BIG MAGICK "Buzz"
9 year old Standardbred gelding  ~16hh
companion home only


buzz water

Buzz retired from racing in November 2018 after 53 starts and just over $48,000 made in his career. 

He has been adopted and returned to the program a few times and we are determined to find him his forever home.

Buzz is filled to the brim with personality. He loves attention, but can be a bit of a handful sometimes.
Buzz does best with one consistent horse companion, preferrably a mare. 

Due to a previous injury, Buzz is best suited to be a companion horse- but needs more stimulation than just sitting in a field.
Buzz has lots to offer his future home- he is a character and is so lovable. He could be everything your farm is looking for. 

Buzz is on Instagram!

Buzz located at our foster farm in Mission, BC
His adoption fee is negotiable to the right home

CONNIVER
3 year old Standardbred gelding ~15hh
 companion home only
 
 
 

Conniver raced 4 times.

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.
