About this item

Breed: Thoroughbred Gender: Gelding Age: 5 Height: 15.1hh Color: Dark Bay Disciplines: Driving, Eventing, Western Pleasure, Trail Riding, Endurance, Dressage, English Pleasure, Hunter/Jumper, Prospect for Any Discipline Adoption fee: $2,000 Location: After the Races — Elkton, MD SS Flat Out Fun is a 5 year old, 15.2 1/2 hand, bay gelding who came to us in partnership with Aftercare Charles Town. He raced 8 times without ever crossing the line first and is here to pursue new career options! This cute guy is by D'Funnybone and out of a Flatter mare. "Gilligan" had a great intake evaluation with our vet who found him sound and in great shape for his next career without any limitations. He has been enjoying his downtime on the farm, making great friends in turnout and being one all our volunteers enjoy handling and working with. Gilligan had his first ride with us recently and was a good boy. While he started out a little tense and unsure, he quickly settled into the ride and did some nice walk/trot work around our extra-large round pen. We believe it will be onward and upward from there now that he's had his first ride under his belt. He seems very eager to please. He has been a very sweet boy to handle. He enjoys being groomed and has no vices. He's currently wearing front shoes and has no special needs. He's ready for an adopter who enjoys restarting an OTTB and should make for a very fun project. Worth taking a chance on! Also, tall riders should not be discouraged from giving him a chance. He is built very wide through his shoulder and rib cage and will take up a surprising amount of leg. After the Races is a rescue; this horse is for adoption, not for sale. Message After the Races here on tacktack to ask about S S Flat Out Fun and the adoption process.
