Learn About Off-the-Track Thoroughbreds from Their New Owners After Racing

This site was created to tell the true stories of former race horses who have now moved onto second careers as sport horses. The stories are written by their new owners in their words. These off-the-track Thoroughbreds are family horses and show horses.
These Thoroughbreds are ridden in English tack and Western tack. They compete in dressage, combined training/eventing, hunter/jumper and some are just pleasure horses enjoyed by children, adults and grandparents.

Ides Pride is Sadly Offered For Sale

Mar2010

ides-pride_20091226_001

Elizabeth,
So I have made the very hard decision to sell Ides Pride aka “Seary”. I have placed an add on Equine.com and my local Craigslist, but have had no luck. I as many other people have run into financial hardship and my hours have been cut and I am no longer able to afford her. I need to find a home for her as soon as possible. I was hoping that you would be able to help me find a forever home. She has been out of work since October. I started working her this week and she is still as great as ever. She is the most loving sensitive horse I have ever owned. I want to find her a home that will be able to bring her to her full potential. I have attached some photos from this fall and her first horse show at GMHA H/J show. She showed in the flat classes with 19 other well seasoned horses. Anything you can do to help would be great. See Ides Pride’s pedigree. See the earlier Ides Prides Success Stories on the Bits & Bytes Farm Web site. Ides Pride is located in Vermont. Contact Kacy LaBerge at (802)373-9789 or by e-mail: ridenblue01@yahoo.com
