Meet Paynted, a wonderful 2016, 16 1/2 hand Thoroughbred gelding who’s looking for a new chapter in his life. While he’s had a successful racing career with 24 starts, including six wins (two just this year!), he’s ready to transition to a new career. At seven years young, he’s all set for a fresh start in a loving forever home as a sport horse.

This handsome fella is a true gem, both in his looks and behavior. He’s a stunning mover, and his manners on the ground are top-notch. Whether you’re into dressage, eventing, or hunter disciplines, he’s up for the challenge. He’s a breeze to handle for the blacksmith, while trailering, and with the vet. With his impressive presence and outstanding movement, he’s bound to catch everyone’s eye in the show ring.

Paynted has some incredible breeding in him. His maternal grandfather is Tiznow and his paternal grandmother, Tizso, is a full sister to Tiznow. Tiznow’s breeding goes back to Relaunch and Seattle Slew. Paynted’s sire is Paynter whose sire is Awesome Again. Side note: Paynter (Paynted’s sire) was second in the Awesome Again Stakes (named for Paynter’s sire). Paynted is extremely well bred and the fact that he has raced so long tells you he has good genes. See Paynted’s pedigree to see his remarkable family. Paynted’s lineage is truly remarkable. His family tree boasts names like Tiznow, Relaunch, and Seattle Slew, making for some incredible breeding.

While Paynted is a light cribber, his habit is fully under control with a strap, which his owner will provide. Importantly, he doesn’t crib when he’s turned out, and many horses tend to leave such habits behind when leaving the racing scene. Additionally, he has old and well-set osselets that won’t impact his future pursuits. He’s an easy keeper and has enjoyed time with other horses during breaks from racing. He is believed sound for any career.

This incredible horse has so much potential, and despite his minor quirks, he’s an ideal candidate for someone willing to look beyond them. In fact, he could be a fantastic candidate for next year’s Retired Racehorse Project. With his rich history and promising future, Paynted is ready to become a cherished companion in his next adventure.

Please call for pricing. The price can go up or down depending on the owner. We always check with the owner when someone is a serious buyer. Many times the price goes down to a really good home. We do not own these horses so we cannot control the pricing. We will not sell a horse to just anyone with the money. We carefully select the horses we sell and we work hard to make a perfect match. If you don’t call, we cannot help you. We are not a rescue and our horses are not ‘rescue priced’. Most horses are between $2,500 and $5,500 – some higher and some lower. Call and we can talk more about our horses and let us help you find the perfect match. We take the gamble out of getting a Thoroughbred off-the-track. Learn more about how our Track Prospect Horses are priced on the main Bits & Bytes Farm website.

I look forward to speaking with you. Please call 770-704-6595 between 9am and 9pm. East Coast Time – Elizabeth Wood
