This guy is incredibly well bred. Born in Kentucky, he is by Union Rags and out of a Dynaformer mare. He never went through any sales but likely would have done very well if he had! Speak Unity retired after his 47th race, making him a warhorse in our books. Unity came to us with suspensory injuries in both front fetlocks. He's since been working his way through his rehabilitative plan and our vet believes he'll be able to do a lot once he's fully healed, including dressage and even jumping around 2'6". His most recent ultrasound in May looked very good and he was cleared to start small paddock turnout, with a return to full turnout estimated by mid-June. Unity arrived in just hind shoes (pictured) but is now barefoot. He has been very good to handle and has no vices whatsoever. He's a very pleasant horse with a sweet temperament. Hopefully he'll be one that's even amateur friendly down the road once he's able to get more turnout. He's available now to someone willing to give him the last bit of rest and turnout time he needs before going back to work. Certainly one worth taking a chance on now that his rehab is nearly complete! Unity is eligible for the Recover at Home program which you can read about here: https://www.aftertheraces.org/recoverathome After the Races is a rescue; this horse is for adoption, not for sale.
