Sorry for the delay in answering. I’m on my computer all day for work (and play) so I don’t log on after five usually…
Wing is one of my all-time favorites this year. His trainer has him at a farm now. Someone was interested in this nice horse earlier but the trainer stated that the person called, but didn’t show. Word is that if Wing doesn’t sell that he’ll be a pony horse candidate for this trainer.
He’s a friendly, bright-eyed horse. Gives good kisses! :yes:[/QUOTE]
Any more info? Pedigree, etc? Is that his full name?
NICKI BLUE - 16.2+ Mare - FREE TO GREAT HOME
This filly is very, very nice. I saw her when I picked up another one from this trainer…
She is on the FLakes site under Trainer Listings.
The mare is NOT in danger, the trainer will board her if neccessary till she is placed.
Racing ends at Finger Lakes today and there are many in need…

I discovered this board as I was researching FLTAP horses and likely will not be an active poster, but so you know, Take Me Flying will be home in FL come next Fri/Sat. He was my first choice along with Jo Cosmo; the price, and the fact that TMF’s owner/trainer was trucking horses to Ocala made him the meant-to-be choice. I also considered Sir Knight Shot and General Justice.
His new career will be eventing (for fun, not to bolster my ego), hunter paces, trail riding, being my personal psychotherapist and snatching snacks at tailgate parties. He’ll share his pasture with my charity case TB rescue and live outside like horses ought to except when weather dictates that being in a stall is the wiser course, such as when lightning or when cold rain pours.
He’ll event because, in that sport, handsome is as handsome does: the question is can you do the jobs? vs. are you decked out in the en vogue tack or are you the breed du jour? As for his 15.1h stature? I am happy not to have to pay for giant blankets, giant trailers, wide tree saddles and larger feed bills! It is the size of his heart and not his height at his withers that matters. He is a thoroughbred: his heart is not in question. Stroller won the Hickstead Derby @14.2hh and if that is too old of a reference, consider Teddy O’Connor (14.1-3/4hh) and watch him at Rolex '07 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1eiBcINTF4
Big is overrated

OTTBs ROCK![/QUOTE]
Congratulations on your new horse. I totally share all your philosophy on eventing and little horses. Don’t forget the Connemara stallion, Erin Go Bragh either. He was only ~15.2 and did Rolex although he was retired before it became a 4-star.

I’ll definitely pay a visit to Old Friends when the boys get settled and will post pics when I do. i’ll be sure to take a pocket full of carrots.
msj - if you make it here to Old Friends do let me know and we’ll meet up. If you need a place to stay, I have plenty of room. In fact, for anyone planning to make a trip here to Saratoga to Old Friends (or the track for that matter), I’d love to meet up with you. We have plenty of room if anyone needs a place to stay.[/QUOTE]
I will surely look forward to pictures of the boys as well as any of the other lucky horses at Old Friends.
It would be great to meet up with you. I’m just wondering if it would be possible to consider a NY COTHer’s meeting at Saratoga next year. Maybe during the time of the racing season there. Of course anyone that wanted to join and wasn’t a NYer could certainly come as well. 
I believe I remember Danceronice had a brother in NY and she was thinking about visiting and coming up to Old Friends as well. It’s something to consider next summer.
Ernie Applesauce ??
I had dinner last evening with several friends and one of the women had tried Ernie and was planning on heading back today to see if he’s be suitable for her husband. Also, someone else at the table had told a local theraputic riding facility about him. She said they had called about him but were told he was placed. 
So there appears to be conflicting reports on him. I asked the one gal that was going back today and taking hubby to let me know. If I don’t hear anything by evening, I’ll email her and see what I can find out. It does sound as though Ernie is either getting a good home or may already have gotten one. I do hope to soon be able to post good news on him.
I must say that this looks like this is a bumper year for finding homes for Finger Lakes Finest! I congratulate everyone that has their new horses already and those that will soon get their new projects!
I must say COTHer’s really are awesome! And that goes especially for the gals that are down every weekend and through the week listing the horses on the trainer’s listing.
Hooray for everyone and their new Finests!! After all the threads about crazies in the horse world, it is encouraging to know that there are still good, sane people and this thread seems to have found them :D. I am so excited that Ernie seems to have/will have a new home soon. I was just thinking the other night that I wish I had a child or a husband to buy him for (you know you’re a horse person when…haha). Now, somebody go get March West so I can live vicariously through you :yes:
Who’s Left ? Neighbor’s are now addicted !
My neighbors want to help save a gelding. They want Call to Duty, but he’s firm on the $1,000 price and not in any danger. He can share a trailer ride to Virginia with Spirit, so let me know who’s available. Needing R&R is OK, but must be sound for some jumping by summer. Their teenager foxhunts. They will NOT take a filly or mare.
ERNIE APPLESAUCE
Still available as of 1:30 eastern time, trainer asked to call back around 3pm, was saddling a horse to race.
I can’t get it worked out with Jo Cosmo so I hope somebody on this board gets him so I can hear how he is doing… I am so bummed I think I would be a really special horse:)
I check this thread daily but am a bit behind on who is going where… all I know is it seems like LOTS of horses are finding homes with COTHers which is GREAT NEWS!!!
Of course everyone needs to update when their FL beasties arrive and get settled in. I will be expecting pics too…

I’m sorry I have no other information on Wing. Wing is not his registered name as his trainer couldn’t remember it. I have not seen this horse out of his stall other than on his information-gathering day earlier this year.
Try giving the trainer a call. He is pretty busy and not the best at getting back to folks but keep trying… :yes:
For others interested in this mare…Lottsalassa’s owner was showing her to someone today so she may not make our listings…
I’ve fallen for Dan And John. Little 15h (would have to be on a good day, I think) bay g. with an eventing pedigree to die for. He’s a solid little fellow.

We saw Ernie’s trainer today and he did say that the horse was going to be seen by someone. Some possibilities for the confusion in his status may be his trainer choosing just the right person for Ernie… he’s being very careful as he seems to really like this horse. Perhaps Ernie’s not a candidate for a therapeutic program… Working pony horses can sometimes be quite the sparks themselves! ;):yes:

maunder, that is so good to know that he is being careful to place him.
I don’t know the capabilities of my friends hubby. Wife - yes but hubby???

Would they like to try a new fellow just listed today? Three year old Cowboy Jr. His photos may not be up just yet… He’s about 15 hands, pretty, bay and free. He seemed quite sweet and willing to please…just a bit shy. Trainer said sound with no vices.
Also a cute grey gelding just listed today. He’s an in your pocket horse coincidentally called Two Full Pockets. This guy has been shown a LOT of love and affection by his people and loves to be loved. He’s about 15.3 hands and six years old. $600 negotiable to a great home.
Our friend Napoleon Dynamite probably wouldn’t fit the jumping requirement but he needs a new home soon. He’ll be listed today too. He’s a bay gelding with an old knee injury from when he was a youngster (pasture accident). His trainer feels that the horse would be OK for pleasure riding but not jumping or he would make a great pasture pet as he’s a nice, kind horse. Info. and pics forthcoming…
Viney-
Dan and John is awesome. He is more like 14.2 or 14.3, and built like a tank! The day I saw him it was windy and cold and he was sparky for sure! Awesome little horse, really great intelligent eye, I wanted to put my arms around him and hug him. Someone would have a really good time with him- and he is more than athletic enough to event, even with his short stature (I event a pony anyway… so I think they are the best!). Someone here must need him!
I think it is so awesome how many of these deserving beasties have found homes!
The new listings are up. Cowboy Jr. is so cute and sweet. Plus, he has some really AWESOME names in his pedigree.

Nicki Blue also needs a home quickly, and has been reduced to free. She is a very beautiful young lady.

Oh my goodness these newly listed guys are GORGEOUS!
I’m waiting to hear from foundationmare on how Rock and Roll Roan’s race went today!
