What is Sorrows End Farm?
Located in Northeast Tennessee, Sorrows End Farm
specializes in Thoroughbred training and sales. Most of our
horses for sale are Thoroughbreds that are retraining off the
racetrack, although some have never raced. Our goal is to
offer ex-racehorses a chance at a second career after the
track.

We also offer horse boarding, training and riding lessons.
Please contact us for rates.
Why an off-the-track Thoroughbred?
Thoroughbreds are by nature very athletic, versatile and intelligent horses. They excel in numerous
careers including hunters, jumpers,  foxhunting, dressage, eventing, as pleasure horses, and more.
Thoroughbreds have a wonderful work ethic and strive to please. They are responsive and willing, and
when trained correctly, are excellent equine partners with lots of heart that will do anything for their people.
Many Thoroughbreds that do not have successful careers as racehorses or are unable to continue racing
due to injury can go on to become excellent show prospects or pleasure horses.
Our goals and our style
Sorrows End is dedicated to helping Thoroughbreds that
are no longer competitive racing to learn new careers and
find good, non-racing homes. We train our horses to be
responsive, obedient, and respectful while giving them time
to 'be a horse.'
Our Thoroughbreds are schooled to move forward quietly in
a relaxed, balanced frame. Once they develop a good
forward and balanced gait, we teach them to move willingly
'on the bit' and to jump.

Our Thoroughbreds are evaluated for suitability and
soundness for their new careers. They have had a strong
basic reschooling under saddle, learned to work off the
aids and are jumping. Sorrows End strives to produce
sound, healthy, happy horses that are willing and ready to
move onto their new career.

"...And I was riding along,
my heart resounded in the
lawn-dampened steps,
resounded in the snorting and champing
on the bit by my gray,
and a blissful happiness lit up my heart    
and I knew:
If I now dropped out of the world,
I would fall into heaven. "
