Princeton Ridge Farms, Ltd.

In 2005, the farm rescued these two lovely chestnut TBs from slaughter.  Sully, now known as "Monsters Inc", was sold in early 2006 and has gone on to have a very successful eventing career, currently competing with his new owner at training level. 

Ms. Money Penny was sold in late 2006 is currently showing in the 3' and 3'6" jumpers at rated hunter/jumper shows, and has also been very successful.

Abner is a 1996, 16.2h TB gelding out of Seattle Slew, and he was adopted from Miracle Farm Horse Rescue in 2007.  He is the hunter extraordinaire, and has been shown by both children and adults in the 2'6"-3' hunter divisions.   Abner finished as Reserve Champion in the Adult Amateur in 2010.  He has since been sold to Becca Laskey, who plans on using him for a low level hunter horse.   

Princeton Ridge Farms rescued "Chopper" in December 2010 from the estate of a local individual.  He is a 22 y/o Wielkopolski (Polish WB) with Hanoverian bloodlines.  He has come very far in his rehabilitation and will not be sold as a riding horse, due to the trauma of his former life. 

**UPDATE** Chopper is now owned by a lovely family in Troy, OH.  He is a pasture mate to a cute little pony named Dakota, and he's enjoying his new spoiled life.

Finnigan is a 2004 TB gelding by Najran.  He was adopted through New Vocations racehorse adoption program, and came to us "track broke."  He has attended many shows since 2011, earning countless ribbons at both rated and schooling level horse shows, and he has even completed a mini trial and several combined tests, always finishing on his dressage score.  Finn has the talent to do just about anything and a great brain and excellent temperament.  He is truly a lovely horse, and we are so glad to have had the opportunity to work with him.  Finnigan was sold in June 2013, to Erica H. to continue his career as a hunter/jumper.

Hilde was purchased in July 2012 from Deep Creek Farm.  She is a 2008, Registered Norwegian Fjord mare with excellent bloodlines.  Hilde came to us green broke, and is was trained for two years as an eventing pony.  Hilde showed us extreme athleticism and a great work ethic, and that she wanted to be someone's full-time show horse.  She was sold to the Ryan family of Olney, MD in July 2014.  We can't wait to see the great things she will accomplish in her career.

Pete was purchased from Mountaineer Racetrack in early spring 2014.  As a warhorse who raced 68 times, he spent several months at PRF getting some valuable R&R before beginning retraining undersaddle.  He was sold in July 2014 to the Szpak family of Hinckley, OH.  We look forward to seeing him on the local and recognized eventing circuits next summer and for years to come.

Frankie is a 2009 grey TB gelding, about 16.1h, who came to us in July 2014 from Thistledown Racetrack. He's a beautiful mover with a lovely floating trot, and balanced canter. Frankie has solid show experience as a dressage horse, scoring in the mid 60s to low 70s in Intro level dressage and mid 60s in Training Level thus far. He racked up quite a pile of blue ribbons and high points at our locally sanctioned dressage shows and combined tests, before being sold in Fall 2015 to the Kaufman family as a rated hunter/jumper mount.  We can't wait to see him out and about at some shows next year!

Everett is a 2009, 15.3h liver chestnut gelding, 3 white socks. He is by Afleet Alex and has a very impressive race record, winning over $100,000 in only about 30 races. Sound, no injuries. He will stand out in the show ring, and has incredible movement. The type of horse people will (and do) gather around to watch. Everett came to us in May 2015, and was easily one of the most talented and agreeable horses we have had. He sold very quickly in June 2015 to Kate M. of Pittsburgh, PA.  We can't wait to see him in the show ring next year!!

Cruel Spirits (Zen) came to us in October 2015 from Mountaineer Racetrack.  He is absolutely stunning, very well bred, nice moving and sweet, 16.1h, 5 yr old gelding. Sold for $75,000 as a 2yr old at the OBS. Breeder's Cup Nominated. Quiet nature, gets along well with other horses. Sound for any discipline, clean legs - would make a lovely event horse.  SOLD - to Jessica from Minnesota.

Odin came to us in January 2016 from Mountaineer Racetrack, where he had spent a few months as a pony horse after retiring from racing.  He is an absolutely stunning mover and a natural born hunter horse.  He was a very easy project to restart with a steady eddy type of temperament.  Odie sold to the Zanotti family in June 2016, and will be showing next season in the hunters with his new rider!

Bugatti Dreamin is a 2010, 16.3h grey gelding with Unbridled bloodlines.  Boogie is a very sweet personable young horse, a phenomenal mover and has a lovely temperament.  We are currently prepping him for his show ring debut later this fall or early 2017.  Keep an eye out for this one.  He will be hard to beat.

**Congratulations to Maddy B. on her purchase of Boogie in June 2017.  They are a phenonmenal pair!**

Our longest permanent resident, "Beer", is a 1997 TB with Alydar lines.  He has been April's personal show horse since 2004, and began semi-retirement in 2012.  Beer has competed successfully in dressage, eventing, and hunter/jumpers, through the 3'3" levels with numerous year end high point awards, championships and other honors.  He is truly a once in a lifetime horse, albeit a rather difficult ride.  He is known as the "barn clown", and has quite a personality.  He will remain at Princeton Ridge indefinitely, and continue being spoiled for the rest of his life.

"Gunner" is a 2010, 17h TB gelding, JC Name: Coolgun Run, who we adopted through New Vocations Racehorse Adoption's program in August 2013.  He's a very well behaved and talented young horse, who is destined to have a great career as a show horse.  Keep an eye out for him on the local show circuits this summer.

Update: In his first season of showing in 2014, Gunner has earned first place ribbons in Intro/Training level dressage at Chagrin Valley Farms, Summit County Fairgrounds, South Farm, and the New Vocations Charity Horse Show in Delaware, OH, where he also earned the Jockey Club Incentive Program's High Point TB award for Training Level.  He also finished the season with numerous year end awards from the Northern Ohio Dressage Association and The Jockey Club's TB Incentive Program.  He was named a 2015 TB Ambassador by New Vocations Racehorse Adoption Program.  We are so proud of this awesome young horse!!

In Summer 2017, April was given the opportunity to buy Moscato (Finny) back from his "new" owners, and she jumped at the chance.  PRF is very proud of have Finn as part of the family again.  He is currently on lease to Amanda W. as a BN/N level event horse, and he is doing better than ever.

Pumpkin is a 2013, 17.1+h OTTB.  Pumpkin's last race was August 2017, and he has been at Princeton Ridge, relaxing and slowly starting his training.  He is an amazing mover, who is smart, sound, brave and has a great temperament.  He has the whole package.  Currently for sale for $7,500, price to increase with more training and show experience.  Will make a very competitive eventer or dressage mount.
