What is Sorrows End Farm?
Located in Northeast Tennessee, Sorrows End
Farm is a horse training and boarding facility,
also specializing in Thoroughbred training and
sales. Many of our horses for sale are
Thoroughbreds that are retraining off the
racetrack, although many never raced. Our goal
is to offer ex-racehorses a chance at a second
career after the track and to start young
thoroughbreds correctly in a career that can
show off their amazing ability and talent in a
discipline other than racing..
We also offer horse boarding, training and
riding lessons. Please contact us for rates.

About off-the-track Thoroughbreds
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 not
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.
In our riding, we strive to teach and achieve harmony with our horses,
whatever we are trying to do. We have successfully helped numerous
clients with horses that owners had become frustrated with or had
"lost hope on." Sorrows End offers a quiet, happy, consistent
environment for horses and their riders, enabling them to develop a
positive attitude about riding. We believe riding should be fun for the
horse and rider, and strive to meet each individual horse and riders
needs.

"...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. "
-- Baron von Munchhausen
