Riding a racehorse is the closest thing to flying without wings

Miracle Sonde

“Squirt” is an 8 year old, 15.2hh of the track thoroughbred. She has a few uncomplicated post-track rides, but her main job has been being a broodmare for the past few years. She had a 2025 filly and was a phenomenal mother, with a picture perfect pregnancy and delivery. She was lined up to carry an embryo this year, but at no fault of her own it didn’t work out. We love her, but sadly she would better serve someone else at this time. She would be a great addition to anyone’s broodmare or recip herd, or a great project for someone with more time on their hands, that has experience with OTTBs. With that being said, she is NOT a kids horse, she is very green. So don’t ask me if she would be a good fit for Billy Bobs cousins, 9yo step kid. She needs someone that has experience with these horses. A great home is a non-negotiable.

2013 16.2h TB mare. “Midnight Song” has been used as a broodmare recently, but is sound and has shown on HJ circuits. She is out of shape and needs legged up. Safe, but not for beginners.

Behind every great horse is a story of heart and grit.

538 Days | This Is Why You Do It

The sunrise doesn’t care what happened yesterday.

The horses don’t either.

They just greet a new day.

Maybe there’s a lesson in that.

Every step leaves a mark

Zenyatta is one of the greatest mares the racetrack has ever seen.

Her signature "dance" before each race, her neck bowed and her front legs stretching out with each prancing step, pawing at the ground almost rhythmically, entranced almost as many people as her running style.

At over 17 hands high, Zenyatta was too large to break from the gates like a rocket, but that didn't matter. She preferred to run at the rear of the field anyway, patiently awaiting the cue from her jockey to unleash her speed. And once he told her to go, her turn of foot and powerful stride allowed her to inhale each competitor with dangerous ease.

She won 19 consecutive races in this fashion, clearly besting every horse of her own gender who dared to face her. She even silenced naysayers when she became the first mare to defeat males in the 2009 Breeders' Cup Classic.

Though Zenyatta's 20th and final race did not end with her in the winner's circle, another garland of purple and yellow Breeders' Cup Classic flowers draped across her withers, the loss only added to her legend. To have at one point looked hopelessly beaten, trailing much too far behind the field, only to come up just a head short of victory, proved that her heart, her talent, and her desire to win were perhaps greater than anyone had ever imagined.

The five Eclipse Awards she won, including Horse of the Year after her defeat, every magazine she graced, and every television feature and article telling her story were all so deserved.

It's now been nearly sixteen years since Zenyatta last raced and three years since she delivered her final foal, yet her fame has not dwindled in the slightest.

At 22 years old, Zenyatta is still every bit as magnificent and inspiring as she was during her racing days, a living reminder of just how magical horse racing can be.
