Cat Singer is a 10 year old gelding that knows he’s very special having won nearly $420,000 in just 28 starts/ 7 were stakes wins. His donor retired him immediately upon realizing he was no longer a Stakes horse and he spent 12 months turned out on his owner’s farm prior to arriving at the program. He retired sound and is now ready for a new career – his donor thought he was bored with the pasture life. He has been turned out with both mares and geldings and gets along great with both.  He was previously adopted but due to pressing personal issues, his adopter was no longer in a position to keep him and sadly had to return him.

Cat Singer has no vices and is good to shoe, clip etc. He is a kind, honest horse and treated with respect, he will do his best for his rider. Not spooky, he has been ridden in the arena and goes very nice and easy. He will stand untied while groomed and saddled and has always had the most impeccable manners. He does not need daily riding, you can just hop on whenever and he’s content to go for a ride. He would enjoy a quiet home with trail riding and the occasional log to jump.

Cat Singer has shown us that his heart lies in trail riding. Solid and sensible, he has been trail ridden alone and in company all over the farm and even with horses running in the pasture next to him, he remains unfazed. Nothing flusters him and he loves to go on leisurely strolls with the dog and take in the sights. He is particularly fond of stopping on the top of the hill and surveying the farm before returning home. This is a trait he had at the track, he liked to stop and watch the other horses work. Cat is very smart with bags of character and impossible not to love. He is on daily turnout on a 23 acre field and always comes when called.

As a precautionary note, any rustling of mint wrappers will result in the nearest person being mauled for treats – he knows all about mints and will accept no substitute!
