Zingy was a 1995, dark bay, 16 hand, Thoroughbred mare. Zingy retired from racing in 2001 having earned over $23k in 38 starts. Zingy came to the ILEHC as part of a herd of horses relinquished by their owner who was no longer able to adequately care or feed horses. Zingy was extremely malnourished and underweight at that time, however, in just a few short months, she has been completely restored to excellent weight and health. Zingy lived a fulfilling 13 years at ILEHC, enjoying the good life, loved by many. Run free with your girlfriends, Zinga-ding.

Stein was a gorgeous 2012, 16 hand, dark bay (nearly black!) Thoroughbred, gelding. Mr. Stein is by Einstein (BRZ) winner of more than $2 million and out of the Dynaformer mare, Heartache Dyna. This impeccably bred gelding did well on the racetrack and last raced September 1, 2018 at Arlington Park retiring with over $48k in earnings from 25 starts. Stein was rescued by the ILEHC in early 2019 from a kill pen in Stroud, Oklahoma. Stein was one of the unfortunate victims of his owner's mass disposal of racing and breeding stock. Unfortunately, only a few of more than 40 suspected horses that were sold to slaughter by this owner were able to be recovered from slaughter auctions or feedlots. Thankfully, the ILEHC was able to step up to rescue this beautiful, sweet, sound, and kind gelding. ILEHC lost Stein to a pasture accident in mid-February 2020, way too soon.
