Onyx Storm is a handsome young Thoroughbred gelding with a powerful story of resilience and second chances. He was one of three yearlings rescued from a kill pen after their purchaser failed to complete payment, leaving them abandoned and without a safety net. Known simply as “Ed” prior to receiving his Jockey Club name, Onyx Storm was brought into Resolute Racing’s Racing to Rescue program, ensuring he would have the opportunity for a safe and secure future.
Following his rescue, Onyx Storm entered race training at WinStar, where he showed willingness and a good work ethic. While he ultimately did not progress toward a racing career, he gained valuable foundational experience before returning to the farm to let down, mature, and enjoy life outside of training.
When he was deemed ready we began the search for his new and forever home and he found the best home with a young man entering horse ownership for the first time! While being guided by a trainer he is learning all about caring for and riding his new partner and they are the best pair. We look forward to the updates we have been sent and they truly seem to enjoy each others company.
