CUSTARD OR NOTHING "Connie"
 
4 year old standardbred mare ~15.1hh
 
 connie
 
“Connie” is such a little doll! She has the prettiest little face and over all a stunning looking mare.
 Connie last raced on April 25, 2024 and has been with us since she left the track. 
 
Connie has been started under saddle and shows so much potential to be a lovely trail or pleasure companion.
She is eager to please and loves to get out on adventures. She has a great mind and just enough confidence to get out and explore.  
Due to a past surgery to remove a bone chip from her knee, Connie may require some maintenence as well as a conditioning program to keep her at her best. 
 
Connie loves children. She is the type of horse to stand in the crossties for hours while she is being loved and brushed. 
She would make a wonderful horse for the whole family to enjoy. 
 
Please check out her "highlight reel" on our instagram page to see photos and videos of her under saddle. 
 
Connie's adoption fee is $1250 
She is located at our foster farm in Mission, BC
 
 
 
 

CUSTARDS MY MAN "Denny"

6 year old standardbred gelding ~16.1hh 
 
denny
 
“Denny” was returned to our program due to no fault of his own.
His racing career was short and after he left the track he was adopted and started under saddle. 
He has wonderful ground manners and is an adventure seeking guy. 
 
Since returning, Denny has been assessed under saddle and we feel that this sweet guy would suit a trail or pleasure home. 
He does have a hunters bump, but as hes matured and grown up, he has developed more muscle in his hind end.
 
Denny can't wait to find his forever home, he has so much love to give someone! 
 
For updates, check out Denny's "highlight" reel on our Instagram page.
 
  
Denny's adoption fee is $1250 
He is located at our foster farm in Mission, BC
 



 
THREE MORE SMILES "Smiley"
11 year old Standardbred gelding  ~15hh
 
 
25b81cb1 159e 44a1 ad39 7f13c6a346ac 
 
"Smiley" is an 11 year old gelding who spent 10 years as a race horse!  He comes with so much life experience, handling and exposure with 200 races under his belt.
Smiley has travelled to Ontario, Minnesota, Alberta and BC making over a quarter million dollars.
This war horse hung up his racing shoes in March of 2024 and has been enjoying some much deserved R & R- Just being a horse.
 
Smiley is a good in a herd if he only has girlfriends or if it's just another gelding without mares around.
Smiley comes with some trust issues after passing hands many times throughout his race career.  If you are patient and gentle with him it doesn't take long to earn his favour.  Bring him some black licorice and you will quickly become his new bestie:)
This boy has perfect manners, he can be led and brushed by kids.  He actually seems to be quite drawn to little humans!
Stay tuned to our Instagram highlight reel for Smiley as we start him under saddle.
He is such a special horse and going to be a really great pal for the right person!!
 
 
Smiley's adoption fee is $1250 
He is located at our foster farm in Mission, BC
 
 
NICOLA VALLEY "Nicky"
6 year old Standardbred mare  
 
(Smart Shark - Township Coochie - Blissful Hall)
 
 

Nicky has raced 27 times, won once, and made $13,500. Nicky last raced in 2022. Nicky has not had any foals.
Nicky has foundered in the past and will need a home that can offer her a paddock without grass in the spring and summer months.

She is only available as a companion horse - she may be suited for light, leisurely riding.

Nicky is a strong personality and would make a great companion for another horse that needs to build confidence.  The way she exudes confidence tends to wear off on her herd mates.  During her time in the program we have seen her teach sensitive horses how to follow direction and leadership and we've seen her show her human friends this as well.  She would make a great teacher for someone wanting to learn more about horsemanship.

Nicky has good ground manners and although she can test her handler, she is never mean or dangerous.  
Nicky is an absolute stunning horse, her pictures don't do her justice.  She has a naturally wavy mane and forelock and is a golden bay tone.  She is an eye catcher for sure.

Nicky is perfect for the vet and farrier.  She hauls, baths, stands well in the cross ties.

Check out our videos of Nicky on our Instagram
 
 
Nicky's adoption fee is negotiable to the right home.
She is located at our foster farm in Mission, BC
 
   
CONNIVER
3 year old Standardbred gelding ~15hh
 
 
 
 

Conniver raced 4 times.

Conniver is looking for a companion home with an experienced handler.

This young man would make a great friend for another horse - a mare or gelding; he gets along well with everyone.
He’s at the bottom of the pecking order in a herd. He would be a great project for someone looking to practice working on ground work.

Conniver is silly, playful and a great teacher of how to set a boundary.

REELIZA BE DOUD "Mae" 
  
8 year old standardbred mare ~15.2 hh
