"Master Gino" is a 4 year old, 16.3 hand grey gelding

This very attractive gelding is just not making it at the track and clearly doesn’t want to be a race horse according to his trainer.

When he stepped into their barn they knew right away that he needed to put a lot of weight on, and have already made progress; they report that he’s gobbling up his food and quickly gaining weight.

He is sound, and has loads of personality to go a long with his good looks; his favorite game is to have his tongue pulled on as he demonstrated for the volunteers.  Clearly an excellent prospect with some more weight he should transition well into a new career.

"Sensational View" 5 year old, 15.3 hand chestnut gelding

The volunteer’s first impression of this sweet gelding was that he would make a super fun horse for a 4-H or Pony Clubber! He was actually bred by George Steinbrenner's Kinsman Stable and is well bred: by a son of Mr. Prospector out of a Deputy Minister mare (D.M. is in the Hall of Fame and produces notably durable, sensible horses).

Trainer is looking to sell because he is not making his way at the track and wants to make sure he finds him an excellent home. This gelding has a great disposition and “does everything right”, and is sound.  He’s even gone in western tack and been used as a pony horse for a little bit.

This versatile horse has a laid back personality and should make someone an excellent new friend! Mike Meese 216-386-7298 $500 obo to a good home only

"Full of Sunshine" 4 year old, 16.2 hand bay filly

When asked why he was listing this filly with CANTER the trainer's response was “well, she’s slow”.  Clearly a very nice and friendly horse, Full of Sunshine greeted the volunteers eagerly and with lots of curiosity.

Trainer reports she is clean legged and has no vices, and an excellent horse to ride, going to the track in a simple D-ring snaffle bit.  In good health and dappled out she’ll strike an excellent figure in the show ring. Call Bobby Kelly 339-222-3748 or Walter Wright 617-623-6318 $500

"Midnight Clear" 5 yo 16.2H bay gelding

This very handsome son of Kentucky Derby winner Fusaichi Pegasus is just not willing to be a race horse anymore, though sound, per his trainer. He thinks it’s very clear that he’s just not willing to run anymore and would like to make sure he has a good home.

Good to work with, he is excellent under tack and should be able to transition nicely into a new career.  Call Randy Andrews 617-799-3388 Price: $500 obo

"Canadian Missile" is a 4 year old 16.1H chestnut gelding

This very flashy chestnut is ready for a new career and should be suitable for any discipline.  Trainer reports that he’s completely sound, but just isn’t making at the track: unless he’s out front he’s not happy and will quit running. The trainer thinks he’d be much more suitable in a new career off the track. Good to work with and with no vices.

By the way: this boy is bred up the gazoo--by Golden Missile, who is a son of the Hall of Fame stallion A.P. Indy out of an Alphabet Soup mare (A.S. won close to $3MM during his career and is a stunning horse). Definitely one to take a good look at as his blue blood predigree shows!

"Pushed Over" is a stunning 16.2 hand, 4 year old dappled grey stallion. He quietly stood with a filly right next to him as we were taking a picture; trainer said that it was a true indication of his excellent, laid back, unstuddish personality.

This handsome boy comes by his looks honestly: he was sired by the Kentucky stallion "The Cliff's Edge", who earned over a million during his career. Class does show!

He has recently experienced some stiffness in his stifles and some arthritic changes in his ankle and is ready for a new home and career

"Tiznow My Way" is a stunning 16.3 hand, 8 year old dark bay stallion. Handsome and dappled, this boy has an excellent personality and, per trainer, "...he’s good to work with and not studdish at all".

Sired by the great Tiznow--who is noted for siring horses with heart and great minds-- he earned over $130K in his career and could make an excellent breeding prospect or, if gelded would make an excellent husband or trail horse. He is out of a Bold Forbes mare; this stallion won both the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes. Can't get much better bred than this boy, and it shows! He actually sold for $140K as a two year old.

"Vestments" is a handsome 7 year old dappled grey (gelded) son of Holy Bull that has been off the track for about a year.

His owner described him as a love bug and as docile as can be. He’s been ridden on the farm and has had some low level dressage work put in him, but his owner recognizes that they just don’t have the time to put the training in him that he needs. Noting that while the love him, it’s “not fair” to keep him because he wants a job and loves to please, a good home is most important.

Trainer feels he’d be best as a flat prospect with minimal low jumping. Can be seen on the farm. Elana Storlazzi 603-203-1209 $3,999

"Crescent's Joker", aka "Codie" is a beautiful, superbly built gelding who means a tremendous deal to his owners: they bred him and have been with him throughout his life. Joker's owners have donated him to CANTER to ensure that he finds a loving, forever home where he can excel in a new career!

Codie has been under saddle for a year, has participated in dressage clinics, show and is starting to jump small obstacles.

Codie is a really nice youngster and should do great things in whatever job he takes on next. Adoption fee: $450

"Rollacoasta", 4yo bay gelding, 16 hands

This fun gelding returns to our listings after giving it another go at racing. Unfortunately for his connections he didn’t get any better as a racehorse, so they’d like to retire him this year before the end of the season.

This handsome guy has loads of personality and a quick, athletic manner that should make him a fun riding prospect. He is good to work with, and admittedly a bit spoiled, and trainer notes that he is as gentle as a lamb around kids, who frequently graze him outside his barn

"Magazine", 9 year old dark bay gelding, 16.2 hands

This very handsome dappled gelding has earned his retirement from racing at nine years old...pic doesn't really do him justice.

Trainer wants to retire him now while he is still sound as has noticed some arthritic changes in his knee that just aren’t holding up to racing anymore. His groom described him as an absolute gentleman who loves peppermints.

This is an incredibly striking horse with intelligence, personality and charisma. Call Matthew Clark, 352-875-4044, Price: $1,000, negotiable to the right home

"Lucrative Deal" is a 5 year old, 16.1 hand dappled grey gelding.

What a handsome dappled grey--he looks a lot like his sire (see the pic on sire's pedigree--http://www.pedigreequery.com/diligence2)! Trainer reports that he’s sound an excellent to work with, his only vice is that he “likes his food too much!”

Simply not making it at the track, it’s become clear that he needs a different job and he should be suitable for anything, and with his good looks would make a striking children’s hunter prospect.

A good mover, he’s great under tack and is clearly fun to be around with great stall manners; we pulled him away from his feed to take a quick picture and he wasn’t grumpy or mean, maybe just a little annoyed. In fact, when he saw the volunteers he perked up and started looking for peppermints! Alison 860-671-0077 $1,500 neg.

"Rome is Burning" is a 17.1 hand, 7 year old bay gelding...big, handsome, intelligent...really quite a striking horse! Trainer has claimed this horse back 6 times throughout his career--he cares about him that much...and he won his last race going away--but it's now time for "Romey" to retire to find a forever home away from the track. Romey is a very elegant mover and with his size and presence could be a stellar dressage horse, but is also intelligent enough to make a nice trail prospect for the taller rider.  For more info please contact CANTER NE: canternewengland@canterusa.org
