Update: This horse is currently in Florida with his trainer. She called yesterday and asked if I knew anyone who would take him. She said she'd do away with the lease and just give him to a good home. She also said she can set up shipping along the east coast at a cheaper rate as she has some friends heading back north with empty trailers. This is a lovely horse who would be in my barn in a heartbeat if I had the time for him!
--------------------------------------------------------

Real special is a 1997 model 16 hand TB gelding. This horse belongs to his trainer who kept him for herself after she retired him from racing. She has done a little bit of everything on this guy. She rides him around the farm bareback with a halter and lead only. He trail rides with no issue. She said he's 100% sound and could learn to jump if someone wanted to teach him. This cutey is a dark bay...nearly black with a blaze and a sock on one hind leg and one front leg. Special has not raced in a few years and is used to turn out with friends. His owner says he will only go to the BEST home where she'll expect regular updates on him. She's offering this horse for free.
Check out his pedigree!

Special is located at a training center in PA only about 15 minutes form Mountaineer Park. Please PM me for the trainer's contact info.

I wish I could afford another horse, I'd take him in a heart beat!

The trainer told me today that she'd really rather do a free long term lease on this fella. She is so attached to him that she said she'd pick him up in a heartbeat if things didn't work out. Sounds like a good deal to me!
Special was full of personality. He's a DOLL. 100% sound and clean legged after winning 20 races over his lifetime.

He is my favorite type of horse :-) Look how kind those eyes are. He will definitely make a BFF horse for some lucky person.

Oh my gosh he is extremely cute, too. What a cute blaze on that face! She really rides him around the farm in a HALTER? Man, he sounds like a good citizen but I am SO worried about getting a horse sight unseen..I mean, test-ride-unseen! I can "see" him pretty good here! That's probably the worst "sales" video ever made huh? hahaha trotting back and forth in a halter, bareback... but it tells ya something about the horse!

That hoss wasn't built to tread the earth,
He took natural to the air,
And every time he went aloft,
He tried to leave me there.

Sounds like she would be willing to take him back if it didn't work out.

Lol Smay! It was a last minute thing on my cell phone. She asked if she should get on him. I said sure. Had to lwg her up. Her lwad came untied when she got back up that drive and so she was riding around with only one rein.

	Its just that some of us... me for instance... really likes TBs... always have, always will. They can give you premature grey hair... but they will also kill themselves for you... literally.... and there is something very addicting about a horse that is willing to care that much about a human.
