CANTER BASEBALL CAPS



CANTER baseball caps are an easy way to support CANTER. They are cute, classic, and don't cost anything to feed. They’ll show your support for our cause outside of the barn. A CANTER cap is a good gift for anyone who loves horses, horse racing, or keeping the sun out of their eyes. They are one size, and come in three colors. Order online here at our CANTER California home page!

MEET OUR ARRIVALS! - YOUR NEW HORSE COULD BE ONE OF THESE!
(click on photos to view larger / click on horse's name to view listing)

Carson is our newest horse and full of great potential. He is a sound 3-year-old chestnut gelding. He is still growing and has just begun training with us. He will become a fine sport horse.
Beauty is a quiet and gentle sweetheart. She is a big bodied, 6-year-old bay mare, 15.2 h, and very EASY to handle. She would make anyone a trustworthy partner for any discipline. She's our pet!
Missy has classy good looks. She is sweet and she will also turn heads. Missy is 6 years old and just shy of 16 hands. When her bowed tendon heals, she'll make a very pretty riding horse.
Ace is a horse-lover's horse. He is a handsome gentleman who he deserves the right person to take him home. He is currently sound, but has a navicular cyst, so he needs a light work setting. He would be the perfect companion for someone with the experience to care for him and his special needs. He is a 7-year-old, 16 h, bay gelding.

CONGRATULATIONS TO:

Cindy on her adoption of Bransfield. We expect we’ll hear about his successes in the showring.

Angela on her adoption of Eisenheim. This is what we love about CANTER: seeing a favorite horse go to a fabulous home.

Athena on her adoption of Cee Mister B. He is a true CANTER success story who is learning to relax and enjoy his new life.

DON'T FORGET - THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO SUPPORT CANTER

We are still in need of your valuable donations to help support our horses awaiting adoption. We are an all-volunteer organization so your donations go straight to our ex-racehorses for feed, medical care and shoeing. It costs $450 a month to support each horse in our program. Add that up:) Here are a few ways you can support CANTER:

Help us raise funds for our horses by donating $6 and we will send you one of our Off Track ThoroughBred Stickers. Donate here.
