I suppose I'll have to post my girl too!

This is Indie, she raced until she was seven and was registered with the CSHA and used as a broodmare. She's ten years old, and a little bit over 16hh. She's just been getting ridden regularly for a bit over a month now. Racing left her with more than her fair share of issues (splints, allergies, cribbing, etc), but I love her none-the-less.

Here's DD's girl - Aero (JC name Lady Brave Heart) - she's 7 yo, 16.3 HH, had eight starts and was a failure on the track, so now she's enjoying life as her girl's best friend. We picked her up a month after her last start, she was 3 yo at that time.

My gelding only raced 3 times and was last every time- that's failure :) They sent him to H/J barn to be re-trained, which makes dressage impossible now.

This is my baby butt, Reno (that's his JC name). Coming 5yo, 15.2hh gelding. Raced five times, placed in three. He's a smoocher. He chews wood from stress, but we're working on that. He loves mud, zippers, and dumping all my things out of his grooming box...otherwise he's the sweetest angel of an OTTB ever.

I have an OTTB! I love him! His name is Finn, and he's 5yo. His record is 23-3-3-5. I couldn't have asked for a better horse. He's amazing. He retired from racing this past spring, and I adopted him about three weeks after his last race.

Here he is the day I decided I wanted him:


This is the day I officially brought him "home":


And here he is last week:

This is my new boy Jack (JC name Jacksinthebox). 22 starts and 2 wins (both serious come from behind wins!) He raced until he was 6 and he's been off track for 1 year. I've had him form 2 1/2 months now and he really loves jumping! He's my first OTTB but I think this won't be my last.

Starry-boo! She's actually my friend's but everyone who knows her kind of adopts her and my friend just loves how loved Star is :-p

She's teeny tiny, 14.3hh if that and she only grew that big in the past year, she was even smaller when she was 5. Never raced, foal recorded but not registered.

I must admit, thoroughbreds are absolutely beautiful horses.

This is my past mare Baby, AKA 'Bong Bong Baby'. I was a proud owner; her father is the full brother of Danehill. I sold her after only a few months due to irreconcilable differences, as I like to call them, and she is now (hopefully!) a polo broodmare.

Baby never raced, and was only 4 when I had her.

Ignore the yucky rainscald on her back.

I love my OTTB! He's a 2003 model, sire is Sunny's Halo, who won the Kentucky Derby in 1983. My Halo however did not pick up his daddy's racing ability. :lol:

BUT, he makes a great hunter.

Same with my TB!! Hes a 1992 Sunny's Halo baby as well.. My guy was not suited for racing either so they never raced him, he's a hunter! :D

I thought Ronan was a Warmblood for the longest time.. he's gorgeous, as are all the others! :) I still can't believe why my instructor always warned me, but then again, I'm sure there are plenty stereotypical TBs out there.

These are two of my boys.
The bay is Nibbler B'stard. (Otherwise known as Hoof Hefner)
He is 16.3hh and was a real handful when I first got him. After many years together and a lot of fun and a lot of trials he is in a new home so I can concentrate on my mare due to foal. I miss him.
The chestnut is the Phantom, a home bred Tb never raced. He was fabulous, loved him to bits. Very very cheeky and beautiful. I had high hopes for this boy - the ridden one is where I just started to school him.
Unfortunately he developed a terrible facial neuralgia and I had to have him put down. Absolutely heart breaking.
Have always loved Tbs having rescued and rehabbed many of them over the years. Now that I am much older, I need smaller horses! but I still love Tbs.:shock:
