Adoptable Horse: Silver Kitty, a 12-year-old, 15.0hh Thoroughbred mare Organization: Second Stride, Prospect, Ky.
A 12-year-old Thoroughbred mare, Silver Kitty last raced in 2017. Second Stride was not told of any injury history and she moves soundly under saddle. “Kitty” has had four foals, the last being in 2025. She is eligible for the Retired Racehorse Project Thoroughbred Makeover Broodmare Division.
Kitty is a very kind and easy going mare. She seems to be intelligent and not concerned about much at all. She doesn’t mind being in a stall, as she stays quiet and munches on her hay. She is also fine being in a field 24/7. She gets along well with her friends and settles down quickly to graze. She walks nicely on a lead rope and is well behaved for grooming, bathing and tacking up. She stands quietly on crossties and enjoys being back under saddle.
She has a cute little trot, but her canter needs some refining. She would make a great lesson or beginner horse. Good for kids and grandkids, Kitty would make a perfect family horse and will be suitable for any age appropriate discipline.
