Despite being a half brother to millionaire Snapper Sinclair, #TAAgrad True Simon prefers to win his race in a different setting: the jumper ring. Read more on this @SecretariatCen1 grad and his adopter Alicia Burberry > > bit.ly/2RfgZ2x

Nan's Plan over a 2'9" jump in her free-jumping lesson yesterday 😍 #noscopenohope #allthebestonesarered @LindaRiceRacing Video available at secretariatcenter.org/horses/nans-pl… #OTTB #RideARacehorse #AdoptDontShop #TBMakeoverEligible #RRPEligible

Pretty great for a 3rd ride off the track don't you think? Noonsight loves learning new skill sets, & even on a cold morning with distractions in the neighboring fields, he was all business in the arena! FMI: secretariatcenter.org/horses/noonsig…. #OTTB #AdoptDontShop #TBMakeoverEligible

Secretariat Center Graduate Photo Shoot has found his forever home and his passion! He & his 14-year-old rider/owner Tate Northrop most recently finished in 6th place in the Open Beginner Novice at Flying Cross Horse Trials 👏👏🎉🐎😍 #OTTB #RideARacehorse #TeamSecretariatCenter

It's safe to say Zelda's first jumping lesson was a success! By the end of the lesson, she was going around with barely any encouragement from us, and in fact she was having so much fun, we had to make her stop and take a break! FMI: secretariatcenter.org/horses/strong-…. #OTTB #RRPEligible

Nan's Plan is blowing us away with her brave attitude in hacking out alone, her willingness to walk and then jump a few small logs, and her happiness that was plain to see! FMI: secretariatcenter.org/horses/nans-pl… #OTTB #AdoptDontShop #RRPEligible #TBMakeoverEligible @LindaRiceRacing

Strong Work continues to impress with her level-headed approach to new questions and her willing demeanor. She’s steady for w/t/c work in the arena, she’s learning about poles and baby cross rails, and she hacks out on a loose rein. FMI: secretariatcenter.org/horses/strong-… #OTTB #AdoptMe

@sportsnag Yes most of them are!

@SecretariatCen1 They are, however, natural jumpers?

WOW 😍 Tohubohu blew us away in his first-ever jumping lesson! Few horses of his size (17h) are as balanced & as willing in their first attempt over fences. He LOVED it! The jump featured here is 2'9" & he was clearing it with ease 👏 FMI: secretariatcenter.org/horses/tohubohu #OTTB #AdoptMe

@sportsnag Sometimes they don’t understand the question or they might spook at the inflatable fillers. We start with poles and work up to this size jump, always trying to build their confidence.

@SecretariatCen1 Q. Is balking an instinctive thing for the horse and thus something you have to train out of them? Do they refuse often when first starting?
