Tap Zappa, ch. g., 16.0h, 2001. Adoption fee $2400-

Saved thanks to a kind donation by Evelyn of Washington, DC!

This flashy boy won about $50K on the track but it wasn't enough to keep him from being dumped at the sale. He is a real eye catcher, good mover, clean and sound, no vices.

Adoption fee $2400-

Update:

Tap Zappa found a home with Adrienne of MD. She and her trainer came up to look for a jumper prospect. The trainer rode him and had him doing flying changes and 15 meter circles at the canter- whew! Adrienne decided to adopt him and took him home a week later!

Update January 2008:

Hi Bev, Sorry I've been slow at comunicating, I sent an email a while ago but  I think that was before I realized my email was not working. Anyhow Tap is  doing good, he is the love of my life. Whenever I ride him I really feel like  he cares about his rider and would do anything I ask of him. He gets his leads  everytime and we were jumping very well, up to 3-1/2 feet. Unfortunately in  late August he somehow ripped of a large peice of his front left hoof. The vet  and I are not exactly sure how this happened but his hoof got soft just below  the coronet band and 3 days later the hoof came off. He has had lots of  veterinary and farrier care and special shoes since then. But after his last  farrier check his heel has grown back and I'm able to ride him again. No  jumping yet though. The farrier is coming by just to check on him today. I got  wonderful service from my vet and my farrier through this whole ordeal, I am  very thankful to them. Tap really is such a pleasure, I love riding him at  other barns because he is so good and calm and so beautiful people ask about  him and they are shocked to hear that he is a retired racehorse. Lots of  people seem to think that these wonderful racehorses are explosive lunatics  and I'm happy to show them that that is just not true. Hopefully I'll be able  to get someone to get some pictures of me riding him and I can send you some. 
Thanks for saving this great horse and the many more you have and will save.
