Standardbreds Available For Adoption
Application To Adopt
Adoption fees start at $600 and are driven by expenses incurred while retraining, transporting, housing, and providing medical care for the horse. These horses are learning their balance under a rider and usually need an intermediate rider. Most have been shod their whole lives and may need to remain shod for their continued comfort. Some can canter, but many cannot. Please take these facts into consideration so together we can make good matches for these horses.
Not My First Rodeo
11-year-old Bay Gelding
"Not My First Rodeo" is a 15.2 hand, 11-year-old Standardbred gelding. 'Roady' raced until just this past spring and was a favorite of his former owner and trainer. When it became clear that Roady was ready to slow things down a little, his trainer submitted an application to FFS, and he was accepted into our program.
Roady is being fostered with Horses with Hope but has already impressed them with his lovely manners and calm, friendly demeanor. He displays a gorgeous big trot out in the field, and really appreciates a good grooming. Keep looking for Facebook updates as his training progresses. Adoption fee: $600-$1200.
