Standardbreds Available For Adoption

Application To Adopt

Adoption fees depend on the horse's age and training. Fees are driven by costs incurred while retraining, transporting, housing, and providing medical care for the horse. These horses are learning their balance under a rider and usually need an intermediate rider (who can post). Most have been shod their whole lives and may need to remain shod for their continued comfort. Some can canter, but many are not able to canter with a rider. Please take these facts into consideration so together we can make good matches for these horses. Serving the New England region.

Smart Move

14-year-old Bay Gelding

Smart Move - AKA Smarty.  Smarty (0J133) is a 14-year-old,15.2 hand gelding that retired from racing in the fall of 2022.  He trained and raced as a pacer but has a nice trot under saddle.  He will offer to canter to the right on the lunge but has not yet been asked to do so under saddle.  Smarty was previously adopted through FFS but has recently returned to us through no fault of his own.  He is back in light training and is doing well in the arena during this weather-riddled winter.  Short walks outside with a friend are possible when weather and ground conditions permit.  Smarty is looking for a family to call his own.  If he sounds like a good fit for your family, please complete the adoption application, located at the top of the page.

Pembroke World

5-year-old Bay Gelding

​FFS is excited to introduce Pembroke World, aka World, tattoo 0V739, a 5-year-old pacing gelding.  World retired from race training in the fall of 2023 but never raced.  World has completed his introductory training process and is ready to make someone a wonderful partner.  Standing at a large 16 hands, he is a beautiful, large-bodied horse with many wonderful years ahead of him.  He is currently under saddle W/T and shows no tendency to become pacey or nervous-gaited.  He even shows a canter in both directions on the lunge, which is exciting. We believe he will make a successful dressage or Open show partner.  New sights tend to pique his curiosity, so we have found he is most comfortable in an arena setting for now.  He is currently training in Athens, Pennsylvania.   If World sounds like a good fit for your family, please complete the application at the top of the page.
