Organization: Second Stride, Prospect, Ky.

Get to Know Adoptable Horse Danger Ranger



Danger Ranger is a 5-year-old Thoroughbred gelding by Animal Kingdom and out of Jelly Cable (by Sky Mesa). He is eligible for the Retired Racehorse Project’s Thoroughbred Makeover Competition.

Ranger last raced on July 3, 2023, and was retired due to arthritis in the left knee. He is currently sound for pleasure riding.

Ranger is a playful gelding who would be a wonderful trail or pleasure riding partner. He enjoys hacks around the farm and rides well alone or with friends. He is brave and does not spook easily. He would be suitable for a solidly intermediate level rider.

This gelding has a big personality and a huge heart. He is generally well-behaved; he walks nicely on a lead rope and is happy stalled next to mares or geldings in the barn. Ranger loves attention and needs reminders to respect boundaries. His adopter will need to be comfortable setting limits in a kind, firm manner.

Ranger gets along well with the geldings in his field and stood well for the vet. He does best with ample free-choice hay. Second Stride has not seen any vices from him.
