The only place I found to get off the track thoroughbreds in tx is a rescue and the horses cant really be used for much work after you rescue them. I am looking to buy an OTTB that can be retrained and used for show (jumping). I've got tons of experience with horses I just cant seem to find anywhere to purchase OTTB's. Can someone give me info for either a racehorse trainer selling his hasbeens or some place to get OTTB's that isnt a rescue. Thanks soooo much

Canter is a web site that lists horses for sale most by trainers that are on the track right now. You can contact the trainer directly and get one right off the track. I have picked them up at the track.
If you know someone on the back side you can ask them to ask around about trainers selling horses. Most will take you on the backside to see the horses they are trying to sell.
You will need to make an appointment with the trainer but most are really looking to put the horse into a home where he will be re trained and have a second career.
