Are you looking for a four-legged best friend who will make you laugh, keep you company, and demand scratches like he’s royalty? Meet Riggs (registered as Florida Express) —an 8-year-old retired Thoroughbred with charm, personality, and an uncanny ability to convince you he needs just one more treat. The Backstory: Riggs had a respectable (but not exactly Seabiscuit-level) racing career with 21 starts before deciding he much preferred a life of leisure. He was restarted for hunter/jumper, but due to arthritis and kissing spine, his vet has officially diagnosed him as "too fabulous for riding." So, he's looking for a home where he can be a pasture ornament, groundwork enthusiast, or your new liberty work partner. What You’re Getting: ✅ A giant, affectionate dog disguised as a horse—he LOVES people, horses, and dogs. ✅ A pasture greeter—expect him to meet you at the gate like a Walmart employee (but with way more enthusiasm). ✅ A pasture companion—currently rooming with two other geldings and gets along great with other horses. ✅ A barefoot, low-maintenance dude who knows how to lunge and has great ground manners. What He’s Looking For: Riggs needs a loving home with space to roam, plenty of attention, and someone who enjoys the finer things in life—like scratching his favorite itchy spots. If I had more acreage, he’d never leave, but since I want the best for him, I’m offering him for a minimal rehoming fee (just to make sure he lands in the right hands). If you think you have the perfect retirement gig for this lovable, nosy, and slightly dramatic ex-racehorse, send me a message. Riggs promises to repay you with endless companionship and the occasional attempt to “help” you with barn chores.
