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, but otherwise, they share the same long, strong legs, powerful hind, and great speed of ordinary Thoroughbreds. They can grow from 15hh-18hh, though usually are 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. Pick how your Euphorians move forwards!

Saw a real pretty maximum white splash earlier and wanted to recreate it! To enter for this Euphorian, write what you're proud of yourself for! It can be anything, just please 20 words or more just to make sure there's some effort <3 This mare will be judged off of name choice.

Competition:

Over the past year, I've started learning how to play video games from completely from knowing nothing. I played Super Mario Bros on my DSI XL a lot as a kid, but I was never able to have any other console or PC to play the games that really seemed to interest me. I went from watching my favorite Let's Players on youtube to actually moving the characters around and making my own choices. I still am...fairly bad at video games. I lack a lot of the muscle memory, timing, and accuracy needed to play fps and a lot of combat games, but I am extremely proud of how far I've come. I play video games during most of my free time now and they have come to be something I don't think I will ever stop playing.

Competition: the thing i am most proud of myself for is everything i have done with my horse over the past two years. when i first met shire, he was a scrawny twenty-something grade horse who only had one eye. he had sat in a pasture for some years, after having been both a barrel horse and breakaway horse, as well as having done some lessons. he would have been put down if the owners of the barn i work and ride at had not taken him in. when he first arrived, i’ll admit he wasn’t much to look at. his feet were long and in horrible condition, he was underweight and covered in rain rot. after some tender love and care he was turned back out in a pasture with plans for him to only do beginner lead line lessons for young kids and nervous adults, as he was a very quiet and relaxed guy. when we first crossed paths, it was completely by chance. from our first ride he had the heart, though he was a bit all over the place, considering he had just sat in a pasture and done walk-trot lessons beforehand. before i rode him, i never really believed there was a such thing as “clicking” with a horse. that completely changed the day i climbed aboard him, after just a few minutes it felt as if i had been riding him my whole life. he’s one of those special heart horses; honest and kind, the type of horse so many people search for but only a few will ever find. well, he’s mine. after about six months of working together and getting him back in shape, we hauled him thirty minutes away to a local tuesday night jackpot. it was, put simply, a mess, and that was when he did go in the arena without spooking. but as embarrassing as that outing was, i was never discouraged or afraid being on him. i worked with him some more with my trainer and a few months later, we took him out to another little jackpot. i had been a little apprehensive going in the alleyway, afraid it would be the last show all over again. that evening, he blew me away. we ended up pulling an 18 something run, i can’t quite remember the exact time, and while we may have been at the bottom of the 4d, i was so blown away with how calm and focused he had been in the arena. he had been a little jittery around the trailer, but once he was in the alleyway, he was cool and collected, ears perked forward ready to work.

at the same time as that show, owning him had crossed my mind. it took eight months of five days a week feeding and cleaning stalls to call that horse my own, and i don’t regret a second of it. i never would have thought that this little skinny one-eyed gelding would leave such a big impact on my life. he’s everything i’ve always dreamed of, everything i’ve ever wanted in a horse; trustworthy, honest, with the biggest heart. he’s taught me so much, not just about riding and running barrels, but patience, determination, a want to be better and do bigger things. he’s athletic enough that i can run a good pattern on, but safe enough that my toddler nephew can climb on him and ride him around bareback, and i don’t have to worry about him. he’s taken me so far, introduced me to things i never would have tried without him; we’ve done barrels, pole bending, jumping, sorting, and are just now starting to break into roping, though time will tell if that will ever go anywhere, i’m not the most handy with a rope cx. i’ve taken him down miles of trails bareback; he’s the horse I can put my inexperienced friends on if they ever want to come out and ride. to make a long story short, I’m proud of my hard work with him; I’m proud to have looked at him and seen more than the scrawny thing he used to be, and I’m proud of us.

wowwww i got a little carried away. forgive me, sometimes i never know when to shut up cx

Competition: I think the thing I'm most proud of about myself is that I found a job I'm so passionate about so young. A lot of people take years and years and years to find the thing they really LIVE for and I just figured it out so soon, and I'm honestly so proud of myself for that. And besides that, I'm really motivated to actually take the time to learn what I need to learn to perform my job to the best of my ability, which is not only helping me, but the dogs I groom are getting a better quality of life because I am able to educate their owners on what is best for their dog and for them.

Competition:
something i'm proud of for myself personally, is learning how to just let things go. i used to be so obsessed with getting back at someone, and letting their negative energy absolutely ruin my life, but i'm slowly learning to just let that go. i've learned to let a lot go when it comes to my father, past and present instances. from past verbal abuse, to current abandonment, and that's thanks to getting help for myself, and allowing myself to find myself in the process of healing. although i'm still in a tough spot relationship wise, we've finally declared it's best to take a break, and i'm super proud of that. i've went from begging and pleading for attention from the one person i thought would stick with me through thick and thin, to finally gripping some sort of peace with not having to be attached at the hip with him.

Competition: One thing that I am really proud of myself for, is quitting smoking. It was very difficult for me because I was up to a pack or more every day and I was spending around 300 dollars per month just on cigarettes. Not only was it bad for my health but it was destroying my finances, especially as the pandemic stretched on longer and longer without that economic bounce-back I had been waiting for. On the anniversary of my wedding, I smoked my last cigarette and when I crushed it out I was determined that I would never smoke again. It has now been five months since that day and I am happy to say that I am nicotine-free!

I've started crocheting again! I have a hard time keeping up a lot of my hobbies, but crocheting was one that always could keep me busy for hours on end (it's a very good activity for someone like me that struggles with having nothing to do lol) and it's been a lot of fun to start making things again. I've always enjoyed making things for other people, and I'm glad that I can start doing that again. Admittedly my stitches are still very uneven and wonky, but we're getting there!! I've started crocheting a baby blanket for my brother and sister in law and it's been so much fun personalizing it for them. It wont look very even once it's done but it'll be the first project I've done in a couples years now and I'm already so proud of it.

Competition: one of the things i'm most proud of is how far i've come with my boy frankie. we started when i was little, just casually put on him for a lesson, and now i still ride him 11 years later. we've moved up from tiny groundpoles and cavaletti to 3 foot jumps and from showing in w/t crossrail to the actual hunter ring (and maybe soon jumpers?). i'm so proud of us for getting so far together and so glad i decided to stick with my favorite brat <3
