Horses off the track are usually not for someone who just wants to amble down a trail. They are also young have NO experience other then track work. Throughbreds are also very flighty, they are very tall which can be intimidating. Yeah a few will be good but the chances are slim. It usually takes experience and a lot of time to train them to be anything other then a "race" horse. Barrell racers sometime buys horses off the track because they have learned to run. JMO, but I don't think this is what Cindy is looking for.

I was being slightly facetious. Thoroughbreds are crazy, like the royal family or any other inbreds. Plus you never know how much attention is needed to keep their legs in action.

On the other hand, she could let the grandkids ride him during the week, and make some money off him on the weekend. LOL

Oh, OK, sorry.

Alot of people though get suckered into buying race horses, because sometimes just to get rid of one that doesn't work on the track they sell them pretty cheap.
