More about career/placement options:
​This 15.3-hand bay gelding retired sound from racing for being too slow. He is super cute with a sweet face and big heart. Jack is getting some down time after arriving to our program, and seems to be a nice mover and an easy boy to handle. He has had three post track rides, and has been willing and level headed. Cribs but it is controlled with a collar.
