While the names will be completely unfamiliar I thought some might enjoy the stories and variety of what these awesome horses are doing now

New Zealand recently had two OTTB competing at the World Eventing Championship. One of them Just Kidding (Sun Of God) is on this page!

Hong Kong has become pretty good at finding a life for their horses after racing, part of the import fee for a horse goes towards its aftercare, whether it stays at the Riding School there or as the majority do, flight expenses to New Zealand or Australia.

He looks better then the other arrogate baby they were trying to adopt out. The grey one with horrible knees. Wonder what happened to him

if he's not on their website, chances are he was adopted as a companion. new vocations has quite a few horses that can't do anything beyond being a pasture ornament and they seem to get adopted out often.
