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.

Two In The Bush
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.
