About Clutch

A winner of $152,793 in 20 starts, Clutch Cargo is pure class. A 16.1h, 2014 gelding by Tapit out of Carmandia by Wild Rush, Clutch comes to the MMSC from Chestertown Farm in New York, and it’s clear that he’s been well-handled and well-cared for his whole life. Under saddle he is straightforward, and on the ground he is kind and engaging. But more than that, he is elegance itself. He flows like pure silk beneath his rider, soft in his mouth and rhythmic in his movement. His bold chrome markings complement his refined features, and even his coat is smooth as silk. If Clutch were a human, he’s the type to find a career as a journalist, keenly interested in people and the world around him, or as a musician, composing beautiful melodies and counterpoints that give his listeners all the feels. With such a thoughtful and gracious nature, he will do well with an equally tender and amiable person, and he should shine in the show hunter ring. Christened as our newest Legacy Horse, Clutch is truly a one-of-a-kind heart horse in the making - all he needs is his perfect match to complete his picture of elegance!

About Brown

Alltheleavesrbrown, a 16.3h, 2012 gelding by Big Brown out of Vickey Jane, had an impressive career on the racetrack. In 5 years, at 12 different tracks, and with nearly a complete tour around the United States, “Brown” started in 43 races, flashing brilliant speed and easily swatting away any challengers to his lead when the opportunity presented. Flash forward to the present. Brown has retired from his racing career sound, and a little spa treatment, body work, and educated hands have shown that he’s a naturally enthusiastic and quick learner. Time will tell what this generous gelding wants to do in his next career, but he is already proving that he is far more than just a pretty face.

About Brewer

With his espresso-colored coat and classically compact build, Brewer, a 16h, 3-year-old gelding by Orb out of Dance Craze, is sure to perk up your day. Precocious in all the right ways, he has the eagle eye of an eventer and the smarts and athleticism to back it up. He’s bold to jumps and undaunted by new questions. He knows what he wants, and he’s not afraid to share his opinions. What Brewer needs is the right person, someone who can be his guide rails as he grows up and learns the rules of the road; someone who can channel his sizable sense of self into confidence in a show ring or on a cross country course; someone who can forge a true partnership with him and bring out his best. So if you like your daily coffee dark, bold, and exciting, this handsome gelding is sure to be your brew of choice!

Brewer came to the MMSC with a chip in his knee. He’s sound, but he’s so talented that it makes sense to set him up for success at the highest levels and have the chip removed. Donations to help us pay for the surgery and layup are very welcome (DONATE HERE) and he will remain available for adoption (at a reduced adoption fee) pre-surgery if you are willing to commit to removing the knee chip. Radiographs are available to an approved adopter.

Summer Update: Brewer had his knee chip removed and is in rehab currently in our Clean Start Program. He will resume training in August 2019.

About Causeway

Warhorse alert! A 16h, 2008 gelding by the magnificent Giant’s Causeway and out of In the Gold by Golden Missile, Golden Causeway is everything you could want in a warhorse. Lovingly owned, cared for, and raced by trainer Troy Newton for the majority of his career, Causeway started in 63 races, ran at such famed tracks as Keeneland, Churchill Downs, and Saratoga, earned $116,075, stayed competitive through his 10-year-old season, and retired 100% sound. But like any true warhorse, the best thing about Causeway is his HUGE heart. He's always ready to work with enthusiasm and he gives his all to every task. He’s brave to new questions and is proving to be a quick learner, already having mastered cross rail courses. On the ground, Causeway is kind and gentle, and he adores attention of any kind, from grooming to meeting new people to enjoying a peppermint (or five!). As a seasoned racehorse, Causeway does have a go button, and with his newly discovered love of jumping, he should excel in show jumpers or eventing. If you’re looking for a classy and classic Thoroughbred, don’t pass this warhorse by. He’s ready and waiting for a worthy person to whom he can give his whole heart.

About Harley

A 16.1h, 2013 gelding by Harlan’s Holiday out of Mer de Glace by Unbridled, Harley Boy is aptly named, reminding us of his namesake. Like the motorcycle, Harley boasts a smooth, balanced motor, and also like the motorcycle, he takes a knowledgeable hand that can work with and around his unique (yet predictable) quirks. What separates him from the machine is his living horsenality and his desire to connect with a person. As we’ve gotten to know him, it’s become clear that Harley will excel in a program with a positive environment and a steady relationship. He’s even proving to be a wonderfully straight shooter when set up to win. On his first trail ride he gamely led the way across the water and happily jumped over our small logs. He is thoroughly enjoying his jumping lessons in the arena too, pricking his ears at every fence as he learns to find his spots. And as he continues to build a relationship with our trainer Kara, he grows daily in self-confidence and enthusiasm for his new career. What exactly that new career will be is yet to be determined. Blending the natural athleticism of a buff jock with an elegant style all his own on the flat, Harley has all the right pieces to excel as a sport horse. Now he just needs the right person - could that be you?

About Davos

A 16h, 2014 gelding by The Factor out of Imaginary Cat, Iron Mane aka "Davos" has quickly become a barn favorite. With dark, kind eyes and a dappled grey coat, Davos adapted amiably to life at the MMSC. He's proven to be an uncomplicated, honest ride. He is forgiving of mistakes and eager to try new things, traits that mark him as an amateur owner's horse in the making. And with relatives like War Front, Storm Cat, and Mr. Prospector, Davos is sure to impress with his athletic ability. Already he displays an eye-catching and rhythmic trot, a big walk, and a willingness to stretch over ground poles and jump over small fences. Though the Iron Throne might be beyond his reach, we think Davos could shine in a dressage arena or a show hunter ring. But regardless of the discipline, we know he'll always be the champion of his person's heart.

About Wonderful

Somekindawonderful, a 16.1h, 2016 gelding, truly lives up to his name. With a royal pedigree featuring Scat Daddy, sire of Triple Crown winner Justify, as well as Unbridled’s Song, Fappiano, and Buckpasser, names prized in sport horse pedigrees, “Wonderful” could go far in any discipline. He possesses a gleeful and boyish inquisitive nature, and his innate athleticism shines through with each training ride and romp in his pasture. At just 3-years-old, he is still learning to use all that he was blessed with - his suspension that effortlessly carries him forward, his short back and uphill build that will make jumping a breeze, and his charming attitude that wins him friends every day. Give this youngster time to grow physically and mentally and the right training program where he can continue to express himself while building confidence in his handler and his own body, and that charm will morph into a star-power charisma in the show ring, his jump will power him over any obstacle, and he’ll float with grace in a dressage or show hunter ring. We can’t say it enough - Wonderful is a wonderful prospect, sure to shine in his second career!

About Tua

Tuaandtwentysix, a 16h, 2016 gelding by Giant’s Causeway out of Sea of Showers by Seattle Slew, always puts a smile on our faces. Named for the Alabama football star who hails from Hawaii, “Tua” brings the island sunshine into our barn every day. Though he came to the MMSC right off the track - he last raced on June 27th - he settled right in and hasn’t looked back! Childlike and curious, this sweet gelding thrives on attention and cuddles, though with his willing attitude, he's equally happy to go to work under saddle, to play on our obstacle course, or to hang out in the barn and receive said cuddles. With his dished face and refined ears that harken back to his Arabian ancestors, his flashy chrome markings, his elegant frame, and a sparkle in his eye, Tua is sure to be a stand-out in any crowd, and his already balletic movement promises suspension, balance, and power that can be molded for any discipline. If you’re looking for a friend who can bring a bit of the island brightness, positivity, and love to your life, then look no further - Tua is the one for you!
