Meet Our Residents
Many horses have come to Equestrian Inc. over the years and we have had an abundance of successful adoptions to new forever homes where our horses can thrive as riding partners in various disciplines, or as pasture companions.
Some of our long term residents have been with Equestrian Inc. since their retirement and we will continue to provide them with exceptional care for the rest of their days.
We'd like you to meet our current herd!
Available for Adoption
These OTTBs have been successfully rehabilitated from racing and are in

Sanctuary Residents
This special group of horses are our retired permanent residents.
They enjoy spending their time getting spoiled by our volunteers!
BH Southern Knight
Barn Name: Knight
Age: 5/2/2014
Breed: Arabian
Lineage: --
Residence Status: Sanctuary
History: Knight was brought to EI in 2014 when he was 8 months old. Originally bred to become a halter horse, he did not meet the conformational requirements for that discipline. His breeders responsibly offered him to us to have an alternative career. Glenda’s first Arabian stallion was Hawk Hill Knight, a spitting image of our 2014 Knight. Knight is known for being the vocal one in barn, always ready for his meals.
Faction Cat (FL)
Barn Name: Cat
Age: 2/23/2013
Breed: Thoroughbred
Lineage: Wild Cat Heir - Zooming By by Cimarron Secret
Residence Status: Sanctuary
History: Faction Cat joined EI in November 2024 without any current injuries. Known at our barn as the "Modern Day Secretariat" because of his impressive racing career, he is going to enjoy his retirement with us getting spoiled by all of our volunteers.
Lucky
Barn Name: Lucky
Age: 1/1/1995
Breed: Appaloosa
Lineage: --
Residence Status: Sanctuary
History: Lucky originally came to EI in a boarding capacity until his owner passed away and wished for Lucky to live out his remaining days with us. Lucky has been part of EI since 2004. He is our first go to when teaching new volunteers the way around a horse. He has a very inquisitive personality and keeps us on our toes. We have to make sure each gate is double latched as he tends to have other plans to let all of his friends out and get into mischief.
Tally Man (KY)
Barn Name: Tally
Age: 3/11/2008
Breed: Thoroughbred
Lineage: Tiznow - Edict by Swain (IRE)
Residence Status: Sanctuary
History: Tally has been part of Equestrian Inc since 2010 after coming from another organization, TROT. Tally sustained a bowed tendon during his two year old year of training. After a year of rehabilitation, Tally began retraining and became the “spokeshorse” for EI at horse shows. His very sweet personality has made him a barn favorite.
Archibald
Barn Name: Archie
Age: 1/1/2011
Breed: Miniature Donkey
Lineage: --
Residence Status: Sanctuary
History: Archie came to EI on Christmas Day in 2018. Archie was pulled from an auction in Northern Florida where he was basically feral. After settling in at EI, he was gelded and paired with one of our senior horses at the time. Within a couple of weeks, Archie quickly grew to become comfortable with the herd and now resides with Victoria every night. He has definitely earned the title of “Mayor of the Barn.”
Victoria
Barn Name: Victoria
Age: 5/1/2000
Breed: Arabian
Lineage: --
Residence Status: Sanctuary
History: Victoria has been part of Equestrian Inc since 2002. It took Victoria a very long time to eventually become comfortable with those who worked with her. In her older years we refer to her as the “Queen” as all of the other horses developed an unwritten respect for her in the pasture. Her closest buddy is Tally; she cannot be out of his sight.
Boundfor
trouble (KY)
Barn Name: Rebel
Age: 4/24/2022
Breed: Thoroughbred
Lineage: World of Trouble - The Niagara Queen by Langfuhr
Residence Status: Sanctuary
History: Rebel retired from racing at only 3 years old and without injury! He is going to become the next spokes-horse for Equestrian Inc. to showcase the versatility and great demeanors of off-track thoroughbreds as exceptional equine partners for any discipline.
Fort Astoria
Barn Name: Astoria
Age: 2/19/1998
Breed: Thoroughbred
Lineage: Dehere - Astoria (ARG) by Logical
Residence Status: Sanctuary
History: Astoria was our first Thoroughbred rescue that sparked the transition to help more Thoroughbreds. Glenda, our late founder, rescued Astoria in 2004 where he was found in a 10x10 dirt pit and extremely underweight. After a lot of rehabilitation, we learned he is a great-great-grandson to the legendary Secretariat. Astoria spent his prime giving lessons to many children along side his buddy, Lucky. In his older years, he now spends his days eating soaked alfalfa cubes and enjoys being groomed daily.
Christopher's
image (FL)
Barn Name: Image
Age: 4/13/2007
Breed: Thoroughbred
Lineage: Halo's Image - Glass Slipper by Katowice
Residence Status: Sanctuary
History: Image originally came to EI in 2013 after retiring off the track due to osselets in both front ankles. Image was adopted out and began a career in basic dressage. While at one of the private stables in the area, he had the opportunity to be used in a lesson with the infamous John Cena! Image’s quiet, forgiving demeanor under saddle gave Cena the confidence to learn the basics as he was gearing up for a movie involving riding a horse. Image was ultimately returned to EI due to no fault of his own. Image’s favorite snack is soaked alfalfa cubes!
Jule's Jewel (FL)
Barn Name: JJ
Age: 2/23/1999
Breed: Thoroughbred
Lineage: Jules - Helen's Fury by Barachois
Residence Status: Sanctuary
History: JJ came to EI in 2010 from another organization, TROT. JJ is considered a warhorse given his racing career of 101 starts. After his long racing career, he was briefly used as a pony horse. After settling in at EI, he gave many young children their first ride on a horse. As he aged, we phased him out of being a lesson horse and he became quite fond of his grooming sessions and daily photo shoots with our volunteers. We call him the babysitter as he tends to buddy up with one horse in the herd and take care of them.
Sponsor a Horse
All of our residents are very special. If you would like to help with a specific horse's individual needs, we invite you to sponsor a member of our herd.
We can let you know the needs of each horse and if you would like to donate to help see to those needs, that would make you a very important member of our organization and would greatly benefit your horse of choice.
