Geri

2021 | 15.3 h | Gelding | Located in Lexington, KY

Adoption Fee: $4,500

Gericault, known as “Geri” around the barn, is a flashy gelding who last raced on 11/24/2025 and is now looking for his person to shine with in a second career. Since arriving at the Secretariat Center, Geri has been nothing but a true gentleman.

He is easy to handle, stands quietly in the cross-ties, is good for the farrier, and loves being groomed. Under saddle, his first ride reflected the same steady demeanor—he took in his new surroundings and handled everything calmly and sensibly. With his great mind and athletic build, Geri shows excellent potential for a variety of disciplines, including eventing, jumping, foxhunting, polo, or even a western career.

As his last race was just a month before his arrival, Geri is still a bit tight in his body, which can be seen in his first ride video. With continued let-down time, conditioning, and retraining, we expect him to become increasingly relaxed, stretchy, and ready to thrive in a second career! He has already received chiropractic work and is up to date on vaccines, dental care, and farrier work.

Geri is currently turned out with two other geldings and gets along well with his pasture mates. With his kind temperament, good manners, and willingness to learn, he is an exciting prospect for someone looking to develop a sensible, athletic thoroughbred for a second career.
