Bar N K Rescue & Placement

Welcome to the Off Track page.


The listings here are for horses that have been trained but not raced, raced and haven't broke their maiden or have retired from track life.

You will find youngsters not of racing age, racing age, broodmares and studs in the attached pages.

These horses are coming from owners do care where their horses go otherwise they wouldn't have contacted me. All horses have had their pictures taken by me unless noted.

All the owners/barns/training stables are wanting their horses to go to good homes to enjoy a second career. All show potential of something, even if it's a trail horse life. Some, although they are TB's or Standardbreds, can be good kids horses with a little patience. A misconception of track horses, is that they are high strung and hard to handle. While some are, most can be brought off their " track high " and can be as gentle as a kitten.

Please feel free to
contact us for more information on any of the horses listed. 



 
 

Gabby - Keep on Gabbin - April 12, 2004 By: Matthews Keep (Hang Together) Out of: Bold Faced (ARG) By: Bold Forli   TB filly. 16 - 16.1 HH. Grey. Loves attention and first to the gate. She isn't registered so will be sold as a grade. If you want to register her, owner will provide paperwork for you. Was trained at the track as a 2 yr old but had a stifle injury but is completely sound now. Hasn't been ridden since so would need a minimum of 30 days on her. $ 1000. Located in Okotoks, AB NOTE: Mathews Keep & Bold Face have recently passed away and both were owned by the same owner of Gabby and Jewel below. Both were in their 20's.



Hidden Jewel - April 16, 1996 By: Take Me Out   Out of: Danessa  By: Danzatore 17 - 17.1 HH Bought from the Keenland Sale as a 4 yr old in foal. Been with this owner ever since. Being sold as a broodmare as she hasn't been ridden since she was 3. Throws powerful babies with her calm disposition and lots of bone. Second to the gate after Gabby above. I have personally handled her babies at the track and you wouldn't know they are TB's. I can hand walk them with a loose lead and they stay right beside you. No goofyness whatsoever. $ 1500.
Located in Okotoks, AB

Meesha - 4 yr old bay filly. 15.1 - 15.2 HH. Good, stout little mare. Sound and sane. I have personally handled this mare and she would be an excellent junior mount. Would make an excellent gymkhana mare. Loves treats and scratches. Easy to handle and a very smooth ride. $ 1000. Located in Okotoks, AB.
 
     
Mazatland Surf - 4 yr old, dk bay gelding 16 - 16.1 HH. Has raced and won at the Lethbridge track. Quiet but has some go. Has lots of go so for an experienced rider. $ 1500. Located near Redwater, AB. Back in training and will be racing in Grande Prairie. HAVE JUST TALKED TO THE OWNER AND SURF, WHAMMY AND SMARTIE ARE ON A DINNER PLATE IN EUROPE RIGHT NOW. SNOOZE YOU LOOSE!!!!!


  
Sideswipe Whammy - 4 yr old chestnut gelding. 15.3 - 16HH. Has raced at Northlands. Has done trails in the mountains for 30 days. Crosses water, bridges, trees. Experienced intermediate rider. $ 1500. Located in Redwater, AB. Back in training and will be racing in Grande Prairie.



   
 

Smartie Britches - 10 yr old dark bay gelding. Has won $ 40K+ on the track in Edm and Lethbridge. Would need a refresher but once he's had 30 days on him, would make an awesome junior mount. $ 1200. Located in Redwater, AB.

The one thing I will say about the owner of the above 3 horses, is that they are taken care of and very well mannered. All you do is call 1 of them and they all come over. All easy to catch and are good for farrier. All are friendly and love attention. I have yet to see any of them kick or bite and all 3 have 3 other horses with them so they are good with other horses.

Update July 2 - Mazatlan and Whammy have been put back into training and will be racing in Grande Prairie

Updated Aug 25 - Above 3 horses are now on a dinner plate in Europe right now. Snooze, you loose!! And what a shame this is!!!!!
