Figy's Mobil Pride is a 15 year old, bay gelding located in Annville, PA that is looking for a new home through no fault of his own. The barn he's been at for years is shutting down and the owner needs to find a new option for him. With his age and experience, he has a lot to offer! This handsome gelding has some cool breeding as well being by Mobil and out of a Fusaichi Pegasus mare.

"Fiji" has been with his current owner since he retired from racing in 2016. In 2020 they started doing some hunters with him including going to a few shows and doing some jumping, though most of his experience has been in the form of miles logged out on the trail. While he lost vision in one eye about 5 years ago, he adjusted beautifully and it causes him no issues. He does great on trails with other horses and navigates the trails very well. He's mostly been ridden in English tack but is happy to take a western saddle as well.

This is a very sweet gelding with no vices that really loves attention and is willing to learn. Like a lot of Thoroughbreds he's smart enough to also learn what he can get away with, but it's reportedly with a good nature, with his owner saying he is more like a giant puppy than a horse.

His owner thinks he'd do really well in a lesson program or a place where he'll be visited frequently as he thrives on attention. He hasn't been ridden in a while and just needs someone willing to build trust and confidence so he can do his best in any direction they take him in. Fiji loves being in consistent work but that can also take the form of just spending his time with his people. He's been pretty good with kids on the ground, lives with two border collies and loves his owner's Boston terrier. The dogs all go out on the trails and he doesn't mind them at all.

This sounds like the perfect opportunity for someone who would like to own an OTTB but maybe isn't ready for one right off the track. It sounds like if someone is willing to shake the dust off under saddle, he's going to be a great partner for all kinds of adventures!

Let us know if you're interested and we can put you in touch with his owner!
