It doesn’t take much hard thinking to realize that “Analyze” is a standup gentleman with a heart of gold! If you want a horse who loves to cuddle and has a mellow, loving temperament all the time, this is your guy. If you want a young prospect with lots of talent but need a quieter mount, Analyze is that rare specimen.

In turnout, Analyze loves to play and will engage with a playful buddy, whether it be playing halter tag or running around a bit. His default is to just “hang out” though, so he tends to have a pacifying effect on his buddies in turnout.

Under saddle Analyze has put in some hard work to build up his strength and fitness level after his surgery last year, in which a wood chip (!) was removed from his leg. Fortunately, he has recovered very well and is now comfortable and moving well. Analyze has become a favorite to ride because he is comfy, with three easy, fluid gaits, and he is just overall a pleasure to ride. Since he had damage to his suspensory ligament from the wood chip, he won’t be technically limitless, but we think he’ll still be able to achieve a good level of performance with time and proper conditioning in the right home!

ADOPTION FEE POLICY

New Vocations’ adoption fees are intentionally set lower than the cost of buying most Thoroughbreds or Standardbreds through a private seller. In today’s market, it’s not unusual for horses coming right off the track to be listed for sale at a price between $2,000 and $5,000. At New Vocations, we set a fee that will ultimately help each horse find a home quickly. The program’s facilities are always at full capacity, which means we cannot take in an additional horse until one is adopted. Adopters should be encouraged to know that by adopting a horse through New Vocations, they are actually helping two horses transition to careers outside of racing.

In general, our fees are set at $2,500, $1,000, $500 or waived:

• $2,500: This range is for horses that we consider to be the cream of the crop or “unicorn” horses. They are horses that have few or no limitations and great conformation, movement and size.
• $1,000: This range is for horses that are suitable for a competitive career up to a certain level (for example, cleared for 2’6” but not necessarily 3’). They may have been fully rehabbed from an injury but have been cleared by our veterinarians for most disciplines.
• $500: This range is for horses that are limited to a flat, trail or companion-type home. These horses are healthy and have been fully rehabbed and evaluated by a vet.
• Waived: This is for horses that have significant limitations for a riding career or are otherwise difficult to place. These horses are otherwise healthy and have been evaluated by a veterinarian.

Additionally, adopters get great value for their money: The majority of the horses have been in the program for a minimum of 60 days. During that time, horses are rehabilitated (if needed), socialized with other horses, fully evaluated, and in work with a professional trainer. New Vocations fully discloses each horse’s history and provides all available medical records, many of which include X-ray and ultrasounds.

While adoption fees are low, it should be noted that costs associated with ongoing care and additional training for each horse after adoption can be high. New Vocations hopes that by helping an adopter save money upfront, he or she will have more funds available to cover the continuing costs of properly caring for a horse.
