Extreme Veteran Posts: 456 Location: SW MO	Hey guys! I've been MIA lately, but now I have an off topic question because I have zero knowledge of this. OTTBs- where do you find them? What are the biggest things to look for? When I started riding I learned to ride english first- dressage and HUS. I want to get back into it but I don't have many contacts in OK, AR, and MO. Any help?

I have been looking and trying to get in contact with a couple trainers but haven't had a ton of lucky just yet. I will keep looking!

Elite Veteran Posts: 705 Location: Weatherford, TX	I think there is a site by state (quite a few in the mid-section of the country) called 'CANTER'. I haven't looked in years, but they had all ages and various stages of training. Some did have injuries or long term issues, but a lot were nice and just green or race broke. You can probably Google the organization....or even Google retired TB race horses to find other organizations. Edited by Gator Bug 2017-01-17 3:36 PM

Extreme Veteran Posts: 456 Location: SW MO	I have checked the website but didn't see any in OK. They have a heartland chapter that does a few states together. OK is one. So far I have talked to two places around OKC

Elite Veteran Posts: 984 Location: Southwest Minnesota	This is a facebook group that finds new owners for OTTB. We got one from here and he will never be a barrel racer....just has no desire to run. But, the lady was great to deal with and honest. The horse we got from her is the sweetest TB ever. Here's the link to her page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/racehorse2sporthorse/

Extreme Veteran Posts: 447 Location: New York	Our local track has an organization that lists horses for sale for trainers. http://fingerlakesfinesttbs.com/category/available/ maybe check and see if the tracks around you have something similar?

Not Afraid to Work Posts: 4717	Racehorse2Sporthorse on fb has a lot of OTTB. They seem to be very honest and many have found success. I also use http://www.equibase.com/ to learn more about them.
