Welcome to the Euphorian Retired Racehorse Project
Euphorian Thoroughbreds are a rare string of the Thoroughbred breed. They come from a single farm simply called “Euphoria” that has horses with mutated genes. These allow them to be able to possess any realistic coat or markings. Everything else about the sub-type is the same. Long, strong legs, a powerful hind, and great speed. Their eyes are soft and the breed is incredibly smart, if not a bit goofy. They love kids and have the rare ability to excel in any discipline. They can grow from 15hh-18hh, though usually somewhere in the middle.
The horses readopted through the Euphorian Retired Racehorse Project are looking for a new loving home and a new job. They’ve tried racing and have either retired or decided the sport wasn’t for them. Either way, they are ready for the next chapter in their life. Some of these horses will come with a little training already, and will have their new discipline already determined. Although others you’ll get to pick how they move forwards!

Competition: my old dog, apache, really hit me hard in life. he was originally a present from my dad when he was still breeding dogs and he was originally my grandmas dog, but i fell in love with his goofy personality! he had a little kinked tail that i absolutely adored too!
unfortunately he got parvo when he was almost a year old and compared to his brother, bracket, he was sitting at deaths doorstep. i remember that he hadnt been well the entire week and one time i came home from school and everyone was on the porch and they all stared at me when i walked up- it was my uncle who took me to his little kennel inside and told me what was up. i remember it breaking my entire soul to see him so weak and sad in his kennel.
this was a really bad time, since i was still at school and had that stress, and i couldnt stay home with him really. but as time went on that week, he only got worse and worse.
i actually remember one night, waking up in the middle of the night, and finding him on my bed and me thinking that everything had just been some horrible dream until the smell of sickness hit me and i realized that he just put himself through a lot of pain just to climb up there to lay with me.
regardless, bracket got better while apache got worse and it took us about two days to realize that apache wouldnt move an inch until he heard me walk through the door for when i got home from school. so then my family literally told me to stay at home with him, because it was the only time he acted like he was alive, and yknow, i rolled with it because i really just wanted my dog to get better.
fast forward through the nights where i fell asleep on the floor next to him after we gave him his iv's and whatnot and hes running around and playing in the front yard! hes was a little skinny, but he was still my loving goofball.

it really, really hit me hard to think about how he chose staying alive with me over death, even though it put him through a lot of pain. he was truly an amazing dog and kept my head above water just as much as i seemed to keep his above.
unfortunately there were some family issues and he was rehomed to a rescue facility, where he gets all the love and has been retrained to walk around hospitals!

sorry about writing so much! i really do get emotional when i talk about apache and even if this is a bit lenghty, i hope you still got something out of it somewhere.

Competition: when i was seven i got a one year old cat. i named him prince, and he was mine, as opposed to our other cat rascal, who roamed the neighborhood. prince slept on me and let me do really anything to him, from putting him in cat shirts and walking him around on a leash to letting me stack stuffed animals on him while he was asleep. he'd never stop purring- when i was 10 he started sleeping on me instead of by my feet, and gosh i need silence to sleep so i'd wait for him to actually fall asleep and stop purring for me to do the same, but i never kicked him off of the bed because... really who could? he was my best friend. about two months ago he started not eating right, and we thought he had an abscess in his mouth, so we took him to the vet. turns out it was aggressive cancer, and despite steroids to make the swelling go down, on sept 3, he passed away in my arms. i really, really hope i gave him the life he needed, as he changed mine so drastically, i don't think i'd be here without him.

okay im crying now but thank u for this comp so i could write about my best friend

There have been many animals that have stolen my heart over the years, but Mozart is truly special. August 6th, my aunt had decided to walk to our corner store to pick up some food she had ordered for dinner. When she had got there, this little guy was trying to get inside the building. Normally we wouldn't try rescuing cats we thought were feral, but this guy was so friendly and sweet that she just had to take him home. I had put up a post on social media hoping to find him a home before I got too attached, but he glued himself to my hip and I have had him ever since. He's now my emotional support animal and I just moved him into my dorm today. It's been so very long since an animal as amazing and as in tune with my emotions as he is to come into my life. He truly arrived when I needed him most, and I am so grateful he chose me <3

Competition: almost five years ago i went through two very tough surgeries in the span of one year that made my life take a total 180 turn. by the end of it, i needed was to do something for myself for once, something to look forward to after the storm had passed over, and someone that would love me no matter what. and most of all, to lead me out of the darkness. that something/someone ended up a little furry ball of chaos, mocha.

i have owned her for almost four years now, but it was tough in the beginning since i basically jumped into the deep before learning to swim. i had this puppy that i did not know how to deal with and i almost wanted to give her away a few times, thinking that i wasn't taking care of her well enough and that she deserved a better home than me. however, two years down the road and nothing changed, until i had law officials knocking down my door. they said that my dog was reported biting a cyclist that was on my property. she needed an alibi to be cleared of the charges, and i couldn't remember where my dog was that day.

i cried so much that night, believing that my dog was going to put down when there was no way she could have bit someone. my heart left like it was wrenched from my body and i couldn't breath. i couldn't stop shaking and boy oh boy was i terrified. it was if someone was to come up to you and say that they were going to harm your parents/siblings, and all you could was watch. you are completely and utterly helpless, and that is my worst fear. to have someone you love get harmed while you just stand there, unable to stop it. mocha simply stared at me with her big innocent brown eyes and i remember just repeating the words 'i love you'. it only served to make me ball my eyes out more.

the pound tried to take her several times, but i couldn't. without her, i felt that there was no point for me to exist anymore. it was a pretty dark week, but i also realized this is what mothers must feel like with their children. there was no way i'd ever give up my girl until she had to due to old age. i never thought about giving her away to another home after that because i knew no one could love her as fiercely as i do. in the end, i went crying to my brother about it, which was highly fortunate for mocha and i. he reminded me that we took mocha on a walk in a totally different area where there were no cyclists. mocha got her alibi and i was able to relax knowing that she wasn't going anywhere.

when i got mocha as a puppy, i underestimated what i was getting into. little did i know that i pretty much sold my soul to the devil, and i am okay with that. i feel as though i matured a lot through having her, and we've both taught each other so much. the biggest thing i learned is that every second counts and to spend every moment making good memories.

An animal that has made a major impact on my life would be my 7 year old husky Voodoo.

The last few years have been really rough for my mental health, pushing me to the point of having to leave public school and join online school because of how bad the environment was for an already bad mental state. Voodoo was always there with me in my bed when I was crying, trying to lick the tears before they fell from my eyes - which was weirdly painful as she slapped my eyes with her tongue... She's always been my anchor, keeping me here, and giving me a reason to keep going every day. She's absolutely my baby, and gets treated like on.

She absolutely despises cuddles and affection unless its on her time, but knows exactly when her momma needs her cuddles.

Competition:

when I was about 3 my brother and i went to day care, sometimes if we were good our mom would bring us gummy sharks or lollipops but one day it was something that changed our lives. I remember looking in the front seat and theres this pure black cocker spaniel X black lab puppy. My oldest brothers named her Boo boo kitty f***(cencered, yes that was really her full name. I didnt know for a long time) but we shortened it to Boo because in the dark all you could see were her eyes. Most of the time we called her boosers. We werent technically allowed to have her in our appartment so my mom snuck her in a duffle bag.

She loved to play with us...and by that i mean she pulled my brother down the stairs by his pant leg XD. We would rub her belly and when she was kicking would ask "where are you peddling off to?" And name any random place.
We ran around our yard playing fetch and on one occasion I decided while my mom was gone that I would make her into a "hot dog" as in I put bologna, ketchup, mustard, mayo, and a lot of other stuff all on her back. When my mom came home she said that boo looked so helpless like "what is she doing to me????" I thought she would eat it, she did not.
Sometimes my brother and I would watch Homeward Bound just so we could hug and love boo. We also were having a tea party on our porch when a bee showed up, boo saw it and ate it to protect us.

As she got older we tried to breed her because she was just such a great dog we wanted to have a puppy of hers. She was PICKY. Eventually we found her right fit, another cocker spaniel we named patches. Together they had three puppies; Rasa, Isis, and Oreo. Rasa didnt make it. Isis went to my uncle and is now named Lady, and Oreo was stolen from our yard.

In winter we would run around throwing snowballs to boo and patches. They looked so confused when they disintegrated into the rest of the snow on the ground.

After boo had her puppies she started having problems going potty. We think that there was a puppy still left inside but we never found out for sure. Anyway because of this she became an outside dog. I hated it so much, I felt bad for her. I would go outside and sit with her for hours. I would beg my mom to let her come inside and snuggle for the night but I was never successful.

We often went to a park in the city with her and patches, all as family. We would walk the trails and play fetch. The dogs would play with the other dogs in the park. I have some great memories from that park.

As time went on I stopped playing with her as much and became exhuasted and depressed because of middle school starting and family problems. Regardless she would wait for me at the fence every day making sure I was coming home even though she was old she still wanted to play so badly.

That year we noticed a strange thing going on with her paw. It looked like she had ripped her pad off so we treated her for gangrene and took her to the vet.
The vet told us she had cancer. We all felt so horrible for not noticing she was in such pain. She would always make sure we were happy. She licked our tears away. But she was so happy she hid her pain from us. She just wanted to love us. We did what we thought was best for her and set an appintment for seeptember 2nd 2014.

September 1st 2014 we took boo to the park we used to go to when we were young. We walked the trails, fed her berries, and took pictures with her...for the last time. She wouldnt walk until she could see all of us were with her. We put her good paw in some ink and got a paw print that we plan to use as a tattoo.

The next day we went to the vet. Boo was never scared at the vet, she gave the lady kisses. The whole time we were crying and she would lick our tears away just like she did when I was little and fell off my bike. She didnt want us to be sad. The doctor gave her the shot. My mom, brother, and I hugged her and pet her as of it would make things better.
I still remember her final breath. It was ragged and I almost asked if there was something wrong but then her breathing stopped. We stayed in that room for about an hour before we were ready to leave.
We cremated her and now every september 2nd I donate dog food to my local animal shelter. Even though we got her from a breeder and she was the runt, I think she would want us to be helping other dogs not as lucky as she was to find a family.

I miss her so much. It makes me cry just typing this. We love her ❤ and now she's with patches, Rasa, and Oscar (my sister's dad)

My sweet little boy, Augustus. I got this little bun from the spca; he was so scared and hurt, barely trusted me at first, and we honestly grew together. I consider him my ESA and he's helped me through some of my worst times, mental health wise.

He's kind and loving, always cuddles with me; I first saved him and now he's saved me, and I will be forever grateful for that. Right now he's curled up into me, flopped and asleep while I type. I owe everything to him.

I remember bringing him with me on my way to get my second bunny; who's tearing apart my room currently by throwing my things around and binkying her little life away. Auggie immediately loved her and that confirmed that I was keeping her; she was only meant to stay for a while before I rehomed her, and I really couldn't. Even if she is the devil. which she is

Auggie is the light of my life, and I wouldn't give him up for anything. I truly feel like he understands why I need him and why I go to him each time I get upset, he's just the sweetest and kindest boy, I wish I could share him with all who needs him.

Where do I even start...

I ride horses, I guess that’s a good thing to get out of the way. I’ve been competing in Hunter/Jumper events for 11 years. I went through a time with a trainer who didn’t want me to succeed, and my confidence suffered. My old trainer wouldn’t let me jump or compete (even though I had done both on a consistent winning basis before) with my pony because she wanted her daughter to win. It felt like it was because I wasn’t good enough. I was convinced I had zero talent in the sport. I had no friends at this barn and my mom was blind to it so I felt like I had no one to turn to. Eventually a new girl came to the barn, we'll call her Natalia right now, and she fit perfectly with my personality. We became best friends. The trainer began taking her aggressions out on not just me but Natalia also, and I couldn’t put her through that. So I convinced my mom to let me leave and find a new barn. I was sad to leave Natalia behind, but I knew once I left she’d be able to have a fair riding career. Finally I was free, at a new barn which I loved. But there was one problem. I had a pony that had t jumped in three years, and he was not happy about his job becoming harder. He would run uncontrollably and jump the fence of the arena. He’d run me into the walls of buildings and take off into the parking lot. He was a jerk. And still I felt like this was my fault. I had watched everyone my age move up without me, and I was left behind. It was hard. My new trainers came to me and said I should get a horse, and they wanted me to try Silvio. He was a chestnut gelding, warmblood, with an irregular crescent moon shaped stripe on his forehead. He was an aggressive creature, and the girl who rose him never gave him any extra time or care because of it. Turns out she was quitting, so he’d need a new owner. I agreed to try him, and he was fantastic when I was in the saddle but he charged at me in the ground. He would snap and kick and bite. He was awful. But he was reliable when I was on, so we decided to take a chance. We bought him. I spent every waking moment with that horse over the summer. I say in his stall with him, I groomed him constantly, I took the hay and grain away from our grooms and fed him myself. Eventually he got used to me, even looked forward to me being there. He’d whinny at me and our relationship grew. And so did my confidence.

Fast forward three years...

In the ring we became unstoppable, and with enough practice we became in sync completely. Silvio is my best friend, we understand each other. I’ve never ever felt this way with another horse. It’s like we sense each other. We won multiple national titles and competed at multiple high level competitions. But no worries, because unlike some other horsewomen/men I don’t ride hard all the time. That’s the key. I take into account what my partner wants and we do those things. Sometimes we go for an hour long trail and I let him swim in the pond. Sometimes we work out over cavaletti gymnastics. Sometimes I just groom him. I love this horse. The other night I was at the barn, and all the horses were sleeping. But there was Silvio, staring out his window at the stars. And I stared with him. Recently I did a clinic with a major trainer in the hunter world and he told me this, “this is a fantastic horse, he’s one in a million, but do you know why he is? Because you make him great. Do you know why you’re great? Because he makes you great. I’ve never seen a pair of horse and rider this young and this bonded in my whole career.”

Thank you for the opportunity. I really enjoyed writing this, and there’s so many more things I could add! I hope it’s coherent lol! Silvio is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, so I mean if any one out there is a horse persona and wants to talk more about this or their horses let me know! Feel free to PM me I love hearing from equestrians! And I hope someone enjoyed reading this, I wish I could share more of our story, but it’s just too long to fit in a single post!

For my boy, “Silvs”,
