Registered Standardbred Gelding

14.3hh, 6 yrs old

Available through the Standardbred Rehoming Program

Adoption fee: $6,000

"Cease Fire" or Ceasar, is a super loveable Standardbred gelding that came to Lucky 7 Horse Rescue directly off-the-track! He has been well-cared-for his whole life and is now transitioning into a riding career now that he is done racing!

Ceasar retired from harness racing simply because he wasn't fast enough. There are lots of races for 2 and 3 yr olds, but once they are 4 or older, the races are much faster and some horses just aren't fast enough anymore. 

Ceasar took to riding the same as many other Standardbreds... as if he'd been doing it his whole life! He will walk, trot, pace, and canter under saddle! Unlike some Standardbreds that need significant strengthening to hold a canter, Ceasar is a natural! He could do just about anything! He is still young, and he's a healthy boy! 

Ceasar is a very forward horse under saddle, so he could be intimidating to a beginner or an unconfident rider. He absolutely loves to work, and is still coming to terms with the fact that his race career is over. He doesn't do anything dangerous, but he definitely has a motor to him (which also makes him a lot of fun!).

Ceasar is available through Lucky 7 Horse Rescue in Isanti, MN. Lucky 7 offers a Standardbred Rehoming Program for owners to safely rehome their retiring racehorses in a way that acknowledges the value of their horses. Off-the-track Standardbreds come with a lot of excellent handling and care, and are extreme athletes. When they are working, they are all “business mode”. When their harness is off, however, they show their goofy personalities! Every Standardbred has their unique set of goofy quirks - some like to twirl their heads, others like to stick their tongues out, and even more like to wiggle their lips! Like most Standardbreds, Ceasar comes with these wonderful qualities:

✅Stands tied

✅Cross-ties

✅Trailers like a champ

✅Good for farrier

✅Stands for baths

✅UTD on everything

Standardbreds offered through our Standardbred Rehoming Program are NOT rescues. They have been loved and cared for their entire lives, valued as race horses. The Standardbred Rehoming Program exists to give horse owners the option to safely rehome their off-the-track Standardbreds in a way that acknowledges the value of their horses. Many of these horses would be sold for double or triple the price to go work on rural farms, as they are valued by those communities as working animals and transportation.

When adopting a horse in our Standardbred Rehoming Program, half of the fee goes to the previous owner of the horse, and half goes directly into getting two or three Standardbreds away from the hard work of working on rural farms.
