Racehorses and Ex-Racehorses Available
LOPE partners with the Texas racing industry to help find racehorses new homes in two ways: 1) listing trainer horses available at the major Texas racetracks and 2) adopting out ex-racehorses donated to the LOPE Ranch.
We really appreciate your interest in Texas racehorses. Before proceeding to the horse listings, we ask that you please read, understand and agree to the following terms.
- Please Keep Appointments With Trainers and Owners Your continued courtesy is part of what allows LOPE to operate at the private barn areas of the Texas tracks. When visiting, please keep in mind that you are visiting a workplace, and trainers are taking time out of their day to show you horses. Honesty is the best policy, so please just be up front with trainers and owners about your interest or non-interest in their horse. To ensure a successful visit, please make sure to call the trainers in advance to make sure the horse is still available.
- Purchase Disclaimer and Recommendation LOPE DOES NOT guarantee the soundness, temperament, age, suitability or condition of any horse at any time. We recommend that you have a pre-purchase exam done and use caution when considering any horse listed for sale. Neither LOPE nor its representatives have vetted these horses prior to listing!
- Horse Descriptions Details posted in the trainer-horse listings are provided by the trainers and owners. LOPE has not verified all claims therein.
- Horse Suitability Most of these are green horses and many are still actively racing. They are not for beginner riders without a professional retraining program; they may take a significant amount of retraining to become pleasure horses.
- Free Service The service is FREE to both those listing and buying. LOPE does not set the prices of any trainer-listed horses nor do we negotiate the price and terms of horse sales. That is solely between buyer and seller, LOPE is not a broker. We do not receive commissions on horses bought through the site, nor do we have financial ties to the sellers.
