After Racing: Retraining Thoroughbreds

It was a bittersweet day on Saturday when Roxie, who was undoubtedly my favorite of foster horses, left for her new home in the Dayton, OH area. I have every belief that Rachel, Roxie's adopter, is going to give Roxie a fabulous home and life. In fact, I think she's probably the perfect home as she not only has a great support system that is very familiar with Thoroughbreds, but she also has experience with horses who have quirky behaviors or issues (like her ears). I think all is well, but that doesn't mean I don't miss her just a bit. :) Here are a few pictures of Roxie starting life with her new mom!  I'm really looking forward to photos and stories of their experiences together throughout the future.
