Horsepower Company started out of a passion for Thoroughbred horses. For me there is no better breed on earth. I have raced them, Jumped them, Evented them, trail ridden them, bred them, taught lessons with them (including with my stallion Ministry) bought and sold them all over the world. I have saved them from ill fate. I have rehabilitated them from devastating  race career injury (but far from life threatening). I have helped them overcome poor treatment, poor management and illness to become someone’s life long dream. 

It’s been through my 21 plus years with Thoroughbreds that I have learned so much about injury management and long term rehabilitation. Proper Nutrition for every stage of a horses life (from birth, to intense training, to rehabilitation, to retiree) These principles hold true regardless of breed. “A horse is a horse is a horse”  as the old saying goes. However, no two horses are the same. Thus special attention should be given to each and every one in order to ensure success.

Injury Management is not a life sentence! Years ago when I started out in the horseracing industry I would see countless animals banished from the tracks and show rings as the result of the simplest of injuries. Mostly because of the owners/trainers lack or time, funding or experience in PROPERLY managing the animals needs. That’s where Horsepower Company shines. With proper management a vast majority of injuries are manageable. The animal might not be a Grade I stakes prospect as a result, but as an owner/trainer the goals set forth for the animals future must be set according to his injury. Not to mention the ability of his connections to manage the animals injuries or their willingness to release the animal to a career field where he can become more productive.

This far I have spoke with a lot of “I’s” The success of any animal in the care of Horsepower Company is in the hands of many! My staff is well educated in proper injury rehab, dealing with behavioral issues and retraining for both on the track and off. (Teaching a horse to better use their bodies and become more secure about themselves many times is key to a successful return to competition) Our results speak for themselves.
