Temperament:
Star is very easy going
and much calmer than
most thoroughbreds. He
has none of the common
thoroughbred vices.
Physical problems / health issues:
Star has a bone chip on
his front right knee but
it has not seemed to
cause him any problems
recently. He runs,
jumps and plays just
fine.
Interaction with horses:Starr
gets along with everyone
and is rather low in the
herd order. He is
currently with geldings;
don’t know about
interaction with mares
but is probably just
fine since he’s so easy
going.
Interaction with people:
History:
Seized by law
enforcement and awarded
to the organization. He
was previously raced.
Training / abilities:
Starr was a racehorse
through 2005 so he’s
traveled quite a bit and
been ridden everywhere.
He will be tested under
saddle very soon. Starr
would make a fantastic
dressage and hunter
horse. His jumping
abilities would be very
limited since he has the
bone chip in his front
knee.

Advanced beginner on the
ground. His riding
abilities are unknown
right now.

Special needs:
Since Starr is a large
thoroughbred; he needs a
little more feed than
some other horses.
However, it is not
believed that he will be
an extremely difficult
keeper. Right now he
gets 12 lbs of feed
daily with beet pulp and
has been putting on
weight nicely.
Other comments:
Starr is one of the
easiest going
thoroughbreds to come
through the rescue. He
does not crib, weave, or
have any of the other
thoroughbred vices. His
feet are not bad for a
thoroughbred but they
are a little thin. He
has had some abscesses
in the past but those
seem to have cleared up
nicely. All-in-all,
Starr is quite the
“catch” for a prime-aged
thoroughbred!
