10 days until BREEDERS’ CUP 💜
We are the proud home of Catching Diamonds, dam of the 2023 Classic winner White Abarrio!
We purchased Catching Diamonds as a yearling in 2016. Sired by Into Mischief and out of the Grand Slam mare Cool Breeze making Catching Diamonds a half sister to the multiple stakes winner Cool Cowboy.
She produced her first foal, a grey colt by Race Day in 2019 who went on to become the 4x Grade 1 winner and $8,598,170 earner White Abarrio.
She has since produced a few other winners, and has a yearling colt by Taiba and a weanling colt by National Treasure. She is in foal to Omaha Beach for 2027.
🧡💜

Actually cutest guy ever
😉 A 17 hand sweetheart with no need for speed? What's the catch? Oh, just BULLET CATCH! 😉

"Bullet" is proof that sometimes the best things come in REALLY big packages! Standing at an impressive 17 hands, this handsome youngster has all the size, sweetness, and personality you could ask for, without the need for speed. In fact, he retired sound with perhaps one of our favorite report cards ever: "We have just never seen a horse who wants to be a racehorse less than him." 😂 Bullet is a gentle, easygoing guy who loves attention, snuggles, and spending time with his people. He leads politely, stands quietly for grooming, tacking, and baths, and is just as happy living outside around the clock as he is spending time in his stall. While he hasn't started his under saddle training just yet, his kind nature and uncomplicated manners have already made him a pleasure to have around the barn. Bullet retired with no known injuries or limitations and is expected to have unlimited potential in his next career. If you've been searching for a big, lovable youngster with a great personality and a bright future ahead of him, we'd say BULLET CATCH is one catch you won't want to let get away!

Freestyle, presented by TAA, always brings out the fun and creativity at the Makeover!
Beach Hero, a son of Omaha Beach, took the theme quite literally with a beach-inspired performance! 🌊
And he’s available for sale through the Makeover Marketplace!

Our kind of vacation! 🤩
POV: Your PTO finally got approved… and you made the only logical choice. 🐎😍
No beach. No resort. Just retired racehorses, new careers, and a whole lot of equestrian magic. 🪄
Day 1 at the @RRP_TBMakeover is officially underway—and honestly, we’re exactly where we want to be.
Send this to the horse girl who would 100% choose this over a beach vacation. 👇

Meet FUN TIME, affectionately known around the barn as “Dolly,” a tall, sweet girl who shares a few things with her namesake: she loves being pampered, adores her people, and is perfectly happy working 9 to 5. 💕Dolly is simple to handle, groom, tack, and bathe, and she’s always happy to soak up a little extra attention. She’s barefoot, easy to manage, and enjoys spending her nights outside with her girlfriends. Under saddle, Dolly is just as quiet and uncomplicated. She’s still figuring out where exactly her feet are at the end of those VERY long legs, and we’ll admit that steering is still downloading… But she’s a quiet kick ride who is happy to take her time learning the ropes.

ATTENTION ATTENTION - SIR XANDER has entered the room. Xander the first one to greet us in the morning and loves to stand in his stall and watch the activity. Curious and kind hearted he loves all his friends and his people. Xander is quiet on the ground both to lead and to stand, groom, tack and bath. Xander is taking to his new job of being a quiet riding buddy quickly. Green but willing, he has been easy to work with. Xander retired with some wear and tear and is best suited for a low-mid impact career. As always, vet records are available to approved adopters.

What a cutie! Doesn't she have an endearing expression?
The mare everyone seems to be TERRIFED of...😨
So she still hasn't found a home...going on 361 days...😟
What else can we do to convince you she is an AMAZING horse who deserves a great home?
Let's get to the reason people are afraid:
"Is she dangerous?" NOT AT ALL!
"Is she unsound?" NEVER HAS BEEN SINCE WE'VE HAD HER!
"Does she have bad habits?" THE MARE COULDN'T DO A THING WRONG!
"Can she be ridden?" YES! SHE EVEN GOES OVER JUMPS!
"Well then what is the problem??"
Looking for Ginny has some osselets in her ankles that look a bit knarly on radiographs - her ankles are bigger than most (cankles some would say...) but outside of their look both in person and on xray - THEY AREN'T AFFECTING HER! She is sound, happy, and ready to work. She has carried junior riders, gone over jumps, looks FLASHY on the flat and could SHINE in a dressage ring or be perfect in a lesson program. Don't let her 'cankles' deter you from getting the best partner...it would just be rude don't you think? Could you be the warm hug for Looking for Ginny? OR do you know someone she'd be perfect for??

For anyone reading this! My stable pony has bigger osselets than this and has outridden, barrel raced, and ponies miles upon miles in the morning with no problems and zero maintenance 😊 Ginny just looks like she has some jewelry and she looks absolutely lovely
