Get to Know Adoptable Horse Barn Shark
Barn Shark has a name you won’t forget and a face that’s just as memorable! This sweet and sturdy boy was responsibly retired from racing and came to Horse and Hound sound and ready to start his second career.
After some time in training and an adoption, Barney (barn name) was returned through no fault of his own—he was just a bit more forward than his (wonderful!) adopter was looking for. He was well-loved and beautifully cared for, and Horse and Hound is so grateful for the time and training she gave him.
Now, Barney is back with Horse and Hound and looking for his perfect match. He’s continued to show us he’s smart, sweet, and willing. He has a good brain, handles windy days like a champ, and is settling back into Horse and Hound’s program with ease. While he has some energy under saddle, he’s not naughty—just a young guy who enjoys having a job.
Barney is suitable for an intermediate or confident rider looking to bring along a young, athletic partner. He has no limitations and could go in a variety of directions with the right person.
