OTTB-post yours!

I love love love OTTB!!!! Here is a horse I used to own about 10 years back. His racing name was Holy Socks (can you say ugh?!), but my daughter who was 9 at the time and I renamed him Jupiter Flash. He was such a pretty boy, 16hh a bright bright bay, but sadly I had to give him up due to a divorce. I donated him to be a police horse but he was put down after a year from a horrible trailer accident where he panicked and broke his leg.

Sorry for the lousy pic, it's the only digital one I have...we were just learning to jump and it was not pretty! LOL

Hey,

Chinga is my OTTB. I'm sure all of you have heard about him in great detail! I've had some of my best and worse times with him, I adore him. His been spoilt every since he came to me. But he deserves every singel bit of it.

He had problems with all his gaits apart from gallop, now he does all of them brilliantly! He would rear at a trotting pole and now jumps 95cm! I've taught him so much and I've learnt so much with him.

Camp Out '09:

Excuse the grossness--He was shedding out his bleached coat (he's supposed to be dark bay) and I haven't gotten around to taking updated pics. He also has a few more pounds added on, so his ribs aren't noticeable! His registered name is Dry Ice, he raced for almost nine years, 95 starts, 42 of them were in the money. 16 hh even. On the track/ with other horses he's definitely got an attitude, but he has the sweetest personality and is always the first to walk up to you anywhere. He's only been off the track a year, and at the barn where he's boarded at, the owners six year old frequently turns him out.

This is Max a.k.a. Cool Fur.

17.1hh OTTB finished racing last year.

Stunning OTTB guys!

Da Vinci isn't my OTTB. I partially lease him. He's 16.1 hands, although I'm not sure how old he is. Eight? Nine? Eh, I can't remember.

But anyway, this is my instructor jumping him for the first time:


I've jumped him a few times, and he's awesome! Smoothest jumper I've ever ridden, and he's not even done it half a dozen times.

Here's a picture of a while ago when he was still really thin and wooly, but it shows how cute his face is:

My guy is Kainne (formerly Scooby Doo, normally I don't change names but ick!!) He has no tattoo so that means he was never raced if I have the right information..but he is a TB for sure! He's about 16.1hh and 12 years old. He can be a little bit silly, but he's a really sweet guy and I love him to death.
He was a bit..neglected when I got him, as you can see in the picture.

this is Kainne in June of this year, when I brought him home.




and here he is in August. I can't believe how much he's improved! he still has a ways to go but he's doing great.

Gorgeous horses everyone!

they all are so cute! =)
here are mine.

This is my Yankee. I named him Outcast Yankee Blue before I learned his registered name. His registered name is "Keep 'Em Up There", and he raced 28 times, winning almost $60,000. These pictures were from our move from NY to KS, and I had just gotten him back from 3 months at the trainer. He has gained a good amount of weight and is well on the way to being a beautiful boy. He has the most amazing personality...he is such a little punk! I love him to death even though I still don't have a saddle that fits him lol :-D He is 16.1h, and 8 years old.
