Smarty's Gift Stable
Since his retirement from racing, we have been dedicated to making sure that Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Smarty Jones is not forgotten. While his career was short ,it was a truly amazing ride. We were fortunate to have been a part of Smarty's world. This project started as a labor of love and tribute to our friend, Smarty. Since then, it has become much more.
We now have our own racehorses and operate under the name Smarty's Gift Stable. This site now features information and updates on our horses. Please stop by our Stable and get to know them.
The Photo Album features candid photos, taken by me, of Smarty at play and some at his new home, Three Chimneys. There are also photos of our horses: Mr. Boxcar, Ironclad Alibi, I'ma Wild One, My Jester Girl and, our newest addition, Bright Nickel.

Because of the trememdous interest in horses like SMARTY JONES and BARBARO, we are now able to raise public awareness to the plight of many of our forgotten friends.
Unfortunatately, the sad truth is that the general public is unaware of the horrible fate that awaits thousands of these wonderful thoroughbreds each year.
There is currently one foreign owned slaughter house left in this country. They brutally kill our horses and send the meat overseas where it is sold as a delicacy. While we in America do not eat horse meat, this practice has been allowed to continue. Your help is urgently needed to end horse slaughter and the transport of American horses to slaughter in Canada and Mexico.
Legislation has been introduced in Congress that can end this horror. Read about the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act and how you can help. The links below will tell you how you can make a difference.

HORSES HELPING HORSES
Smarty's Gift Stable has started a program called Horses Helping Horses. The object of this program is to donate a percentage of any win purse to rescue a horse from slaughter. So Far, Smarty's Gift has rescued five horses by contributing one percent of winnings earned by Mr. Boxcar.
We would encourage other racehorse owners to join us in this endeavor. It's easy to do....just take one percent (or any percent you are comfortable with) and donate it to the rescue of your choice. If you do not have a specific rescue, please check our Equine Rescue page for some suggestions.
If you notify us, we will be happy to list your name and your horses's name in the Horses Helping Horsessection on this site.
Our horses CAN make a difference for those less fortunate.
