Spirit to Dream
Warmblood Type, Sweetest Personality, Unlimited Potential
“Spirit” – 2023, 16.1½h Filly – Warmblood Type, Sweetest Personality, Unlimited Potential
If you’re searching for your next best friend and a future show-ring standout, Spirit is the filly you’ve been waiting for.
At just three years old and already standing 16.1½ hands, Spirit has tons of growing and filling out left to do. She is built much more like a warmblood than a typical Thoroughbred—big-bodied, elegant, and naturally balanced. This girl floats across the ground and is incredibly smooth to ride.
🌱 Correct Start & Thoughtful Training Spirit has been brought along the right way from day one.
- Broke to ride in March 2025
- Ridden 60 days at the farm
- Taken to the track for light riding
- Knees X‑rayed early—still open—so she was turned out for the rest of the year to grow safely
- Re‑X‑rayed February 2026—all clear
- Sent back for another 60 days of professional riding in March 2026
- Returned to the track and trained lightly
She never forgot a thing and handled every step with a willing, level-headed attitude.
💛 Personality That Melts You Spirit is simply too laid-back to be a racehorse—and that’s a good thing for her next person. She is the definition of a sweetheart.
- Loves to rest her head on your shoulder
- Snuggly, affectionate, and people-oriented
- Will stand all day to be brushed
- In videos, we literally had to chase her with a lunge whip to get her to jog—she’s that chill
🧠 A True Blank Slate Spirit has:
- No buck
- No rear
- No bad habits
- Only worn shoes once
- Started learning lead changes and picked them up easily
- A naturally soft, floaty way of going
She is ready to go in any direction—hunters, dressage, eventing, pleasure, trail, or a beautiful all-around show partner. With her movement and brain, she will shine once she finishes growing.
🩺 Up-to-Date & Well Maintained
- Teeth done in June
- UTD on all shots
- Turned out with front shoes
- X-rays clean
- Currently located in Hodgenville, Kentucky
- Shipping available from that location
If you want a kind, uncomplicated young horse with the temperament of a golden retriever and the movement of a warmblood, Spirit is your girl. She’s ready to bond with her person and start her new career.
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.

If you see a horse you like:

Don’t wonder how much he is – CALL!
Don’t wait to see what your friends say – CALL!
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.
