✨ Very special OTTB mare looking for her next person ✨

By Mobil out of an Adios Charlie mare

šŸ“ Wadsworth, Ohio

Price dramatically reduced due to taking in one of our old horses who is now emaciated. Make me an offer.

Dm me, I don’t see comments.

Videos in comments- the bugs were very much out to get her. Handler is 6ft

2020 bay Thoroughbred mare with a star, approximately 15.2hh.

Last race was 7/19/25- 19 starts- was kept in training until June. Retired sound, we just couldn’t get her race to go.

This girl is especially meaningful to us. She was the first foal born to us after we got back into racing. We also owned and raced her mom. She was a homebred what was also owner/ trained.

And truthfully, if she were taller, I’d keep her myself, I’m just way too tall for her. I’m going to trail ride her until she sells

She has had one ride off the track so far, mostly because I wanted to see what she thought about going over fences. She was willing and game, and I think she has the potential to be a really fun little sport horse. Other than that ride, she has not had a formal restart, so she is still a nice blank slate for someone to bring along their own way.

She was broke by someone we know, so she was taught to lunge and long-line/ground drive in addition to her track training. She walks, trots, and canters both directions and has always been classy under saddle. I expect her to be a pretty straightforward restart in experienced hands.

She has a big heart and loves having a job. She bonds closely with her people and LOVES being groomed, scratched, fussed over, and especially given candy. She has a lot of personality and is one of those horses who really becomes attached to her caretakers.

I could see her being a really fun prospect for jumpers, eventing, dressage, or an all-around sport horse home. She is RRP eligible and is retiring without known limitations.

She is currently barefoot. Her walls are holding up but her soles aren’t as hard as I want them to be. She would benefit from being back in front shoes. She is acclimated to turn out and has been with a mixed herd for three months.

🐓 Home requirements:
• No beginner homes.
• If you have never owned or restarted an OTTB, you must be working with an experienced trainer.
• No high-tensile fencing.
• Must have access to a barn/stall—not solely a run-in shed.
• Someone who understands how to properly feed a TB and understands the calories to maintain their body weight.
• Established veterinarian and farrier.
• References may be requested.

Our horses are our pets and are incredibly important to us. I am picky about where they go, and she will stay with us until the right home comes along. Finding the right match is much more important than finding the fastest one.

ANOTHER RACEHORSE MISCONCEPTION THAT NEEDS TO GO:

ā€œThey don’t know how to cross-tieā€ ….

There’s a common misconception about Thoroughbreds at the track that because you often see them single-tied in their stalls, they somehow don’t know how to cross-tie.

Fun fact: most of them absolutely do!

All of ours at the track both single-tie and cross-tie. Single-tying is simply common practice in the racetrack environment it doesn’t mean a horse lacks basic handling or hasn’t been taught anything else.

Different environments have different routines. Different barns do things differently. And different horses have different experiences.

Yes, there are some trainers who don’t use cross-ties, but from our own firsthand, hands-on experience at the track, most absolutely do.

Seeing a horse single-tied at the track tells you exactly one thing: the horse is single-tied at the track. It doesn’t tell you everything that horse has been taught.

Before assuming an OTTB ā€œdoesn’t knowā€ something simply because you didn’t see it done at the racetrack, remember there’s usually a whole lot more to these horses’ education than what you see from the outside.

✨It’s not the end of their story, it’s the beginning✨

**DISCLAIMER: This post reflects the thoughts, opinions, and experiences of Stoney Hollow Stables and is shared from our own perspective. The information and recommendations we provide are based on years of hands-on experience, the methods we use, and what we have found works best for the horses in our care. As owners, breeders, and trainers both on and off the racetrack, our experience with Thoroughbreds spans multiple stages of their lives and careers - from the racetrack to life beyond it.

That does not mean our way is the only way, nor does someone having a different experience automatically make their recommendation wrong—or ours wrong.

Every horse is an individual. Different horses, programs, and professionals may require different approaches. There is rarely a one-size-fits-all answer in horses. We share what has worked for us to educate and offer another perspective, not to discredit what may have worked for someone else.
