Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Success Story: Noni’s Journey to Love and Safety

When Leslie and Anthony Arcuri lost their beloved horse Ghazi in October, the grief was intense. Ghazi had been part of their family for 30 years and had been through life’s highest highs and lowest lows with the couple.

Gucci, a 30-year-old Thoroughbred that the Arcuris adopted in 2004 from the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation (TRF) in Montpelier, Va., was grieving, too. Ghazi had been Gucci’s best friend for two decades. It quickly became clear that Gucci needed a new friend. Gucci was TRF’s first successful adoption from their Montpelier location.

Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: Finding the Best Path Forward

Wow, where has this month gone?! With spring shows in full swing and our eyes on summer schedules, the calendar has been jam-packed as of late, and you know what they say, “time flies when you’re having fun!”

For Teddy Spaghetti, it’s been a month of new experiences, well-deserved rest, and getting back to the basics. For Natty Bumppo, it’s been another month of getting to know each other and weighing our future options.

Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance Success Story: Home at Last for Galerio

“Galerio is a very special horse to me,” Ashley Nelson said. “I galloped and groomed him as a coming 2-year-old.” Nelson groomed and rode him until he was claimed during a race in November of 2019. She had had a special bond with the horse and one day hoped to retire him.

Thoroughbred Makeover Diary: Back to the Basics and Building Confidence

In my experience with young horses it seems like when they have a first show experience as good as the one Maverick and I had, it really helps some light bulbs go on for them. Maverick has definitely followed suit in the weeks since my last update here.
