2008: BACK IN THE LISTINGS!
T06-2080-08. TRAINER-OWNED MARE, Liver chestnut with chrome, 15.2 hands, 6 years old "Gothic" is a beautiful horse looking for a new home. This gray stunner has some calcification in one ankle, but trainer says he's going completely sound on it; does have a small cloudy spot in his right eye, but is not bothered by it. This horse is very athletic and naturally quick on his feet: he can be strong, so is a good choice for an experienced rider who wants a bold and courageous mount. Price: $2,500 negotiable. Call Ed Connolly, 813-495-8714. "Baldski's Image" is about the most un-stallion-like stallion you'll ever meet: he is truly lovable, sweet, and a peach to handle! Baldski is a well-bred boy (son of Mecke and grandson of the beloved Ferdinand) who raced primarily on turf; he is sound with very little mileage on his legs. Baldski is used to being turned out on the farm; though he is still green under saddle, he has such an excellent temperament and work ethic that he should make retraining very easy in the right hands! Price: $3,750; good home a must. On the farm in Saugus, MA, very close to Suffolk Downs - UPDATE 2008: going under saddle, looks beautiful! Call Michael Benson at 617-592-6934.

T07-2267-07. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING, Bay, 16 1/2 hands, 8 years old 2008: BACK IN THE LISTINGS! T07-2285-08. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING, Gray/roan with black points, 15.3 hands, 5 years old "Julie Forsure" looks like a Breyer horse, with his rich coloring and soft, lovely eye! A trusting and sensitive horse, he was bred and raised by his trainer and has all the makings of a serious show prospect (many of this trainer's horses have gone on to great success in the hunter/jumper and eventing worlds!) Trainer can tell he's a far better fit for the show scene than the track, and wants to cut his losses now. Price: $3,500 negotiable. Call Dale Salim, 508-285-7473.

T07-2342-09.
TRAINER-OWNED GELDING, Chestnut
with LOTS of chrome, 16.3 hands, 5 years
old "Corporate Intrigue" is very athletic and has the potential to do really anything! He just needs someone to take him there. Sound, clean-legged, no vices...will be a great retraining project for the experienced horseperson. Can be seen on the farm in Bernardston, MA (about half an hour north of Amherst). Price Reduced: $2,500. Call Curtis Brown at 413-648-0010 or e-mail pappybrown@verizon.net.
2008: BACK IN THE LISTINGS!
T07-2351-09. TRAINER-OWNED MARE, Gray/roan, 15.3 hands, 5 years old Look up "born kid's prospect" in the dictionary and you'll see "Arrested Gatorgirl"'s picture! This darling little mare is willing, gentle, and has some great off-the-track riding experience under her belt - she has been ridden on the farm by her trainer's 13-year-old daughter. Racing is not really her cup of tea, but she will be a star as a lucky child or teenager's riding buddy! Price: $2,000 negotiable. Call Wayne Sargent, 352-229-0509. 2008: BACK IN THE LISTINGS! T07-2387-10. TRAINER-OWNED GELDING, Near white, 15.3 hands, 6 years old "Tir Na Og" captured many, many hearts when he was first listed on our web site last year...and broke just as many when he was sold to another trainer to race! Happily for his fans, he is now back for sale, as he's demonstrating that his heart just isn't into racing anymore. Trainer fawns over him - she loves giving him "beauty treatments!" - and while sad at the prospect of letting him go, looks forward to hearing about his future exploits as a riding horse! Strikingly handsome, with his snowy coat and Bambi eyes, he is also an absolute love to be around - so gentle that he should make a wonderful kid's horse with retraining! Price Reduced: $3,000 - very negotiable to a great home. Call May Conkey at 978-973-3955. "Number One" (he is unregistered and unnamed) is a gorgeous youngster who has everything going for him...he's unraced, sound, very nice-looking, and has excellent ground manners. Halter-broke with some basics under saddle; per owner, an excellent pupil who should train up to any level! By Sharp Runner, he is a grandson of Pleasant Colony, who is renowned for passing along not only great height and substance, but work ethic, smarts, and athleticism, too. He does not have papers. Owner moving and can't take this guy or his counterpart below (open to a package deal); only concern is an excellent home.
