His Story:
"Popcorn" was owned by the kill-buyer at an auction in February. Who remembers "Popcorn"? He was the BIG guy we saved from slaughter in February. He has had a long road, fighting off a nasty respiratory infection with lime green snot, rain rot, and being skinnier than any horse his size should have ever been. He was always sound from day one, only having an issue with some pesky hoof abscesses. He does require front shoes as he gets a little tender footed if barefoot.
He loves people, loves attention, wants to always be in your pocket and see what you're doing. This horse will make you laugh every minute of every day! He gets along well with other horses and enjoys to eat. No vices. No issues. UTD on shots and was fully treated for his yucky respiratory infection / snotty nose back in February. He does not have a tattoo and didn't come with papers so his history is unknown. He has clean legs and has been in the care of a veterinarian (she has been fostering him since day one). He is actually quite a pretty mover so dressage or even hunters could be in his future.
Popcorn has no known issues that we have found in the past year, however,....he is a "roarer". He does make a breathing noise when ridden especially at the canter. Our vet scoped him and did confirm he has "laryngeal paralysis" for the technical term, and would require tieback surgery in order to fix the issue IF YOU WANTED TO COMPETE AT RATED SHOWS/ UPPER LEVEL CAREER. The surgery is not necessary for ANY easier-going type of job. Pleasure riding, weekly lessons, going to clinics, local shows, pony club, local dressage/hunter/jumper shows, hill topping, etc. It would be an issue for someone looking to do rigorous careers with long periods of cantering/galloping where it could hinder his ability to "catch his breath", OR at rated shows where the noise can penalize you in rated dressage and hunter classes. The surgery is very common and typically around $2-$3k, if someone decided to pursue it. We just want to be clear, he does not NEED the surgery to have a normal job and happy life

PA Racehorse Rehoming,Rehabilitation, Rescue is a Federal 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Federal ID number: 66-0821935
whose Articles of Incorporation were filed with the State of Pennsylvania on May 9, 2014 (effective date of exemption) with
Public Charity Status 509(a)(2) under section 501(c)(3).
Contributions made to PARR are tax deductible. Our Letter of Determination
from the IRS was received on April 16, 2015 and any donations made after May 9th, 2014 may qualify for tax exemption.


Our Legal Name is "PA Racehorse Rehoming, Rehabilitation, & Rescue" and we often go by the abbreviated nickname "PARR". PARR operates  on a 100% volunteer basis with all proceeds going to our cause and the animals. Any and all items or monetary donations go directly to the expenses of supporting these animals. This includes veterinary expenses, transport, "pull" fees, food/boarding or stabling/supplies/etc, legal fees, advertising/event costs, merchandise expenses, website and technology fees etc. Individuals on the Board are not paid for their positions. We offer 100% transparency and are happy to answer any questions and provide all financial information at any time.
Our officers, directors, and volunteers take a neutral position with respect to the controversy associated with horse racing. Our efforts focus on the well being, re-homing, and education and support of ex-racehorses and finding them new careers after their racing careers have ended. We also support at-risk shelter dogs and occasional at-risk horses that end up neglected or in auction/slaughter situations when finances and abilities allow us to help. Any "listings" are simply to help network animals into new homes and we
can not be responsible for the representation of those animals.

As of July 2021, the facility we rented in Pennsylvania was sold out from under us with barely enough time to relocate over 30 horses anywhere in the area. We were able to secure a permanent residence at a new farm in Ocala and move all of our horses there. PARR now resides in Ocala, Florida but still operates as usual, helping horses from Pennsylvania as much as we can, offering sanctuary to our lifelong residents that are not adoptable or require veterinary care to say comfortable, and have our OTTB retraining program here in Ocala as well.

We are now permanently located at 6856 SW 70th Ave. Ocala, Florida 34476.
