Kutia was adopted August 2024 and is now living in Connecticut with Sue. Sue is very excited to have a new horse to bring along. She plans to give Kutia the winter off to grow and just be a horse, and then in the spring bring him back to work and do some jumping with him eventually.

Original Post:
Kutia is a gorgeous, sweet, big, athletic looking 3 year old gelding that came to us in partnership with track partner New Start for Horses based out of Penn National. Kutia came from great connections who let him retire after just one race. He had plenty of timed workouts as well and just wasn't competitive enough to go on with. This is likely in part because he is already so big so young. He just hasn't matured enough to hit his stride at the track, but he'll do great in another career!

Kutia is by Warrior's Reward and out of a Bernstein mare. This means he sports some greats in his pedigree: Medaglia d'Oro, Storm Cat, Thunder Gulch, El Prado (IRE). His sire is known for throwing kind horses who are nice to work with and Kutia definitely fits that bill.

Kutia is incredibly sweet, inquisitive, and it was clear from day one that he is kind. Our volunteers are already falling in love with him!

Kutia had a great evaluation with our vet. He was only off slightly on one hind but it also looked like he'd had stitches there recently from a small flesh wound, so the vet was not at all concerned about it long term. He is not expected to have any limitations!

Kutia will be getting downtime to be a horse as we got him only 5 days after his last race but he is available to someone experienced who enjoys restarting an OTTB themselves. With his size and age, we'd personally recommend someone let him continue growing up a bit before putting him into hard work.
