Meet Tini (registered Jockey Club name, Santini) a 2014 Florida bred thoroughbred horse. As a yearling, Santini was sold for $100,000 at the Ocala Breeder’s sales, he was then sold once again at racing age and went onto win his maiden race at Gulfstream Park. Records show he raced in one further race. Santini had fallen into the wrong hands, hands that led to us finding Santini at at Alabama kill pen.
At rescue Santini was 1 of 3 stallions found duking it out together in the same pen. We were able to rescue Santini along with the bay, Louis. The gray stallion found a safe landing and is doing well.
Santini arrived with neglected feet, teeth and was in need of groceries. Since he arrived in ILEHC’s care, Tini has shown us just how resilient and full of personality he is. He LOVES his food, is very chatty and full of knickers and whinnies when he see’s his humans. He is already rounding out quite sufficiently ! He’s playful and a little mischievous but kind and friendly. Santini arrived with us a stallion, as part of his rehabilitation and preparation for future adoption he has recently been gelded. Watch this space for further information on his progress and future adoption.
