Read this book before buying your next horse!

Before spending a large sum for your new horse, check into the bargains available at your nearest racetrack.  Each year, thousands of young Thoroughbreds retire from racing.  They are retired not because they are injured or unsound, but because they are just too slow to make a living at the track.  The owners of these well-bred Thoroughbreds are eager to find new homes for these young athletes.  The too-slow racehorse can be acquired at a bargain price at any racetrack in the world.  Many ex-racehorses are perfect for jumping, dressage, three-day eventing, or just plain pleasure riding.

In Reschooling the Thoroughbred, Peggy Pittenger tells you how to find and buy the ex-racehorse, how to check the horse for any racing injuries, how to negotiate your purchase, and, step-by-step, how to retrain him for his new career.  She takes you through the training process from the first day you bring your new horse home and the first time you ride him to getting him ready for his first show.

The book shows you how it's done and tells you the success stories of famous world-class riders and their Thoroughbreds and of riders just like you who have reschooled ex-racehorses.
