Posted on by [email protected]
The Best Horse I Ever Did See I am saddened to announce that longtime resident and breed ambassador Dancing Spunky passed away June 19 at the age of 32 years old.  He touched many lives and did more than I can illustrate here to promote the Thoroughbred and retired racehorse breed.  “Punkie” was kind, gentle and always willing to do as asked.  He was smart and able to pony any...

Mystical Harbor

Posted on by [email protected]
What do you do with a four-year-old barely broke to ride Thoroughbred that spooks and cribs? That horse was Mystical Harbor, or “Fellow” as we call him. For various reasons, his owner could not start him under saddle until he was four and then decided to send him to TPR.

Irish Silk

Posted on by [email protected]
Irish Silk is a 3 year old Thoroughbred filly who stands 16 hands with room to grow. She raced 15 times and last raced on Nov. 1, 2014. She has been retired sound, because her trainer feels she just isn't fast enough.  She is beautiful, elegant and classy and would be better suited to a new career.  Silky is athletic and a nice mover so the show world has many options for her.  She has a well deve...
