Get to Know Adoptable Horse A Lot of Heat



Introducing A Lot of Heat, a striking dark bay Thoroughbred gelding with a heart of gold and a promising future ahead. Having been responsibly retired and deemed sound, Heat is now embarking on a new chapter of his life filled with love, care, and endless possibilities.

With a handsome, athletic exterior matched only by his good brain, Heat is a horse who possesses both beauty and intelligence in equal measure. As he enjoys some well-deserved downtime at the rescue, he’s been soaking up the attention and affection from the volunteers, showing a fondness for grooming sessions and human interaction.

A Lot of Heat had a successful racing career, earning over $20,000 in winnings. Heat is ready to leave his racing days behind and embrace the opportunities that await him in his second career. With his athletic build, he’s poised to excel in a variety of disciplines, whether it’s exploring the trails, honing his skills in the arena, or simply enjoying the companionship of his new family.

If you’re drawn to Heat’s captivating presence and are interested in making him a part of your life, the first step is to fill out an application and begin the journey toward adoption. With your love and support, Heat is sure to thrive in his new forever home, bringing joy and companionship to all who have the privilege of knowing him.
