. After giving his legs a rest, he is just starting under saddle. He raced as a pacer but trots and canters when free.

Perfect is a cute guy and will be nice for a small rider. Keep looking for Facebook updates as his training progresses.  Adoption fee: $900-$1300.

Jin raced as a pacer up. This gelding has settled into his new lifestyle away from the track. He is 15.3 hands. After an extensive evaluation, we have decided the best option for Jin Dandy is as a companion horse. He is a gentle fellow and not dominant with other horses. Minimal adoption fee: $600, negotiable for an exceptional home.

Mapple Bi

13-year-old Bay Mare

"Maple" is a 13-year-old, 15 hand Standardbred mare who is in training with Horses With Hope in Hope, Maine. Maple raced in harness as a trotter, not a pacer, until the age of six when she was retired to begin a new career as a broodmare. She has since had five foals, and now that all of the kids are grown she is ready for the next chapter in life. Upon initial evaluation, Maple appears to be a sweet and sensible mare who enjoys attention and takes it all in stride. We look forward to working more with this lovely lady and will be sure to post updates on her progress. Adoption fee: $600-$1300.

Blue

13-year-old Bay Gelding

Our friends at Horses With Hope in Hope, Maine, are working with a 16.1 hand Standardbred gelding named Blue. Originally a trotter in California. Blue ended up in a neglected condition and in need of some serious TLC, and he is definitely getting it!
Blue seems better suited to riding and ring work than to driving.
He is a handsome, sensitive gelding with great manners on the ground. Blue came with some discomfort and was under-muscled, but after a couple of months of conditioning, bodywork, and the addition of shoes, he has become much more comfortable.
Blue has had extensive work in-hand and long-lining to help him relax and soften. He is currently being ridden about 3 times a week at the walk and trot in the arena and is gaining confidence with a rider. He has also ventured out, showing great potential on the trails with a steady friend for company.
Interested in Blue or know someone who is? You can find the Horses With Hope application on their website with a bit more information about Blue.
