Honors Due is a 4 year old, bay gelding that came to us in partnership with Beyond the Wire in Maryland. He retired from racing after a lackluster career of 14 races. Upon retirement he was initially given to a groom at the track that hoped to turn him into a pony horse, but ultimately realized they did not have the resources to keep him.

Honor is by Instagrand and out of an Arch mare. This means he has Harlan's Holiday, Kris S, and Holy Bull all a few generations back. He reportedly retired sound and is a very good guy. He had a great intake evaluation with our veterinarian who found him clean and sound with an excellent prognosis. She said he could get turned out and go back to work any time!

While we're still getting to know Honor, he's been very good for basic grooming and handling in the barn so far. He just got turned out with his buddy Northern Flame and is getting some time to enjoy being a horse before we start his retraining. He's available now to someone with experience bringing along an OTTB themselves.

Stay tuned as we get more photos and information together on him!
