About Boots
Boots is an 8yo bay Standardbred gelding with an easy-going nature and a wealth of experience behind him.
He retired from racing in March 2025 after a remarkable career – 59 starts and over $240,000 in earnings for his connections. In 2022, Boots spent 18 months side-lined due to a suspensory issue. He made a successful return to racing, but after another 23 starts, signs of unsoundness began to reappear. While no specific injury was detected by his vet, it is suspected that Boots may have a high suspensory strain. With a few months of rest, he is expected to make a full recovery.
Boots is a pleasure to work with and is well behaved in all his handling. He’s great for the farrier, easy to catch, float, worm and tie up, and is experienced around vehicles, children and other animals.
While he hasn’t been started under saddle yet, his owner believes that Boots’ willing attitude will make him a great candidate for a future ridden career in the right hands.
Boots is now seeking a kind, patient home where he can enjoy some well deserved downtime, followed by a second career or a peaceful life as a companion.
