If you are one of those "gray dapple" people and you love thoroughbreds then you've come to the right place! At the Gray Dapple Thoroughbred Assistance Program spectacular silver horse stars whose racing careers have come to a halt leave the racetrack behind forever and join our exclusive kid engineered riding and training program.

Our President and founding member is Amanda Sorvino, an ex-hunter/jumper equestrian and student of the acclaimed Gary Zook and the #1 fan of gray dapple thoroughbreds. "I just love gray dapples," explains Amanda. "They are magical, beautiful, and impressionistic. They resemble fairy tale horses and unicorns."

When you adopt a horse from Gray Dapple, you will also be saving the next one from slaughter. The horse racing industry is bright and dark, and the tragic end for slow runners on the track could mean the fate of slaughter. But slow runners make excellent riding horses, so when one of our ex-racehorses becomes adopted, we have the stall space to rescue another slaughter-bound thoroughbred.

Gray Dapple also assists in the placement of thoroughbreds spanning the entire color spectrum, always including horses who have any relationship to the thoroughbred world, such as nurse mare foals and off-track "pony horses." But our specialty is gray dapple thoroughbreds, and to get started in adopting one, you need to follow 3 simple steps: See a horse you like, Give us a call, and Schedule a visit.

 As you stroll down Dapple Dreams Drive, you will sail your eyes over endless fields of dazzling gray dapple horses. Whether you're a child, teenager, or even an adult who wants your own horse more than anything in the world, we can help your dream come true! So call today ... all you need is a dapple and a dream!
