"No Alibi"
2008 Registered Bay Thoroughbred Gelding

"Alibi" came to Lollypop Farm in the fall of 2019 after his owner could no longer afford to care for him. He had a very brief racing career of 5 races. Alibi spent most of the time since retiring from the track sitting in a field. He came to us a bit skinny, had ulcers, and very neglected teeth. He had a full treatment of Gastrogard, lots of good care, and is a totally different horse today. Alibi is UTD on shoeing (wears front shoes), vaccines, dental work, and deworming. He started back into work this past summer, and has picked up on riding very quickly. He is currently going walk-trot under saddle, and working on large circles and figure eights while learning to steer and accept contact. He also gets ridden outside to gain exposure to sights and sounds. Alibi is more whoa than go, has a great work ethic, doesn't spook easily, and is a true pleasure to ride. He really loves people, and gets along great with other horses. Alibi does have some hock arthritis, and after consulting with our vet should not be jumped. He would make a great pleasure mount, low-level dressage mount, or a trail horse with more training. He would make a fun project for somebody looking for a quieter OTTB.

Suitable for a rider experienced in restarting OTTB's, or an Intermediate rider with a trainer.

Adoption Fee: $1,000
