This classy girl retired from the track in the fall of 2009 after 29 starts and earning just shy of $42,000. She deserves a great retirement and we're here to help her find it! FFI was able to take in Double Dots thanks to a grant received by the Indiana HBPA. Dot is currently awaiting an intake exam so that we know more about her future abilities, but so far, her foster home reports that she is easy to get along with, stands well for grooming, and is a quick learner. She easily figured out lunging and when turned out in the arena, free jumped two small fences on her own. Her foster home has already ridden her (just walk & trot) with no issues and reports that she has a comfortable gait. Click here for Dot's pedigree. More information will be available soon on this sweet girl. Visit Dot's info page by clicking here.

FFI would like to thank Foxton Farm of Romney, IN for providing discounted entry fees to horses currently in the FFI program. We're excited to be able to show off the skills these horses already have, as well as help them learn new skills that will ensure successful post-racing careers. Be sure to visit Foxton Farm's website and learn about their winter show series in both dressage and hunter/jumpers.

Lori was conducting a equine rescue clinic when she met volunteers with Friends of Ferdinand, Inc. Having just lost a horse a few months earlier, Lori checked the FFI website and found Stormy, a 6 year old thoroughbred ex-racehorse available for adoption that preferred being a trailhorse, and she considered that Stormy might be her next riding partner. Lori participates in competitive and endurance trailriding, and comments that “thoroughbreds are not seen in these events, but they are ideally suited for the sport because they are built for speed and endurance”.
