CUPOLA is a royally-pedigreed third generation home-bred of the late Prince Khalid Abdullah, the founder and owner of the iconic Juddmonte Farm.
When βCUPOLA, age seven, did not become pregnant for the third consecutive year when mated with Charming Kitten (for her third owner Dawn Martin who is also the named breeder of her 2020 filly by Wicked Strong), she showed up amid a sea of unwanted horses at the New Holland Auction.
Within weeks, CUPOLA and three other papered, Martin-owned mares landed at Rotz Livestock. They were all tagged and sorted for slaughter.
Unbridled purchased Cupola from Rotz and saved her life.
Cupola shipped to Unbridled on January 7, 2021. At Unbridled, Cupola will be given the time and support that she needs to reclaim her health, dignity, and grace.
βIn November of 2021, CUPOLA was adopted into a loving home with her BFF BABY and pasture pal LADY.

At 26 years of age, CENSORED is the equivalent of
a 78-year-old human.
In her youth she was celebrated and coddled. She won stakes races and earned $329,518. Her racing owner, Mike Pegram retired her to the breeding shed. She was mated with his Kentucky Derby winner Real Quiet and sold through Keeneland for $210,000 in 2000. Censored produced several foals, the last in 2010. When we discovered CENSORED, she was starving, bruised, and battered in clutches of a depraved horse meat broker.
When CENSORED needed a lifeline out of the notorious Thompson Feedlot in Louisiana, our loving community leapt into action. Within hours the funds needed to save her life came forth; including a contribution from her trainer of over two decades ago, Bob Baffert.

CENSORED flourished as best she could in the loving care and kindness of Unbridled. In July of 2021, she was humanely and peacefully laid to rest due to the infirmities of old age. She lives on in the hearts of the many humans she touched in her at Unbridled.
