Mr.
Moore (Bones) - 1993
Bay Thoroughbred Gelding
"Bones"
is his nickname and he's quite an individual. He arrived with
a known suspensory injury and an unknown systemic infection, which
caused him to lose weight to the point he was nicknamed "Bones".
However, through sheer determination to live and after a month
long course of antibiotics, he overcame the infection, laminitis,
and more. Today he is a handsome and sound horse that could teach
many horses a few lessons on life.

Phar
Cone - 1988
Bay Thoroughbred Gelding
"Bugsy"
got his nickname from his white eye. He raced and won several
times in Oregon before he was retired with a fractured sesamoid.
He has long since recovered and spends his days the way many of
us would like to - with no stress.

Reckless
Native - 1996
Dark Bay Thoroughbred Gelding
This horse
arrived at the farm as a still growing three year old with a bowed
tendon. He has grown indeed - to well over 17 hands. He's earned
himself the title of "Fonzy" due to his "cool"
alpha attitude which dominates those around him. He definitely
seeks to be the center of attention.

Speedy
Affair - 1998
Bay Thoroughbred Gelding
Speedy has
a chip in his knee, but it doesn't seem to bother him now that
he's not racing. He's a fairly small horse in size and bone, but
nobody told him that. He enjoys challenging his companions to
a game of almost anything, and usually comes out ahead.

Sunday
Sermon - 1996
Dark Bay Thoroughbred Mare
The first
week Sunday was at the farm a polo player came by, looked at her
and jumped on her bareback with just the halter and rope and rode
her around the pen. She had just been off the track a few days,
but acted like an old saddle horse. He wanted to buy her on the
spot, but didn't understand that we don't "sell" horses,
especially for resale as he intended. So, she's still at the farm
playing with all her "buds".

Take
the Points - 1996
Bay Thoroughbred Gelding
"TP"
had a bowed tendon that caused his early retirement from racing.
He's healed and sound, enjoying his life of leisure and not sure
if he really wants to relinquish his idle time for a second career.

Wheatley
Hill - 1997
Dark Bay Thoroughbred Mare
"Miss
Wheatley" arrived with a fractured sesamoid, quite aloof
and untrusting. She's healed well, and now is almost a nuisance
wanting to be in the middle of things, but she's always a welcome
nuisance.
