Description:
Hello,
My business is full of history/heritage but unique in that it provides a "win, win, win" goal for all involved! U.S. Sporthorses evolved from a life long dream of buying and retraining thoroughbred racehorses to prepare them for a second career as sporthorses; and further donating the profits to therapeutic riding schools! Thus the "Triple Win" advantage of all involved. The young thoroughbreds are often saved from the downward spiral of a slaughterhouse, retrained for hunter/jumpers, eventing, polo, or some can continue to race if indeed prove to be "late bloomers" Seattle Slew comes to mind! I have contacts at Pimlico in Maryland, Kentucky, Illinois, Florida for buying promising prospects. Once resold a portion of the profits go directly to various equine charities and riding schools where children with both mental or physical challenges benefit from the "therapy of riding". We have been fortunate enough to have grandsons of the best bloodlines; Slew, Northern Dancer, Secretariat,and Storm Cat going on to fantastic careers, some under ex-olympic trainers and riders! I am in need of an investor/partner asap as divorce threatens that I lose our farm and training facility. It is less than 2 years old, beautiful, full of promise and potential. If you love the Sport of Kings and can envision helping those that cannot help themselves through your passion of the sport, please contact me, I would love the privilege to speak with you.
