What’s in it for me, a gray gelding from 2017, had nine starts and earned $ 11.007 before he withdrew from racing in 2021. He arrived at Therapeutic horses of Saratoga In September of that year, but something was not quite good. After he had sustained a sesamey fracture on the circuit, he had spent almost a year on maternity support at the organization.
“In Sisk, co-founder of therapeutic horses of Saratoga, asked me to come and see Gray [Whats in It for Me] Because he did not fit into their program. He didn’t seem happy, “said Anna Hollander.
When Hollander first met him, she clearly saw his loneliness: “Gray seemed depressed and sad.”
Despite everything he had physically conquered, he still struggled emotionally.
“I felt pulled to help him in a happier life,” Hollander recalled.
Over time, Gray, now called William Gray, began to bloom.
“William Gray has been transformed into a beautiful horse, [he has been] Regularly driven on paths and training. “
He became a healthy and sweet horse that flourished from everyone.
“He is happy, healthy and super affectionate. A soft giant,” said Hollander. With consistent training and time on the paths, Will had become another horse. Looking ahead, Hollander shared that she is planning to “drive and train him more, to send him a few beautiful trail and hunter paces this fall.”
“The transformation lasted about a year, he now nickers. My other horses also helped, they started playing with Will and showed him what fun life can be,” Hollander recalled.
“It makes my day every day to turn these beautiful horses into happy champions and to see how they enjoy life,” Hollander added.
