Red
Our man Red arrived on Sept 1 as part of an owner surrender situation. This good looking gelding stands 15 hands and is 23 years old. Red is blind in his left eye but has adjusted well. He is slowly being reintroduced to the world outside a stall, where he has spent the last several years. He loves attention and his outdoor time. Red is easy to halter and lead. He will be looking for his new home later this Fall. Could it be with you?
Dixie
Dixie and her pal Dolly arrived late August 2024 and currently reside at our quarantine barn. Dixie is a beautiful bay snowflake standing 15 hands. She's 20 years old. Dixie had her right eye removed but gets around just fine. Both mares are enjoying some extra TLC while preparing for the next chapter of their lives. Watch for updates when both become available later this fall.
Helena
Update Sept 1: Helena and Firefly departed VEWS to begin in residence, after-track riding training and assessment with a trainer. Please check back for their progress reports.
Helena arrived at VEWS July 2 through our partnership with Aftercare Charles Town (ACT); a 501(c) program dedicated to rehoming retired racehorses coming off the track at Charles Town Races.
Helena is registered under the name "Supersnake." She had 33 starts and last raced in December 2023. This 5 year old mare stands 15.3. She is a beautiful, sweet mare who is enjoying her let-down time at VEWS and will be ready for assessment later this summer. Please watch for Helena's updates.
Britt
How cute is this little guy? Britt arrived at VEWS on Sept 1 as part of an owner-surrender situation. This handsome gelding stands 12.1 and is 20 years old. He is a gentleman to lead and handle. During a VEWS volunteer training session just one week after his arrival, Britt showed the big guys how it's done! He walked and trotted the obstacle course in hand like a pro! He'll be looking for his new home soon!
Dolly
Dolly arrived with her BFF Dixie in late August 2024. Currently the pair is at our quarantine barn for some extra TLC. Dolly is 17 years old and stands 12.3. A gorgeous strawberry roan mare, Dolly is a cute pony with expressive eyes and a desire to connect with humans. We anticipate she will be ready for adoption in a couple months or so. Stay tuned!
Moon
Gorgeous chestnut and white Moon arrived at VEWS on Sept 1 as one of the horses from a large owner surrender situation. Moon is 10 years old, and stands 14.1. She has never been saddle trained but leads and handles well. We believe Moon has DSLD in her hind limbs, so she will be suitable as a companion only once she's ready for her new chapter. A sweet mare, Moon is settling in just fine. Stay tuned!
Firefly
Update Sept 1: Helena and Firefly departed VEWS to begin in residence, after-track riding training and assessment with a trainer. Please check back for their progress reports.
Firefly, like her buddy Helena, is an OTTB who arrived at VEWS July 2 through our partnership with ACT.
Registered as "Zupita," this 4 year old mare stands 16h. Firefly had 23 starts and last raced in April 2024. She retired off the track sound. She, like Helena, is adjusting well to her let-down time at VEWS. She enjoys interacting with humans and seeks attention. She will also be ready for assessment later this summer. Stay tuned for updates!
