Bythegraceofgod, dk. b. g., 16.0+, 1994.

Saved thanks to a donation by Elizabeth in honor of her birthday!

Grace was owned and trained throughout his racing career and for the years that followed by the same person. She really loved him but because of personal situations beyond her control could no longer keep him and was forced to sell him. He is all class- a nice big boned steady guy who has had good basics and wonderful care. Has been to a show or two, and has started over little fences. Knows his flat work too! This great guy has so much to offer- when we got on him the first day at MAHR, when he hadn't been ridden for over a year, he went around like a total professional.

Adoption fee $2400-

Elizabeth and Grace

Thanks to Elizabeth, Grace is now safe and ready for adoption.......thank you!

Update December 2007:

Bythegraceofgod found a home! Debbie of VA was looking for a horse to do dressage and trails. She had her first horse for over 20 years- that mare died about 7 years ago, and Debbie was finally ready for a new friend. She fell in love with Grace from his picture, and when she and her trainer Cara came to visit, they knew he was the one! He was vetted and left for his new home in Gainesville. We already have pics of him sharing hay with a new pasture buddy. Congratulations!

Update January 2008:

PM Update:  I just got back from riding him - just walked and trotted in the arena - he was awesome!!!  He was very relaxed and looked very  handsome in his new tack.  I forgot my camera but will send an update soon.

Update February 2008:

Hi Bev,

Grace has adjusted very well to his new home. He is still attached to a Shetland pony named Niles but he is not obsessive. They are just best friends. We have started taking lessons and have been doing a lot of ground work. We are both out of shape which works out well - neither of us is overly demanding :-)

He is the sweetest horse I have ever been around. He doesn't seem to have a mean bone in his body. He goes along willingly with whatever is asked of him and he tries very hard to please. He loves to be brushed - to the point where I almost have to wake him up when I am done! I couldn't be any happier with him - he is exactly what I was looking for.

I'll keep you updated on his progress.

Thanks for everything,
Debbie
