Leighton Farm "Making the most of each thoroughbred." |
|
We have three categories of horses for sale. "On Track", horses stabled at the track or training center. "Off Track", horses located on a farm. "Looking For A Home", horses offered at no charge to the right home. One of our Graduates, sold to Mary Grantham Cook in November 2007.
"Just thought I would give you an update on Revy. He was 3rd at the American Eventing Championships in Chicago this past weekend out of 38 horses! He was with the best in the country and was outstanding. He also won the Heritage Park horse trials 3 weeks ago. Here is a picture that was on the Chronicle of the Horse that was taken on Cross Country in the pouring rain! He was unphased as usual! "
At Leighton Farm, we are involved in many areas of the thoroughbred industry. We provide a peaceful environment to rest or let down racehorses. Many of these horses are getting a much deserved rest from their racing careers. We also specialize in letting down horses who are retiring from racing. Re-schooling for new disciplines is a major part of the work we do here.
Leighton Farm participates in the sale of thoroughbreds retiring from racing, commonly known as ottb's. We are helping reputable trainers sell horses who are more suited to other equestrian disciplines. Many of our horses go on to be eventers, hunters, dressage and dependable riding horses. Most, but not all of the horses for sale are thoroughbred prospects and a few are other breeds. With over twenty years in Maryland racing, we have a unique understanding of the thoroughbred racing industry. We've cultivated many relationships with trainers who care about the future of their horses.
We are actively involved in the rescue of thoroughbreds who are in need. Both through funding and direct involvement. We now have a non-profit organization called Thoroughbred Placement and Rescue, Inc., that is greatly expanding this work. As can be seen by the before and after photos of Grandy Bear. Our efforts are paying off!
Thoroughbred Placement and Rescue, Inc. has 501(c)(3)non profit status. This organization has been formed to take over and expand the work Leighton Farm has been doing. I've selected each board member because of their contributions to the cause of these horses. Together we will be a greater force then we have been individually. Check out the new website at www.HelpForTbs.org
We also help horsemen place horses who are not saleable. Sometimes due to young age or imperfection. You can check out our Graduates page to see some of our success stories.
