Thedayofthegrey
Your Dream Grey Gelding Has Arrived
This is the horse that everyone asks us for!
If you’ve been waiting for that unicorn—a big, kind, classy grey gelding—meet Thedayofthegrey, a 2019 Thoroughbred standing a gorgeous, leggy 16.2 hands.
This stunning boy has raced 32 times, earned nearly $300,000, and still comes to you clean‑legged, sound, and without the typical wear you’d expect from a campaigner. He is deeply loved by his owner and barn family, which is exactly why he’s being retired now—his owner refuses to risk losing him to a claim. This is a horse someone has truly cared about.
Why You Will Love Him:
- Sweet, steady, and uncomplicated to ride
- Excellent mover with a naturally soft, easy way of going
- Experienced traveler—racetrack chaos won’t faze him, so horse shows will feel like a spa day
- Loads easily on both step‑up and ramp trailers
- Ties quietly, stands politely, and has zero stall vices
- Up-to-date on all vaccines and well cared for
Grey has seen the world, handled pressure, and come out the other side with a calm, willing brain. His age and mileage make him the perfect candidate to transition smoothly into his next career—hunter, dressage, eventing, or your all‑around partner.
Photos and videos don’t come close to capturing how handsome he is in person. He’s the type everyone at the barn stops to admire.
And let’s be honest… Everyone wants a big grey gelding. Here he is.
Move fast—horses like him don’t stay available.
Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Our Thoroughbreds
What is the price of this horse?
Prices are not always published because the price can go up or down depending on how the horse is racing. Most horses average $3,500 but can be as low as $1,000 or more than $5,000 if they are at the farm or have off-the-track training. We will share the prices when you call. If the horse you call about is not in your budget, we may be able to recommend another horse that is.
What is the Jockey Club name of this horse?
Jockey Club name is usually listed on the sale page. Do not call the trainer or seller of the horse directly. The sellers do not want calls from people who have not been screened by us for having the skills to help these horses into new careers. Most horses come with their Jockey Club papers. The links to their race records and pedigrees are listed on their sale page. Horses’ whose names are in quotes are their nickname and not the actual name of the horse.
Where is this horse located?
When we say this is a Prospect Horse, that means the horse is not at our farm in the Atlanta area. Prospect horses are still at the track or owner or trainer’s farm. We can tell you where the horse is when you call. Thoroughbreds move from track to track and to the farm and back. We cannot keep this web site current with so many horses listed and all moving around. That is why we don’t post the location. We are happy to share where the horse is when you call. We may have to make a phone call to find out where the horse is ourselves, but we are happy to share the info with you…if you call. We sometimes do list a horse that is in training at our farm. The price will usually be much higher than a prospect horse as we have already put training on the horse. The longer the horse is in training at our farm, the higher the price. Don’t wait to call about the horses at our farm if you want the best price.

We are not going to talk you into buying a horse! More likely we will ask you to tell us about yourself and your goals. Then, we will help you find the right match or tell you to wait for other horses because none of the current horses are a match.
Prices change based on what price the owner has set. We add a small markup for our services. Prices can go up or down based on how the horse is racing or how quickly the owner wants the horse sold. Most Prospect horses are priced under $5000 with the average being around $3500. Big sound geldings, grey horses and tall horses usually cost more — but not always. Small mares are your best bet if you are price sensitive.
