This is a well-established, high end breeding, training, and sales operation based in the heart of the Thoroughbred racing industry. Founded over 50 years ago, this is a family owned and operated program comprised of a robust breeding program, active racing string, and a successful pinhooking and appraisal business as well! This program currently has over 40 horses in active race training, and several of the most sought-after breeding stallion contracts in the country. With an exceptional employee retention rate and an owner who believes in giving his team a proper work/life balance, this is an opportunity one can expect to hold for many years to come.
