Sneaky Pete
Registered Name:  Tumbleweed Fever

Sneaky Pete
Registered Name: Tumbleweed Fever

Look up "handsome" in the dictionary and you will see a pic of Pete. This 7-year-old OTTB gelding stands 15.3 and is gorgeous. Pete is an owner surrender who arrived at VEWS Feb 28 and is settling in nicely. He was a total gentleman for the farrier and for the vet at the beginning of March. He is sweet and seems to enjoy the company of humans. We will continue to let him settle before assessing him under saddle. Stay tuned!

Firefly

Feb 26 Update: Firefly will be available for adoption April 1. Our friends at Equine Welfare Society tell us that Firefly's training is going great! She has been in training since December with EWS. This OTTB mare has a head full of sense and is not bothered by the many challenges presented to her. As a young OTTB mare, Firefly will be looking for a forever home with someone experienced in OTTBs and working with young horses. Watch our FB page for riding videos coming mid March. Reminder that Firefly is located in Keswick with EWS and adoption meetings will take place there.

Firefly, like her buddy Helena, is an OTTB who arrived at VEWS July 2 through our partnership with ACT.

Registered as Zupita, this OTTB is 5 years old and stands 16H. She last raced in April 2024 and retired off the track sound. Please stay tuned as she continues her journey toward a forever home.
