About Kid

If your goal is to turn heads in a crowd, forget about the little black dress and go for the big black horse instead! Kid From New York, a 16.2h, 2014 gelding by Dialed In out of Look Who’s Ritzy by First Samurai, would be a fashionable addition to anyone’s home. After running in 4 races, Kid enjoyed several months of R&R in our Clean Start Program. He’s now at the MMSC learning a whole new way of going and has shown us what a truly elegant athlete he is. What he needs, of course, is time, training, muscle, and miles. With these, he should go far. And he’s aptly named, too. Like any true New Yorker, Kid is accepting of people, challenges, and changing circumstances and he has a great sense of humor. He’s interested in everybody’s business, he’s extroverted, he vies for attention in goofy ways, and he’s utterly endearing. It’s no surprise to us that he was a barn favorite on the track. This “kid” has a style that any crowd would love!

About Sky

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away….Okay, a short time ago in the Horse Capital of the World, Sky Force arrived at the MMSC. An unraced, 16h, 4-year-old gelding by Sky Mesa out of Naskra Colors by Star de Naskra, Sky's special gleam was lost among the many stars at the racetrack, so his owners decided to let him shine elsewhere.  From day one at the MMSC, he did just that, winning everyone over with his sparkling “horsenality” and his bright mind. This horse loves interacting with people. If he were human, he would be a stand up comic, keeping crowds laughing at his quick playful wit and spot-on timing. But he has a serious side too. Puzzles and challenges light him up, making him an incredible competitive trail mount prospect. That said, his analytical brain, confident nature, and steady temperament would serve him well anywhere -as an eventer, jumper, dressage or ranch horse, western gaming competitor, etc. So, if you’re looking for an all-around mount to light up your life, then may the Sky Force be with you!

About Sterling

November 2018 - Do you remember Sterling Thunder? The 16.2hh, 2011 gelding by Mikimoto’s Mojo out of Gallaping Lass that we found at Mountaineer in August? At that time this warhorse was in dire straights, close to breathing his last. So we brought him to the Center with the intention of lovingly sending him on to greener pastures. But when Sterling saw the pastures at the MMSC, however, he decided they were green enough and he convinced us that we should help him fight the good fight to live another day. The prognosis was not good--we were told he would never be sound, and certainly not rideable.  And for many months, that was true. But never tell the stalwart Sterling what he can and cannot do! And never, ever, underestimate the powers of Father Time, Mother Nature, and Dr. Green. After more than a year in our Clean Start program turned out to pasture, this remarkable horse is back at the MMSC, SOUND and....RIDEABLE!  Take a look at his photographs, does he not look like the classic Thoroughbreds portrayed by author and illustrator, C,W, Anderson of the Billy and Blaze children's book series?  Tall, leggy, and all class, Sterling oozes elegance.  Intelligence and nobility are written all over his face. His eyes gleam with self assurance and pride, and he is always game for new vistas. This is a horse that embodies the best qualities of all Thoroughbreds - smarts, courage, character, and a will to live. You know it when you see him, and you’ll never forget him once you’ve met him.

About War of Ideas

October 2018 - Considering what he has been through, War of Ideas, a 16h, 2013 gelding by Warfront out of High Tap by Tapit, has indubitably earned the moniker "Warrior." It was Warrior's heart and fighting spirit, bolstered by the excellent care he received from the caring and generous Dr. Liz Barrett at Hagyard Equine Hospital and the time and rehab here at the MMSC, that beat the odds to survive a dangerous fungal infection. It was impressive. But then, he has always been impressive. As a 2014 Keeneland sales yearling, Warrior created an impressive furor of bidding due to his black type pedigree, balanced conformation, and correct limbs that resulted in a sale price of $470,000. He did well at the track, too, garnering $56,920 in just four starts. From the day he arrived at the MMSC, he impressed us with his irridescent gray coat, silver mane and tail, generous brow and lustrous brown eyes that make him look as if he stepped out of a fairy tale. But as he has progressed in his training in our Horse Centered Reschooling Program, it has been his quality of movement - uphill and balanced with suspension and rhythm - his athletic ability - stay tuned for a free-jump video - and his character - honest and willing with just enough swagger and presence to keep life interesting and to stand out in the show ring - that made us realize what a true champion of a horse he is. We are sure that this warrior will win hearts and excel on all fronts when he finds his person.

June 2018 - "Pretty as a picture" are the words that came to mind when we we saw this 16h, 2013 colt by Warfront out of High Tap by Tapit. Clearly others at the 2014 Keeneland sales thought so too, as he sold for $470,000! With his irridescent rose gray coat, his broad forehead denoting intelligence, his thick forelock and silver mane, not to mention his correct legs, balanced conformation, and black type pedigree, War of Ideas unleashed a furor of speculation as to his potential performance as a racehorse. Although he made $56,920 in just four starts, a longterm career in racing wasn't meant to be. Felled by a knee injury first and then a guttural pouch mycosis, a life-threatening fungal infection, Warrior came to our attention thanks to Dr. Liz Barrett of Hagyard. His owners did not want to incur the expense of treatment for such a precarious situation, so Dr. Barrett asked us, if she paid for all the treatments, vet visits, and castration, would we take him on. We told her we would, and he has been at the MMSC for a few weeks now, recuperating under her ever vigilant eye. We are happy to say that his last scope proved him to be fungal free, his knee is stable, and we were cleared to start training him in earnest. Heretofore we have done groundwork with him, and ridden him lightly. He still needs time to lose the vestiges of testosterone and to learn a new way of carrying himself, but we can tell you that he is as lovely in motion and under saddle as he is standing still. So if you want to be part of this pretty picture, come meet him soon!
