Furhluck Has Made the Transistion from Race Horse to Sport Horse.

The Truth About Off-the-Track Thoroughbreds From the People Who Know Them Best

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.

Fuhrluck aka “Seven” Still Lucky in 2010!

May2010

rFuhrluck was a former Prospect Horse on the Bits & Bytes Farm Web site.

Hi Elizabeth,

It’s been a long time. I just wanted to share a couple of photos of Fuhrluck aka “Seven” with you. As you can see he’s looking great! I still regularly keep in contact with his new owner, Dayna and I see him whenever I’m back in Ohio. I can’t imagine a happier, more loved horse.

“Seven” is a character and one of his favorite things to do is to play with and drink from the water hose. On the left is Jessy (Dayna’s daughter) and on the right is one of his best friends, Shana. I’ve been told that Shana wants first dibs on “Seven” if Dayna ever wants to sell him. She might have to fight me for it! But we’re probably safe as I don’t think “Seven” will be going anywhere anytime soon. He is the kind of horse you can’t help but love.
