This horse arrived at the farm as a still growing three year old with a bowed tendon. He has grown indeed – to well over 17 hands. He’s earned himself the title of “Fonzy” due to his “cool” alpha attitude which dominates those around him. He definitely seeks to be the center of attention. Fonzy […]

1988 Bay Thoroughbred Gelding “Bugsy” got his nickname from his white eye. He raced and won several times in Oregon before he was retired with a fractured sesamoid. He has long since recovered and retired and spends his days the way many of us would like to – with no stress.

1993 Bay Thoroughbred Gelding “Bones” is his nickname and he’s quite an individual. He arrived with a known suspensory injury and an unknown systemic infection, which caused him to lose weight to the point he was nicknamed “Bones”. However, through sheer determination to live and after a month long course of antibiotics, he overcame the […]

1994 Chestnut Thoroughbred Gelding “Frenchie” arrived at the farm with a fractured sesamoid, which has long since healed well. His flaxen mane and tail make him a striking individual. He and his paddock-mates do a lot of playing around.

1984 Dark Bay Standardbred Gelding “Joe” is a Standardbred that has been ridden, but prefers to be driven. He rules over the other horses in his pasture – all Thoroughbreds, and is really “bomb-proof”.

Dark Bay Thoroughbred Gelding “Light” was owned and bred by Golden Eagle Farm, the leading breeder in California. However, instead of the Mabees, owners of Golden Eagle Farm, taking him home to retire, he’s been with GEVA since he stopped racing due to mutliple chips in his knees. He appears sound, but there’s a lot […]

“Klassy” the athlete, also has quite the personality. His bowed tendon has set so he will not be compromised in any future career. He seems to never get enough attention and clammers for more by pawing in his water trough.

2002 dark bay or brown Thoroughbred Filly “Luvy” is a lightly raced 2002 dark bay or brown filly. She’s sound because she wasn’t a race horse long enough or run fast enough to injure herself. Smart filly. She’s got a sweet disposition and is currently courting The Barking Shark, along with the other of Shark’s […]

1991 Chestnut Thoroughbred Gelding “Govie” is one of the better known racehorses at the farm having won 19 of 55 races and almost $200,000. His ankle is almost the size of a grapefruit. When he arrived you could hear bone clicking on bone, since there was no cartilage left in it. Today the ankle is […]

“Ace” arrived with a bowed tendon, but has recovered so you wouldn’t even know he had one. He’d jump in your pocket if you’d let him and really has quite the personality.
