“These assessments are based on how these horses respond in their current environment and any change in their current environment, riders, diet, etc could have an effect on the horses' immediate performance. Horses need time to adjust when moved to new surroundings. We highly recommend you visit, spend time with the equines and evaluate the equine before making a decision"

Explain overall training:  Loki is OTTB, he is race trained and due to the cold weather his current foster home has not been able to access his riding skills. As soon as it warms we will have more information on him. He has huge movement and will make an excellent dressage or jumping prospect.

 

Explain history if known:  Explain history, if known: Liar’s Poker was a racehorse out of Sire, Acceptable and Dam, Exciter. He is the great grandson of Seattle Slew and the grandson of Tom Rolfe. He was originally bought for about 127K and then sold again for about 87K. At this time the owner decided he just wasn’t worth it and ordered him to the dog food factory. Luckily for Loki his trainer just couldn’t bare to take him and his racing friends to the dog food factory and contacted his current foster home. She then contacted HfH and we are now looking to find Loki his new forever home!
