Get to Know Adoptable Horse Tairaterces
Once upon a time, there was a horse named Tairaterces (Secretariat backwards) affectionately called Tai, who had a tough start in life. When Tai arrived at Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare, he was barely approachable and seemed to be carrying a heavy weight on his shoulders. Tai was a local Puerto Rico-bred racehorse with only four starts to his name and earnings of $2,180. To make matters worse, he had Piroplasmosis, which meant he couldn’t travel outside of Puerto Rico.
Despite his struggles, Tai was retired sound, but not without some behavioral issues and trouble working from the starting gate. He had a long way to go, but with time and patience, he started back under saddle in July 2024. As he began to trust those around him, his playful and loving nature shone through. Tai had no vices other than being overly playful and loved spending time with other horses in the field.
It’s amazing to see how far Tai has come from the day he arrived. He has transformed into a stunning horse, both inside and out. Tai still faces challenges with Piroplasmosis and the inability to travel outside of Puerto Rico, but that doesn’t stop him from living his best life. He enjoys spending his days exploring the beautiful island and galloping around with his friends.
Tai has so much love and potential to offer, and he deserves a chance to find his forever home. He’s goofy and willing to please. He does anything you ask if you take it slow and be kind. Caribbean Thoroughbred Aftercare would love to find that special person that wants an athletic beauty to add to their family. They are searching for a special person who can give Tai the love, care, and attention he needs.
Are you that special someone? Adopting Tai isn’t just a decision to add a new member to your family, but also an opportunity to make a positive difference in a horse’s life.
Please help us spread the word and find Tai his forever home!
