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.

About Cece

A 16.3h, 2016 filly by Graydar out of Curious Cat, “Cece” stood out as a youngster with her stunning good looks, her large stature, and her kind nature. Her breeder, Christian Black of Blackstone Farm in PA, knew she would be happier and would shine brighter in a sport horse career, so he reached out to us. And we are so thankful that he did! Cece has been an absolute joy and a pleasure in the barn. We can’t say enough good things about this filly. She displays rhythmic gaits and a graceful turn of foot at liberty. She engages easily and willingly with humans. She learns quickly and is always curious to explore new questions. Her jump is balanced, effortless, and full of promise. In short, Cece was born to be a show horse. Can you picture her a year or two down the road, taller and filled out, braided to perfection, with a knowledge of the bit and the developed musculature to lift and power from behind? The image is breath-taking. This filly is truly special and she's sure to be a winner wherever she goes!

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 newly in training, but has proven to be an uncomplicated, comfortably forward, 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. 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.

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 Savannah

Savannah Bay is a 16.3h, 13-year-old TB gelding. He was a stunning youngster, selling for $1.2 million as a yearling at Keeneland. After his racing career, he was donated to the MMSC and thence adopted as a fox-hunter. And he’s been hunting ever since! Savannah has hunted in the field and as a whipper-in’s horse. He is solid and tough and can hunt easily several days a week. He would be best for someone interested in going second flight regularly. Priced to sell to good owner.
