HORSES LOOKING FOR SPECIAL HOMES


Johnny Ritt

Jockey Club Name: Johnny Ritt
16.1 H 2017 Bay Gelding
Adoption Fee:
Negotiable to the perfect situation

Every so often, a truly remarkable rehabilitation case comes our way. Meet Johnny Ritt, a talented racehorse who earned nearly half a million dollars in his impressive five-year career. Unfortunately, Johnny's final race ended in a horrible accident, where he fell over another horse, resulting in a severely wrenched back. But don't worry, this incredible gelding received top-notch care at The Mid-Atlantic Equine Medical Center, and then spent six months at New Beginnings Thoroughbreds for further rehabilitation. Despite the setbacks, Johnny's spirit remains strong, and he continues to inspire everyone around him with his resilience and intelligence, relying on stalls walls for support and not laying down for months in the beginning. We're confident that with time, patience, and the right care, Johnny will make a full recovery and find a new purpose in life, perhaps even bringing joy to those in need through equine-assisted therapy programs. If you're interested in being a part of Johnny's journey and helping him reach his full potential, please reach out.  Together, we can make a difference in this special horse's life!
