horse wanted form

You must be at least 18 years of age to have your name on the Horses Wanted List.

Information is circulated at the track but is not collected on website for any other purpose besides serving as contact information for the Horses Wanted service for CANTER of New England.

 Besides shopping on the Horses for Sale section of CANTER, the Horses Wanted List is another way prospective buyers can find horses for sale in New England. The list is actively maintained and circulated at least once a week when the track is open and the trainers are on the grounds. If a racehorse trainer thinks he has a horse that might match what you are interested in, he/she will give you a call to set up an appointment to view the horse.

 A reminder: These are racehorses straight off the track and have had no retraining! Although they are broke to ride and generally load well, have excellent ground manners and many life experiences for young horses, they usually do not understand leg yields, steering or "Whoa"! They need experienced riders and often professional re-training. Please refer to the Ex-Racehorse Resource and CANTER's Frequently Asked Questions for more details.
Please answer all of the questions below COMPLETELY when filling out the form! It is very time consuming if we have to get in touch to fill in information gaps, and you could lose out on a great horse because of such a delay.
Remember, the more information you provide, the easier it will be for trainers to match you with a horse. Be reasonable in your requests. As a general rule, the price of the horse is determined by three factors: soundness, height and trainer's need to sell. You are not likely to find a 16.2 hand horse that will vet out for jumping for $800 although this is not impossible. The highest number of horses sell in the $1500 to $3000 range. If you live outside of New England, you must be ready and able to provide transportation for the horse from New Hampshire (or the state where it is located) to your state at your expense.

 MOST TRAINERS DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO EMAIL. PLEASE PROVIDE AN ACCURATE PHONE NUMBER WHERE YOU CAN BE REACHED. For any questions relating to this process please Email canterne@canterusa.org Please note: The serious shopper should aggressively monitor Horses for Sale and not rely on trainers to call them. To keep the list current, your horses wanted listing will expire after a period of one month. You must email us to continue your request. We encourage you to sign-up for our newsletter for the latest listings, tips and a reminder to check your listing date.
