Distinguished
and regal, Well Met is a 4 year old Thoroughbred gelding. He
retired from racing because he'd rather not.
He's sound,
sweet and lovable. He also reminds me of my own horse Willie - a lot and
Willie is some kind of nice horse!
He has been
foxhunting in the 2nd field and graduated to the 1st field with
Elkridge-Harford Hunt. He's a very willing and talented jumper. Stands
at checks.
He's been to a few schooling jumper shows and has been in the ribbons. He also
shows potential as an event horse.
This guy is
priced at $7,500 and is currently located in Sparks, Maryland. Please
contact me for more information.
Hasufel is a
grey 7 year old Thoroughbred gelding. He stands16 hands with a
substantial build.
Bred and
trained by his owner, he was exceptionally fast and honest.
He started 8
times, with 3 wins, 1 second, and 2 thirds. His racing career was cut
short due to two injuries which have had lots of time to heal, he is now
perfectly sound.
He has done some ring work, and been introduced to jumps. He is also
a dependable ride cross country. He has been ridden sporadically this winter,
and is ready for any second career. He is a cribber.
Hasufel is $2,500
and is currently located in Pasadena, Maryland. Please
contact me for more information.
Save Me Some
is a bay 8 yr old Thoroughbred gelding.
He is 16.1
hands and was less brilliant than his brother as a racehorse, but always
ran well.
He made 32
starts with 3 wins, 8 seconds, and 10 thirds. His last start in June of
2011 was a roughly run race, he was cut off and taken up sharply and
still finished second. After the race there was heat in one knee and
x-rays showed a small chip. Save Me came home, and has been turned out
since then. He has not been ridden, but is ready to start light work. He
is sound in the field.
Save Me is
priced at $1,000 and is currently located in Pasadena, Maryland. Please
contact me for more information.
Homefire is a
16.3 hand, 6 year ol Thoroughbred mare who has tons of potential for any
discipline. She has no vices and is currently barefoot and on
turnout after retiring from racing.
This adorable
girl has a substantial build and a large stride fit for any discipline.
She has been
off the track and turned out on the farm for a couple months and is
sound and ready for a new career.
She also has
impeccable bloodlines that would be an asset to any broodmare band.
Homefire
priced at $1,500 and is currently located in Highland, Maryland. Please
contact me for more information.
Meet the classy and
beautiful CetInMyWays. She is an athletic and great mover.
Her manners are
exceptional. She absolutely hates being a racehorse and would be happy to
be in a life where her many and finer qualities could be appreciated.
Although she has
always tried on the track, she has not been competitive.
Maya is up to date on
all vaccinations and deworming and has a current coggins.
I'm First
is a 16 hand, newly turned 4 year old gelding.
Cupcake is
retiring sound with no wind problems and his owner is
having health issues and getting out of the business.
He is
successful in lower level turf races but it is had to
justify keeping him until next summer.
He has no
vices and trailers well.
This is a
guy with lots of potential for sure. He would
definitely do best in a situation where he has a job
such as an Eventer or Jumper, maybe even Dressage horse.
He is very
cute and willing (the jumping picture is his first time)
but will need an experienced rider because he is a lot
of horse, in a good way, if you are looking for that
next great athlete.
Cupcake is
available for $ 3,000 and is located in Boyce,
Virginia.

Cal is a 16 hand,
incredibly friendly chestnut Thoroughbred gelding. He just arrived at
Leighton Farm yesterday, January 1, 2012. Happy New Year Cal!
He raced three times
but does not want to be a racehorse - he really never did.
He is a very nice
mover and four years old. Call has no vices or soundness issues. He
has been lovingly trained by his breeders, a husband and wife team at Bowie
Training Center.
I'm really tight on time so I have to do things when I can. It
happened that when he arrived on the farm, it was sunny and nice.
I also had volunteers here to do the filming. so less than two
hours after he arrived at Leighton Farm, I got on him and we made
the video.
I
think this demonstrates what an especially nice horse, Cal is.
He's going to make someone a happy horse owner and I don't think there's
anything this boy can't do.
Cal is up to date on his vaccinations and has a current coggins.
Cal is
priced at $1,000 and is located at Leighton Farm in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
Delilah is
a gorgeous gray Thoroughbred filly who had an
unremarkable and consequently short racing career.
Our volunteer remarked to the trainer that she bet the
track announcer had a tough time with her name during
the race, but he responded that the announcer didn't
need to say it very often. Her registered name is
WhyWhyDelilah.
Delilah
is 3 years old and stands 16 hands already. She's going to be one
big girl once she grows up!
Delilah has
no vices and is perfectly sound. No racing
injuries, not fast enough.
She has been
introduced to cross
ties and is very good for a greenie. She ships
like a dream and is easy to work with on the ground.
At the present time, I am hacking her on the farm and
not working her in the arena at all. I feel she is
too young for that sort of work right now. In 30
or 60 days I will begin ring work and her price will be
adjusted to reflect that. In the video, that is
the first time I was ever on her (volunteers have been
hacking her). It was also her first time in the
arena. I think it's obvious how nice this filly
is.
Delilah is
available for a tax deductible donation to Thoroughbred
Placement and Rescue, Inc. of $ 2,500 and is located at
Leighton Farm in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.

She is
16.3 hands and perfectly sound.
Brownie comes from a family of successful steeplechasers and
foxhunters. They are all super jumpers.
Her
owners bred and raced her and wish she was faster than she is,
but it seems she will make someone an outstanding event horse.
She has been turned out full time for the last few months and is
ready to start a new career.
Brownie is up to date on all vaccinations and has a current
coggins.
She
has no vices.
Brownie
is offered for $3,000, she is located in Boyce, Virginia.

Beautiful Star has been off the track since she was two, being
hacked and allowed to grow by a loving owner. Now at five
years old she has begun serious work.
I've had her here at Leighton Farm since September and have found
her to be a consummate lady. She has been building
strength and stamina and skills.
As she
builds up, we see her true potential. Star works well with
other horses or alone. She is turned out with three other
fillies and they are gal pals.
Star
is 16 hands and has no vices.
Click here to see
her videos. She just participated in her first dressage
show and won both classes with a 66 and 67%! I've added a video of
one of her tests.
Star
participated in her first jumper show on December 3, 2011 and
handled this new experience like a champion. I rode her in three 2' jumper classes.
Her second show was at Swan Lake in Pennsylvania. They had
a Christmas tree surrounded by reindeer in the center of the
course! Star handled it and continues to develop.
Star
shows great potential with jumping, being very cat like and smart.
Everyone working with her agrees that she
is very good with her knees. I am currently jumping her
twice per week over low obstacles and she likes it. She
has now shipped off the farm to work with David Loman, Jim Wofford
and Sharon White. Elizabeth Madlener is overseeing her
dressage development. She is cantering lines and doing basic
gymnastics. Star has jumped up to 3' at this point easily,
but she is schooling 2'6".
The more I do with this girl,
the more impressed I become. She has a great mind and
that's as important as the talent she is exhibiting.
Star
is offered for a $10,000 tax deductible donation to Thoroughbred
Placement and Rescue, Inc. She is stabled at Leighton Farm
in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
