ADOPTED C06-2200-11. CANTER-OWNED MARE, Chestnut, 15.3 hands, 6 years old
"Anna La La" is as fun as her name would suggest: this is a friendly, happy, sweet-natured horse! Anna has been off the track for 2 years and has really blossomed in foster care. (Her foster mom ADORES her, was even leaning towards keeping her, but reluctantly decided she has more than enough Suffolk Downs "alums" already!) Anna's only issue is that her feet can sometimes bug her (she has thin hoof walls), so she will need a good farrier to make sure her hooves are in great shape. However, Anna runs around the pasture like she's aiming for a racing career all over again (we don't have the heart to tell her she wasn't exactly a world beater when she WAS racing), and is looking and feeling great. Anna is the alpha mare with other horses, and needs to be turned out alone (alongside another horse over the fenceline), or with a docile pasturemate. She is inquisitive and intelligent. Though she is green under saddle, she should retrain easily as a show or pleasure prospect.

ADOPTED C07-2239-05. CANTER-OWNED MARE, Bright bay, 15.3 hands (with a wide-bodied build), 18 years old  
"Southern Luck" - aka "Luckie" - is a quality mare in every way: she's gorgeous, with a classic, Warmblood-type build; gentle and exceptionally well-mannered; and a fluid, pretty mover! You would think upon meeting her that this beauty is 8 - not 18! Though she has spent the past several years as a broodmare, Luckie has really found her niche as a riding horse. She should make an outstanding dressage, pleasure or trail horse under saddle. This mare is SO special that her foster mom's young daughter hopped on her within days of Luckie arriving from her old home at the breeding farm; Luckie took to it in stride! Luckie has many years ahead of her as a trusty dressage and/or pleasure horse (she is very sound and feels great, but not suitable for open jumping, eventing, or similarly strenuous disciplines). She would love to be someone's devoted buddy for lower-level shows, as well as for jaunts on the trails and the beach!

SOLD T07-2284-08. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING, Bright bay, 15.3 hands, 6 years old
"Silky Fredie" is a mahogany-coated gentleman with a darling face and a very athletic physique. Trainer bred and raised this boy, and you can tell he's been treated exceptionally well his entire life. Fredie is sound, "never had an issue" per trainer - just not earning his keep racing, so he's now ready to learn how to be a show horse. Price Reduced: $2,000 negotiable. Call Dale Salim, 508-285-7473.

SOLD 2009: BACK IN THE LISTINGS! T08-2489-07. TRAINER-OWNED STALLION, Bay, 16.2 hands, 5 years old
"Love of Chocolate" is a BIG, gorgeous Mr. Prospector grandson who only made a couple of starts during his racing career...he was just too slow. An outrider at the track took him on last year to become a "pony" horse, escorting runners to the starting gate, and Chocolate spent the entire winter learning the ropes under saddle. Owner reluctantly selling only because Chocolate is proving too mellow to pony at the track...he's a very relaxed, laid-back fellow who'd be thrilled to be someone's show prospect or pleasure buddy instead. Although he's a stallion, Chocolate is as non-studdish a guy as you'll ever find; has been stabled right next door to mares without batting an eye. He neck reins, trail rides, loves people, and has no vices. Note: CANTER volunteers were at the track recently and saw Pete hop on Chocolate bareback, with only a leadrope, to ride him in the shedrow. He had not been on the horse all week and he behaved perfectly! We were pretty impressed! Young, showy, and ready to move on to greener pastures! Price: $1,000. NEW PHONE NUMBER: Call Pete Cimini at 401-465-9057. 

SOLD T08-2552-10. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING, Black (or very, very close to it), 16.2 hands, 6 years old
"Patton's Pistol" - who goes by "Baby Boy" around the barn - is so endearing, you'll be comparing him to the Black Beauty you always dreamed of. This sweet horse is blind in one eye, due to an accident as a foal, but has never been hampered by it and is excellent under saddle. He is a sensational mover and trainer says he "loves having a job, just going out there and working." Is sound on an old, set, very slight bowed tendon. Price Reduced: MAKE AN OFFER: very negotiable to a great home. In Delaware but still for sale! Call Richard at 240-372-9761 or Glenda at 301-758-9923 (please leave a message if you get voice mail). 

SOLD T08-2553-10. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING, Mahogany bay, 16.3 hands (and growing!), 4 years old
"Sunny Somewhere" is a total blank slate - he's never raced, and is primed to start retraining for a new career. Big and well on his way to getting still bigger, this youngster has personality plus and is an impressive mover, to boot. Price Reduced: MAKE AN OFFER: very negotiable to a great home. In Delaware but still for sale! Call Richard at 240-372-9761 or Glenda at 301-758-9923 (please leave a message if you get voice mail). 

SOLD T08-2565-10. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING, Dark bay, 15.2 hands (and growing!), 4 years old
Look how proud "Delaware Bound" is under tack, and rightfully so. This is a very fancy little gelding - he looks much bigger than his 15.2 hands under saddle, and as he's only 4, should continue to grow. His trainer is also a competitive eventing rider, and raves about Delaware's nimble way of going and great brain. She recognizes that he's a far better sporthorse prospect than a racehorse, and he has spent a very productive winter on the farm...where we're hearing he is an "awesome ride, already popping over crossrails, does everything asked of him with talent and enthusiasm!" Would make an excellent show horse for a child or smaller adult! PRICE REDUCED: MAKE AN OFFER - open to any and all offers, but must be TB-experienced and have references! Contact Jenny Young at 978-758-0631 or jenny.young@live.com.

SOLD T08-2567-10. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING, Bay, 15.3 hands, 7 years old
"I'm No Brat" has a cheeky name that perfectly matches his bright, fun-loving personality. Trainer loves this horse and dotes on him like a big pet: "he is just so sweet, and always tries his hardest." Brat has been ridden on the farm, and has easily picked up basic w/t/c; he should be a quick study to keep advancing under saddle. Trainer selling regretfully...can't afford to lay him up over the winter, and wants to find him a loving home now. He's built like a little QH and is a total snuggle bug! Price Reduced: $1,500, very negotiable to the right person; make an offer! very negotiable to the right person; make an offer! Can be seen on the farm in Vermont. Call Kerry Reynolds, 603-548-3870. 

SOLD T08-2586-10. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING, Dark bay, 16.1 hands (and still growing!), 4 years old
"Silent Weapon" is a horse who knows how to take a picture: look how perfectly he posed. Just recently arrived in trainers' barn, and they're working on fattening him up a bit; he's already very handsome, and a lovely mover, too. Trainers think he's going to be a far better sporthorse than racehorse, and should transition to a new career with aplomb. In Delaware but still for sale! PRICE REDUCED: MAKE AN OFFER - must sell! Call Richard at 240-372-9761 or Glenda at 301-758-9923 (please leave a message if you get voice mail).
SOLD T08-2630-11. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING, Bay, 15.2 hands, 8 years old
"Smoke n' Vote" is a blocky, great-looking gelding who seems much bigger than his 15.2 hands. He could easily take up a longer-legged rider, and he has the endurance and work ethic to go all day! Smokey has been an outstanding racehorse for his connections, but he's getting bored with the track, and it's time for him to find a new career. VERY important to his owner and trainer that he retire sound and healthy, and an excellent home is a must...they adore this horse. Price: $3,999 negotiable. Call Billy Lagorio at 617-593-2982 or Janelle at 978-994-8331.

ADOPTED C07-2639-11. CANTER-OWNED GELDING,  Dark Bay, 16.1 hands, 5 years old
"S.W. Duce" came into the world as a member of racing royalty: bred and born in the Kentucky bluegrass, his sire, Behrens, earned nearly $5 million on the track. Hopes were high for Duce, and he showed considerable talent when he began his racing career. Unfortunately, Duce was hindered by knee chips that emerged in the midst of his 3-year-old campaign. Surgery to remove the chips did not help - new chips immediately reappeared, and Duce was unable to compete at his previous level. Soon after he pulled up in what would prove to be his final race at Suffolk Downs, his trainer, Bobby Raymond, approached CANTER. Because Duce had so much heart, Bobby explained, he ran through the pain in his knee in an effort to give his all...and his trainer and owner (who had owned Duce since babyhood, even naming him after his own father) were afraid that it was only a matter of time before he severely injured himself. In an effort to look out for their horse, they donated him to CANTER. 

Duce is a perfect gentleman (clearly knowing how a blueblood should act!), and made the transition to farm life with aplomb. His foster parents can't say enough good about him; he's like a big dog, following his foster dad around and loving nothing more than to be brushed and fussed over. He also gets quite a kick out of watching the deer that occasionally show up on the property! Duce was initially believed unlikely to come riding sound. However, he is now moving very well out in the pasture and his foster mom's vet is hopeful that he will be able to start trying out life as a flatwork/trail horse come spring. He is just about the nicest, most low-key companion you'll ever find. We have faith that someone will fall in love with this handsome gentleman and make him theirs. Who wouldn't want royalty in their backyard, after all??

ADOPTED C08-2640-11. CANTER-OWNED MARE, Chestnut, 16.1 hands, 5 years old
"Joshie Man" has a rather unfortunate name, given that she's no "man" - she's actually a lovely, elegant mare! 16.1 hands of playful exuberance and showy moves, Joshie just entered CANTER's adoption program at the close of the 2008 Suffolk meet. She has swelling in the tendon of her left front ankle that causes her to move stiffly when she first gets going, but she trots out very, very nicely after "warming up," and we are hopeful she will make a full recovery with time off over the winter. Joshie didn't do much on the racetrack, and like a lot of horses at claiming tracks across the country, she didn't have many options for a future as a racehorse. Thankfully, her trainer was willing to donate Joshie to us to ensure that she'd have plenty of time to heal and a chance to learn a new job down the line. We're eagerly anticipating what this athletic mare will be capable of once she's had some well-earned downtime!

ADOPTED C09-2641-02. CANTER-OWNED GELDING, Liver chestnut, 16.2 hands (and still growing!), 4 years old
"Here Comes Forrest" is a beautifully bred young gelding who just never amounted to much on the track. He's now all let down and enjoying himself on the farm (NOTE: Forrest is currently located in South Carolina - but Northeast-based trainer will transport him to New England for the right, approved adopter). This guy is a TALL drink of water with big, turf-horse feet. He's been started under saddle and loves the trails; rides quietly, is bold and forward, and handles cars, hounds, and farm machinery with aplomb...even self-loads onto the trailer! Regular rider describes him as "light on the aides, has a soft mouth - goes in a Herm Sprenger KK Ultra snaffle. Will go English and Western; can easily see him showing at the lower levels." Forrest is pinfired, but is cute and sound...and did we mention, fun?

SOLD T09-2642-05. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING, Gray, 16 hands (and growing!), 4 years old
"Unfinishedbusiness" is a dappled gray gentleman with textbook good looks, and it's no wonder; he's a Kentucky-bred son of hot stallion Buddha, and sold for $140,000 as a yearling. Trainer describes him as "a super nice guy - easy to gallop, easy to work with," and he was a consummate professional during his photo shoot. This handsome young boy bowed his left front tendon in his most recent race, and will need stall rest and TLC while it heals...but give him the summer off to recuperate, and he should be a fantastic retraining project by fall. Price: $500 to an excellent home only - NO DEALERS. Call Jeri at 978-490-8921.

SOLD T09-2643-06. TRAINER-OWNED MARE, Gray/roan, 15.3 hands, 4 years old
"Raspberry Girl" is a beautiful youngster with rocking-horse coloring...sweet, uncomplicated, and kind, she's just not making it at the track. Trainer doesn't have the money to keep her in race training, and knows she'll be much better suited as a show prospect. With time, groceries, and TLC, this daughter of Belmont winner Victory Gallop will be simply stunning! Price: $1,800 negotiable. Call Kerry at 603-548-3870.

SOLD T09-2648-06. TRAINER-OWNED MARE, Bay, 16 hands, 5 years old
"The Passionate Lion" was bottle-fed as a baby, and is incredibly people-oriented as a result. For someone who really wants to go to the barn and hug their horse at the end of a long, stressful day...Passion is just what you need to restore your soul! This elegant mare comes from a long line of horses that have produced outstanding pleasure and competitive mounts. She bowed her left front tendon last year, and re-aggravated it while in training this year; trainer wants to stop pushing her on the track, and with a few months of R & R to let her heal, she should be ready to begin retraining as a very promising prospect by fall! Described as "very sweet and gentle...doesn't do a thing wrong" - she'll be a most cooperative patient and a wonderful mount. Price: $500 to an excellent home only - NO DEALERS!  Call Harry at 401-256-1395 or owner Lea Loeblenz at 508-785-1677.
SOLD T07-2285-08. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING Light gray with black points, 16 hands 6 years old "Julie Forsure" looks like a Breyer horse, with his rich coloring and soft, lovely eye. A trusting and sensitive horse, he was bred and raised by his trainer and has all the makings of a serious show prospect (many of this trainer's horses have gone on to great success in the hunter/jumper and eventing worlds. Trainer can tell he's a far better fit for the show scene than the track, and it's most important to him that "Julie" go to a loving home. This handsome gelding is sound, in excellent health, used to farm life, all let down and relaxed, and ready to find his next career! Price Reduced: $2,000 negotiable to a great home.

"Gracie Lu Freebush" may win the award for most fun name on the CANTER listings (and yes, that really is her registered name.) This lovely Mr. Prospector granddaughter is currently on the farm and hacking quietly; owner reports she's a peach to handle: hacks quietly, knows her lead changes....even clips, loads, and turns out like a true lady.

Can be seen on the farm in West Bridgewater, MA.

SOLD    T08-2568-10. TRAINER-OWNED MARE, Bay, 16.1 hands, 5 years old

"Gildy's Prom" is a dream broodmare prospect: she is bred in the purple...by premier Kentucky stallion Gilded Time, out of a mare sired by the renowned sporthorse and racing producer Black Tie Affair.

Gildy is tall, very attractive, and has an amazingly mellow and gentle temperament. She does have a chip in the joint of her right front knee (trainer is happy to show X-rays to prospective buyers); while she will not be able to jump, event, or compete in other strenuous disciplines, she should be fine for pleasure riding on the flat with some time off.

She is so quiet that she will be a wonderful pet, in addition to a superb mama! Her connections, who have had her since she was a yearling (she sold at the prestigious Keeneland select sale), are most concerned with finding her a loving home. 

PRICE REDUCED: $500 to a great home with references.

Blood bay with black points, 15.2 hands, 4 years old

"Wilson Hill" was bred "in the purple" in the bluegrass of Kentucky; his sire, Carson City, is one of the most influential stallions in TB pedigrees. Unfortunately for his connections, Wilson hasn't displayed any of the racetrack talent of his famed relatives, and trainer knows he's better off as a show prospect. He's racing fit now, but still very easy to work around - great looks and a bright future with this guy.

Bay, 15.3 hands, 7 years old

"No Speed No Feed" has a name that's hilarious, and unfortunately, fitting...at least when it comes to the "no speed" part!  Trainer hasn't had "NoNo" very long, but it's clear that, while she's ready to move on from racing life, she has a way of carrying herself and a natural athletic talent that should translate very well to a second career away from the track. She's also very well bred - Mr. Prospector is her grandfather on her sire's side, and her dam is a granddaughter of the legendary Secretariat. She has an old cosmetic injury/blemish on her right front, but is sound on it. She is a powerful girl who's strong under saddle, and will do best with an experienced rider familiar with OTTBs.

Price: Needs to find a good home! Call Matthew Clarke at 352-875-4044.

Dark bay, 15.2 hands (still growing!), 3 years old

"Hey Porter" has only started five times, but he's not showing much interest in being a racehorse...trainer recognizes he's got much more riding horse potential, given his good looks and pleasant attitude, and wants to give him the opportunity to start a new life.

Does have some knee soreness, and will need some time and R & R, but he's a wonderful find and well worth the investment of care! Not a jumping candidate, but should be a great flatwork prospect after rest and TLC.

Blood bay with black points 16 hands, 6 years old

"Had If I Had More", who goes by "Haddie," is exceptionally sweet, quiet, and easy to work around...he's just too slow as a racehorse. Maintenance personnel at the track were cleaning out manure dumpsters - with much clanging and banging - while the CANTER volunteers took his pictures, and Haddie didn't even blink as a dumpster was lifted waaaay up over his head! Level head and willing nature suggests this boy will be a breeze to retrain.

SOLD T09-2663-06. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING
Chestnut with chrome, 16.2 hands, 6 years old

"Wrong Street'" is a beautiful, typey boy with old-school TB looks and tons of class. A solid citizen who is very professional to be with and work around; sound on old bow. Tweaked his back on the walking machine and trainer is treating him for muscle soreness. Has not raced in two years and doesn't seem to want to get back into it. This horse is truly gregarious and kind, with a gorgeous manner. 

He has some illustrious names in his pedigree: he's by a son of the immortal Gone West, one of Mr. Prospector's best offspring at stud who was himself out of a Secretariat mare.

On his dam's side he traces back to such notables as Lyphard and Swaps. Native Dancer, perhaps the most successful Thoroughbred sire in history, appears on both sides of his pedigree, as well.

SOLD   T09-2664-06. TRAINER-OWNED MARE,
Dark bay with white points, 15.3 hands, 4 years old

"Sweetsie" (yes, that's her registered racing name) fits her moniker to a T. What a nice, nice, nice girl this mare is. She is a total doll who is looking for a human partner to love and dote on her. Also very pretty with a gorgeous head and neck set.
Sweetsie has an old knee injury and is best as a sporthorse broodmare or companion; trainer has X-rays and is happy to show them to prospective buyers. A wonderful, special home is a must for this gentle horse.

A little background pedigree information that reveals some very interesting potential as a sport horse broodmare: her dam's side trace's back to champions Forty Niner (who won the Kentucky Derby) and Ack Ack (who was both a champion & champion sire!).

She is by a son of Valid Appeal, who traces back to the great In Reality--one of the few male descendants of Man O'War--and sire of multiple champions. This breeding really traces back to the very best in Thoroughbred blood lines, and you can see it in her conformation and carriage.

Bay, 16.3 hands (still growing!), 3 years old

"Mark's Golden Touch" is a BIG youngster with some growing left to do - should top out at 17 hands, easily. His daddy, Touch Gold, won the Belmont Stakes and stands at the prestigious Adena Springs Farm in KY - and Mark's blue blood shows in his textbook conformation and classy demeanor. Racing fit now, but should fill out substantially off the track. Smart boy with an especially sensible attitude for a youngster. Trainer notes that while Mark has a slight cosmetic blemish on his left front, it's old and doesn't bother him. He's clearly not racing material and trainer wants to cut his losses, knows he'll make someone very, very happy.

"Red and Tough" is indeed a striking redhead, but there's nothing "tough" about this young gelding. He's very correct and balanced with a big, substantial build - easygoing and an absolute professional during his photo session. He did recently bow his left front tendon and will need time and TLC, but with the right care, he should be a magnificent retraining project for just about any discipline by fall! Trainer needs to move him ASAP - please consider giving this deserving horse a home.

"Country Prize" is a lovely little filly with her whole life ahead of her...she's very quiet and well-mannered, and shows a maturity beyond her years. This pretty girl comes from a line of noted sporthorse producers (Kris S. on top, Phone Trick on the bottom). She recently injured her knee, and does need time off; trainer can't afford to lay her up at the track, and hopes to find her a great home where she can have the summer off and eventually become a show or pleasure prospect on the flat (she is not a jumping or eventing candidate).

SOLD T09-2674-06. TRAINER-OWNED MARE
Dark chestnut, 16 hands, 5 years old

This mare is the "twin" of a horse the trainer sold last year—and that horse went on to become a winning show hunter!

"HopingforaWin" may be "open" to a victory in theory, but her form on the track doesn't seem to indicate that anything is going to happen soon enough for her trainer. He knows that with her looks, nice movement, and level head, she definitely has a future away from racing, as either a show or pleasure horse. Trainer says "she's the soundest horse in the barn" and she's priced to sell.

SOLD T09-2675-06. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING Chestnut, 17+ hands, 5 years old Yes, "Duke of Nottingham" really is a BIG, BIG boy! He is a turf horse and has the ground-covering build to prove it. Trainer can't find enough turf races at Suffolk to put him in, so would rather try to fill the stall with a more competitive horse. Duke has a handsome, intelligent eye and a powerful build...quite the package all around. Price: $1,500. Call Dave Lezell at 781-956-0404.
SOLD T09-2676-06. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING
Gray, 17+ hands, 5 years old

Wow...the giant "Monarchos Rules" is a son of Kentucky Derby winner Monarchos—and you can see it in his build and that "look of eagles"! He strained an old bowed tendon when he got a little frisky on the track, and the trainer doesn't want to try to push him. With a bit of time off, this stunning horse will make an incredible project for someone. At his size, and as fit as he is, he does need an experienced handler, and he is a real athlete—so we'd recommend someone who is well-versed in "letting down" a horse.

"ThouShallFlyasEli" is an unraced gelding now home on the farm. Owner/trainer didn't want to rush him, so she never pushed him to the track. Now she figures that it would be a shame to try to get Eli to the track when he's already had 6 months of professional training under saddle! Her loss is your gain...Eli is a VERY nice prospect, and a real diamond in the rough.

SOLD   BACK IN THE LISTINGS! T08-2657-10. TRAINER-OWNED MARE
Bay, 16.2 hands, 8 years old

“J Jacqueline” is a tall, very feminine and attractive mare with a disposition as lovely as her looks. A truly kind horse who bonds with people and has outstanding manners, Jacqueline really isn’t much of a racehorse, and her trainer (who’s very fond of “his girl”) thinks she’d be much happier as a sporthorse or broodmare prospect.

She is sure to qualify for the Warmblood books with her size and scope, and she shows the intelligence and willingness that indicate a first-rate show horse, too. (Trainer loves this mare but wants to start selling his horses now so he won’t be “stuck” with less competitive runners at the end of the meet.)

Price: $1,500. Call Greg Rivera, 857-251-8213.

Hands down, “Mysterious Ridge” is one of the most stunning horses the volunteers have ever seen at the track. Photo doesn’t do this magnificent animal justice: he’s blooming with good health, is tall and substantially built, and is a superstar based on personality alone. Loves people, soaks up pats and attention, and doesn’t do a thing wrong.

Trainer says he’s a ham and “an attention hound, but when it’s time to work, he gets right down to business.” He adds that while Mysterious is sound, he’s showing signs of boredom with racing life and is ready for a new job. Don’t wait – this horse is an A+ find!

“El Pirata” looks like a swashbuckling sort in tribute to his name; an athlete with substantial bone and a nice way of going. Trainer emphasizes that he “only keeps kind horses” in his barn and says this gelding is excellent for him, grooms, exercise riders, farriers …you name it. A classy horse whose pedigree suggests “sporthorse star”: his daddy is also the sire of champion Afleet Alex, and his dam is a Kentucky-bred daughter of the great Conquistador Cielo.

Trainer only selling Pirata because he plans to head to Puerto Rico after the Suffolk meet wraps up, and wants to have his barn cleared out by fall…so he’s starting early this year!

Says when he's sound he has a great, big stride, and was jumping last year and has been turned out with other horses. With some time and rehab could make an excellent dressage prospect.

“Palace Diva” ...ooooohhhhh...pretty! This filly is simply stunning and has presence to boot. Honestly--some of the volunteers were drooling and report that they actually bought lottery tickets on the way home in an effort to fund a second horse (this one!).

Trainer had high hopes for this filly--who is nicely bred--but she's more show horse than racehorse. Diva is by the Chilean-bred Lido Palace who was a champion at 2 AND 3 and was imported to the US where he was also a multiple graded stakes winner. On her dam's side, her dam sire is descended from Damascus and Secretariat. Sadly, great genes don't always make for great racehorses...trainer's loss is your gain. Really one of the nicest we've seen in a while, and was remarkably quiet and well behaved. Trainer says she's easy to deal with...She's already substantial and should finish out at 16.2 or so. If you want serious show potential, here it is.

(Trainer gallops and works as an outrider; folks who've gotten horses from him in the past have been very pleased with the work he puts into them as riding horses.)

Lots of chrome and as you can see from his expression in the head shot--very much a "hey...what's up!?" kind of guy! We can see him as a great pony club project.

A racing career was just never in the cards for “Commonwealth Ave”. He lost his dam at a very young age so was a late bloomer. He was brought into training as a 4 year old and, after showing only lackluster racing talent, sustained a very minor bowed tendon in early August. His trainer decided it wasn’t worth laying him up, and is looking to find this guy a new career. He’s put together well and was very sweet (photo does him no justice, poor guy was being harassed by a pesky fly!) and will make someone a very nice riding horse. Note: the CANTER volunteers could barely tell which leg had the bowed tendon, this was really more of a strain than a true “bow”.

He is a great-grandson of Secretariat, and his lineage shows in every way, from his gleaming copper coat to his solid, sizeable build (he has a big barrel that will take up a lot of leg) and classy demeanor. Sol would seem to be the ideal hunter/jumper prospect; he is a fancy mover, has a quiet and gentle disposition, and also has the chrome and flash to catch the judges' eye in the show ring. Sol is lightly raced...he's sound but shows zero interest in emulating his famous ancestors. 

SPRING 2009: Sol spent the winter in daily work under saddle, and looks GREAT! He now lunges perfectly in both directions, has started going over trotting poles...and absolutely loves them! So quiet that trainer has put beginners on him, and says, "He will do anything you ask and even if he doesn't know how to, he tries really hard."

Jason is super sweet, with a completely professional, "been there, done that" attitude that should make retraining in any job a complete breeze.

“Concert In Chile” was brought back to Suffolk Downs recently after a 2 year hiatus on the farm. He was ridden and turned out on the farm and his trainer realizes that he’s just better suited to his life on the farm and not as a racehorse. He has a floating daisy-cutter trot and moves very correctly, between his movement and attitude we think he’ll transition to the hunter ring in no time flat! Trainer says “He’s 500% sound!”

Price: $1000 negotiable to good home.

"Fierce Advocate" is powerfully built and uphill with a wonderful natural topline; here's another horse that seems to have dressage potential. [He] "...so much fun to work with and has a great personality" according to Patty. In fact, she says that you have to watch the water hose while he's around it or he'll end up playing with it and soaking you in the process! This horse is very sweet and calm and collected. In fact, when we took his picture it was the first time he had been out of his stall all morning and he couldn't have been quieter, even as his neighbor was making a fuss. Does have a bit of arthritis in his ankle, but trainer reports that it is not bothering him while in training. Reluctantly cutting string before moving on to a more competitive track.
