Not the crazy bouncing off the wall maniac that people think of OTTBs. I wonder if more people knew the truth about them more would be saved from kill pens.TBRaceLovernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-85340415474967349682010-05-01T22:33:53.240-04:002010-05-01T22:33:53.240-04:00There's hope for my OTTB yet!

He raced until he was 6 years old and is now 16. He is a truly amazing horse with a heart of gold! He may not be the fanciest horse in the show ring, but he makes up for it with his athleticism, lightness, and work ethic....he beats those big warmbloods on a regular basis!Sierrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17629508898138858413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6317822193674196694.post-82704244349518196382010-04-29T18:38:37.483-04:002010-04-29T18:38:37.483-04:00This is awesome!
