Let’s Get Thor and Buddy Love Home! ❤️
Donation protected
There isn’t a single rider or trainer at Woodbine Racetrack that doesn’t know former outriding pony extraordinaire “Thor”. He’s caught your loose ones, helped your horses back up, given some company when needed, got you home safely, your horses to the winners circle, greeted your children on the rail… Thor was one of Woodbines main men and we all knew it.
After ten years of an outriding career (not to mention 37 racing starts- 2 wins, 11 seconds, 6 thirds) when Thor started to show signs of discomfort, the Love family decided outriding was no longer in his best interest. He went to their home farm for over a year of rest and recovery. This year Michelle tried to find him a low stress home where he could enjoy some more attention.
Unfortunately, what presented as a PERFECT home for Thor, turned out to be lies. He was to be a kids low camp horse to dote on in his forever retirement home. Thor showed up at the track in tack… His new owner decided to take things another direction and sold Thor to a trainer at Woodbine saying he was a green pony horse with no other history.
Thors family and track connections are devastated.
Trust was thrown out the window.
This is NOT said trainers fault. So we are hoping everybody can band together to raise the funds to offer to purchase Thor back for his purchase price so said trainer is not out a chunk of money after being lied to, and so Thor can go home to his family farm for the retirement he so greatly deserves.
Come on everybody, we owe Thor a solid. Let’s get him home ❤️
