Howard (Home Run)

Born in Pennsylvania, Howard began his athletic career as a racehorse in Maryland, where he competed in fourteen starts before retiring from the track at the age of four. His speed and determination on the racetrack would prove to be just the beginning of his journey.

Howard’s second chapter unfolded in Texas, where he discovered his calling as a hunter/jumper. His natural talent shone through as he excelled in local competitions for several years, demonstrating the same heart and athleticism that had served him well on the racetrack. However, persistent back problems began to cause him discomfort, and at just nine years old, the compassionate decision was made to retire him from competitive riding.

Today, Howard has found his perfect home at HorseLink, where he serves as the youngest member of our herd. Far from slowing down, he radiates happiness and personality, his spirited nature bringing joy to everyone around him. His transition from competitor to companion has revealed a new side of his character—one that promises to make him an invaluable team member in this next phase of his life.
