Matching Thoroughbreds With Horsemen

Many thanks to the following folks for your contributions:

The New England Thoroughbred Retirement Center

Hail To The Thief is one of our finest sport-horse prospects. The Thief is a son of the multiple stakes winner Cat Thief whose earnings totaled nearly $4 million.

In his racing career, The Thief was trained by Gary Contessa, one of the top trainers in the country and named New York Breeders Trainer of the year for the past three years.

The Thief arrived at Watchtower Farm in beautiful condition. He’s a powerful, young four-year-old and stands 16.1 hands. He’s been enjoying training under saddle and shows amazing, athletic potential.

We’re very happy about new homes for two of our Thoroughbreds!

Young Border Disorder, a recent arrival from Pennsylvania, is moving up to Hebron, New Hampshire. Border was at Watchtower Farm for only four weeks before his new owner spotted him on our website. Border’s security is ensured with the NETRC’s Lifetime Conditional Bill Of Sale and with lifetime retirement available at Watchtower Farm under the NETRC’s Watchtower Plan.

We’ve been saving I Got A Halo for almost two years. Halo came to us in 2007, barred from racing in two states. She had figured-out that when she didn’t cooperate in the starting gate, she didn’t have to run! Halo is an incredibly intelligent mare and doesn’t stand for anything less than her handler’s complete attention. At last, Halo has selected a person to whom she is now devoted.

Halo’s trainer at the Retirement Center, Corissa Leonard, is now her new owner and Halo’s new home isn’t a new home at all; she’s staying right here at Watchtower Farm. Like Border Disorder, Halo is also assured the security of lifetime security under our Watchtower Plan.
