How to buy a Horse Off the Track and other Info:
These horses are for private sale, not for adoption.
Adoption policies, fees and contracts do not
apply to horses advertised
on the Track Listing pages.
These horses are owned by their Race owners, not Friends
of Ferdinand.
Friends of Ferdinand volunteers visit the backside of
Hoosier Park and Indiana Downs every weekend during the
race season. Horses whose racing careers are ending or
had a lackluster beginning are offered here for sale.
Information given in these ads is information given to
FFI volunteers by the owner, trainer, or agent.
Friends of Ferdinand is not responsible for
misinformation or inaccurate descriptions. Buyer
Beware.
Heights are an estimate. These horses have not been
sticked.
If interested in seeing a horse, please call the
owner/trainer/agent directly to make an appointment.
Their name and phone number is given in the text of the
ad.
Please do not call unless you are a serious buyer.
Trainers are very busy people, and non-serious inquiries
are considered a waste of their time and make them not
want to list future horses with FFI.
You cannot ride a horse if it is still at the track.
You can ask to have it jogged in-hand, you can make your
appointment at a time that you can watch it race, or
exercised.
You cannot bring a vet onto the backside of the track
that is not licensed with the Racing Commission. If you
would like a vet check,
we can give you the contact information for vets that
routinely work at the track.

3 year-old gelding
15.1 hands tall
Asking $1000
Added 9/08
Bush is a lovely
3 year-old gelding that has never been raced.
He's too slow to be competitive. Bush was very
calm and every bit of a gentleman for his photo
shoot. He's been ridden under western tack, on
the trails, and under english tack. Bush's
owner states that he has no injuries, no vices,
clips well. This little guy has several more
years to grow, with a thicker quarter-horse
build. He is barefoot sound, is an easy keeper
and is good with yearlings.
