Tali

2023 | 16.1 h | Gelding | Located in Lexington, Ky

Adoption Fee: $2,000

**Due to some recent findings on his X-rays and a PPE we are offering Talmadge at a reduced price**

Talmadge, or Tali in the barn, is a just-turned-3-year-old gelding who raced twice before retiring, and he is already showing all the makings of a fantastic sport horse. Tali is truly the whole package! He is incredibly sweet, easy to handle, and has quickly become a favorite in the barn. He stands quietly in the crossties, enjoys being groomed, and has a kind, willing demeanor that makes him a pleasure to work with.

Under saddle, Talmadge has been a standout from the start. Watching him float across the ground when free jumping, we already know he is going to shine in the hunter ring! He moves beautifully, has a very easy natural lead change, and has already demonstrated his love and athleticism when it comes to jumping. He most recently has learned about connection and is starting to carry himself in the bridle and over his back. He is so smart, and each ride he picks up right where he left off from the previous ride. This horse is very talented and has a bright future ahead of him. In his most recent videos, we jumped him under saddle, and he proved to be a natural. Even though he is only 3, we can tell that he is going to make a fantastic show partner for someone. We have also hacked him all around the property, and he loves to “stop and smell the flowers” so to say. He is so quiet and easy going, we could see him making a great partner for anyone.

With his athleticism, movement, and overall presence, we see Talmadge excelling as a hunter prospect, with the potential to also succeed in the derby ring in the future. We recently put aluminum shoes on his front feet, he is up to date on all vaccinations an dental work, and is turned out in a group of geldings, though he has previous experience in a mixed herd.

Talmadge is an exciting young horse with a bright future ahead, and we look forward to continuing his development as he progresses in his training.

 Chili

2021 | 15.2 h | Gelding | Located in Lexington, Ky

Adoption Fee: $5,500

More Hot Sauce , or known in the barn as Chili, is the kind of horse everyone loves to have in the barn. He is so kind, willing, and is game for whatever is asked of him. Chili is incredibly sweet, enjoys being groomed, and has a naturally eager-to-please attitude that makes him a joy to work with.

Despite only recently arriving, Chili has already shown how quickly he learns and adapts. Under saddle, he has been very straightforward and comfortable, with smooth, easy gaits that make him feel like a “couch” to ride. He has also already demonstrated a natural talent for jumping, approaching fences straight and confidently, staying soft in the bridle.

With his versatility, athleticism, and excellent mindset, Chili has the potential to excel in a variety of disciplines. We could easily see him thriving in the hunter or jumper ring, eventing, western disciplines, or even polo—he truly seems like the type of horse who will rise to whatever his rider asks of him. We could also see Chili being a great mount for pony club!

Most recently, Chili participated in the RRP demos during the K3DE. He had never been down to the horse park before, and took it all in so well! There were tents, flags, banners, golf carts, food trucks, and lots of people, and he went straight to work. The demos that he was involved in were Introducing Green Horses to Jumping and the in-hand Picking Prospects. He flatted and jumped around the Walnut ring so well, and after these demos, we really could see this horse making a great show horse, eventer, or pony club mount for someone! He is an adult amateur’s dream! He is so fun to ride, takes in his surroundings very well, and is going to finish up very nicely!

Chili is an exciting prospect for someone looking for a willing, adaptable partner with a bright future ahead.

Chili is eligible for the 2026 Thoroughbred Makeover.

Greeley and Ben is a 12-year-old gelding with an impressive racing career behind him. In 47 starts, he had 25 wins and retired with earnings of $996,888. Now retired and sound, along with plenty of downtime under his belt, Greeley is ready to begin his next chapter and shine in a second career.

Greeley is an incredibly kind and gentle horse who loves attention and gets along well with turnout buddies. Although he only arrived at the Secretariat Center on May 9, he has settled in beautifully. He stands quietly for grooming and bathing, has excellent feet, and had his first ride with us on May 11.
