Sir Alex will be coming to us by the middle of December. Sir Alex is a wonderfully bred standardbred who won lots of mulah as a two year old, but as a three year old didn’t progress as quickly as a racer. So his owners at the time decided to sell him and since he has become a lesson horse. Thanks to having conscientious owners at the time he wasn’t just shipped off the slaughter house or sold at auction to the highest bidder as happens to so many ex-race horses. He is now 10 years old, has been giving lessons consistently to intermediate-advanced students for the past six years. Due to the decision to downsize he has been offered for adoption at New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program in Laura, OH, where I just happened to see his video and immediately arranged to have him shipped to Baymount Farm. He will be incorporated into our lesson program just as soon as he is settled.
Standardbreds can trot and pace which makes them very valuable horses for many who are looking for multi-talented mounts. Watch the video on Sir Alex and see for yourself.
