BLING
Chestnut Off the Track Thoroughbred | 2010
Bling is the personal horse of ranch owner, Shannon. Bling and Shannon do 3-day eventing together, and both are very good at it. He loves any and all sorts of attention, but needs a confident leader if he’s going to be taken out.
BOOMER
Bay Off the Track Thoroughbred | 2005
Boomer is willing to please anyone who rides him. He is a very advanced horse and is so automatic that he could work with anyone. Boomer loves attention, and can’t wait to be in the arena with a good rider and any horse-rider combo that wants to join his lesson. Privately owned.
BUNNY
Bunny is a new addition to TROTR and an homage to our name as an off-track thoroughbred looking to rehabilitate, relearn, and eventually find his forever home. He is as sweet as they come and loves giving hugs and kisses!

CASPER
Grade | 2011
He is thought to be part quarter horse and part paint. He is a fleabitten gray, about 15 years old. He is a very good boy, very sweet with tons of personality; he seems to love everybody, including other horses he meets for the first time. Although he is deaf, he does not spook easily. Considerate handling includes letting him see you as you approach instead of relying on your voice and to allow him to look at things. He is kind and calm, perfect for adaptive lessons.
