- Beautiful Star has been off the track since she was two, being hacked and allowed to grow by a loving owner. Now at four years old she comes to me ready to begin serious work. I've had her here at Leighton Farm for two months and have found her to be a consummate lady. She has been building strength and stamina hacking around the farm up and down the hills.
I've begun ring work and she is quite a fancy girl. As she builds up, we see her true potential. Star works well with other horses or alone. She is turned out with three other fillies and they are gal pals.
Star is 16 hands and has no vices.
Star is now trotting and cantering jumps and has even done my white barrels. she shows great potential with this. I am currently jumping her twice per week over low obstacles. She likes it. She has jumped up to 3' at this point but is still green and learning.
In addition, she is excelling at the ring work and shows talent for dressage as well as jumping.
Star is offered for a $3,500 tax deductible donation to Thoroughbred Placement and Rescue, Inc. She is stabled at Leighton Farm in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
UPDATE: Star attended her first jumper show yesterday, December 3. She competed in the 2' division and was wonderful. We plan to compete her again in another jumper show in December and a dressage show in early January.
