Adoptable Horse: Star Juancho, a 9-year-old, 16.0hh Thoroughbred gelding Organization: Second Stride, Prospect, Ky.
Star Juancho is a 9year-old Thoroughbred gelding by Kantharos and out of Silver Agave (by Silver Deputy). He earned an impressive $338,690 in 53 starts on the track, which included two stakes placings. Hhe is eligible for the Retired Racehorse Project’s Thoroughbred Makeover Competition.
“Juancho” last raced on October 30, 2022 and retired with a right front sesamoid medial basilar fracture and arthritis. Juancho is waived for approved and responsible adopters. A donation would be appreciated.
A freckled-faced redhead, Juancho is an unusually marked chestnut with a sweet disposition and kind eye. He loves attention and treats. He is very good for grooming and bathing, and stands quietly in crossties. He is very respectful of his handlers, and is very loving. He is currently on Equioxx to help with soundness.
Juancho is currently going out with other quiet geldings and gets along well with everyone. He is quiet while out. Second Stride has not seen any vices in or out of the stall.
Juancho will only be suitable for companionship, non-riding therapy, or in-hand agility. He is brave and doesn’t shy away from new obstacles. He is a joy to be around, and Second Stride has fallen in love with this boy while he has been with them. He will make a great addition to your herd.
