Nimitz was adopted in July of 2024 by repeat adopter Rachael in Maryland. Rachael is an eventer as well as an instructor with a large and reputable program. She hopes Nimitz will be able to be brought along and grow into the role of lesson horse or event horse. Either way she'll be happy!

Nimitz is a 6 year old, 16.2+ hand gelding that came to us directly from his wonderful racing connections when he was ready to retire. He had a total of 9 races and was in work at the track as recently as June.

Nimitz is by Jump Start and out of a Stormy Atlantic mare. This means he's a grandson of AP Indy, as well as a descendant of Seattle Slew, Storm Cat, and several other quality names. He was also fortunate to be bred and owned by one owner his entire career so we know he came from excellent care. It shows as well in person as he's been very kind and easy to handle since arrival.

Nimitz had a great evaluation with our vet, has no known limitations, and is available to someone who enjoys restarting horses off the track for now as we're going to give him some down time to be a horse before we put him back to work.

He has no vices and is turned out with a group of geldings and one miniature horse mare without any issue. He's pretty independent in turnout so far, and definitely not going to start any drama.
