Thoroughbreds that have moved on from their racing careers can be found in the show ring, on the trail, gaming and even on the silver screen. A new segment in the upcoming season of Unbridled on HRTV, titled THORO’TALENT will highlight some of the remarkable horses who have gone on to great things after life on the track ended.
Plans are underway for THORO’TALENT features on other ex-racers who have had great success in the grand prix show jumping arena.
Unbridled is seeking submissions of stories about retired racehorses who have achieved success and changed lives in second careers, whether they are show-ring champions or special backyard companions. Submissions will be accepted from Jan. 10-31 for the 2012 season at ThoroTalent@UnbridledTV.com

A Second Chance for Thoroughbreds
Can’t wait to see the new show. I enjoyed the Americas Favorite Trail Horse competition on HRTV.
Makes me reconsider getting a thoroughbred. I was thinking of a warmblood for sport but now im thinkin of a thoroughbred
I had a OTTB and she was the best horse ever! I used her for endurance, sheep herding, and fox hunting. I don’t think one can go wrong with the versatile TB.
Long-time adopter of OTTBs and I love them. Though I don’t show, I enjoy trail riding and jumping at home. OTTBs have always proven to be athletic and talented. Nothing was more exciting than watching one of my boys thundering through the fields or re-watching homemade videos of them learning how to jump. But above all else, a TB will bond with you and love you with the whole heart. When you have earned their love, they will willingly die trying to do anything you ask of them because it will make you happy.
