My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Thunder came into our Rescue through the Standardbred Retirement Foundation together with Cheryl's Dream, Big Boy Toz and Bobby, who passed in summer 2022 of old age.

Thunder is a Standardbred and former trotter racehorse. Thunder has bad feet and is no longer rideable because of it. However, in every day life his feet don't bother him at all.

Like the other Standardbreds Thunder has incredibly good ground manners and is very sweet and friendly. When he first came here in fall 2021 he was a bit mean with the horses further down in rank but he has integrated very nicely into the herd and is now lower in rank himself. Thunder (like all our horses) gets along with every horse, donkey or goat, as well as cats and dogs, even chickens.

He was born 04/17/2005 in Ballston Spa, NY out of SIR TAURUS - ALPINE TREASURE - A GO GO LAUXMONT.

His adoption is through the Standardbred Retirement Foundation.

Additional adoption info

we want to make sure that the pet and new family are the right fit to avoid the animal being surrendered again or getting passed on. To ensure this we ask questions on lifestyle (if adopter is very active or not), how much they are home, what other animals are in the home/on the property etc. We want to both the animal as well as the adopter be set up for success which is that both sides are happy and their needs are met.

Go meet their pets

Check out our animals on Social Media or meet them at the Rescue Ranch (by appointment only)
