Adopt a Horse

Our horses at Cloud Nine are what make our children smile and we value their health and well-being. The therapeutic riding services at Cloud Nine would not be the same without our happy, healthy horses. Several of the horses that are at Cloud Nine are rescue horses or horses in retirement. It is the philosophy of Cloud Nine that all horses deserve a safe home where they are well cared for. Our staff is committed to providing this environment to every horse there. As a not-for-profit organization we rely on the people of our community to support our program and our horses. You can help by choosing to adopt a horse of your choice for one year. By adopting a horse you can cover the complete care of the horse or a portion of the total cost.

Any donation amount is helpful to our program.  If you are interested in helping a horse, any amount will help us to provide them with the best care possible.  Please contact us today and let us know which horse you would like to help.

Complete Care for One Year (includes feed, vet/health): $1600.00

Feed: $1200
Vet: $400

* Adoption is to help defray the cost of maintenance of the horse only. You will not own or be able to use the horse for your own personal activities. The horse's ownership and use remains with Cloud Nine T.R.C., Inc.

Annie

Annie was born Net Queen in Kentucky in 1998.  Her father's name was Launch a Leader and her mother's name was Lottie Dodd. Neither of her parents ever raced, but her older half-brother, Net King, who was the son of Lottie Dodd and Screen King, raced 56 times and won over $74,000.  An Illinois native, he ran at some major tracks like Arlington Park in Chicago under some of the best jockeys in the country.  Net Queen was born about the time her bother retired.  Her racing career began as a three year old at Tampa Bay Downs (April , 2001)  She was a sprinter like her brother and most of her races were 5 or 6 furlongs.  From Florida, Annie traveled to Canada and raced at a respectable track called Woodbine in Toronto.  Then she moved down a peg to Fort Erie Racetrack in Fort Erie, Ontario, where she hit the board for the first time coming in third (to show) on August 6, 2001.  She won $1,290.  Her trainer (also her owner, Samuel J. Kayrouze) must have thought she was primed to win because he raced her without much rest twelve days later, but she didn't do so well.  Next he took her to Finger Lakes, our own local racetrack, which is how she ended up in this area.  She didn't do well there either.  She came in eighth in her last race on October 22, 2001.  I imagine that poor Annie's arthritis had begun to bother her by then.  How luck y she is to have found the home she now has. (Many thanks to Nancy Henry for telling Annie's story.)
