Hey there,

I'm Major!

I'm a 2015 AQHA Appendix. My dad, Hot Ones Only, is the ONLY stallion to be a Nine-Time World Champion and Thirteen-Time Congress Champion — the highest money earning HUS stallion in history. My previous owners had high hopes for me. And guess what? I had to retire from ridden work before I was 10 due to advanced osteoarthritis. Ain't life funny?!

All About Me

Major's Story

When Anne-Marie took me home in July of 2021, I wasn't sure what to think. My whole life had changed. I didn't understand my body and I was in a lot of pain. My body wasn't in great condition and my mind was struggling to embrace change. I had only really known one existence, and suddenly my world was turned upside down.

We've been on a long journey together filled with highs and lows, all of which have landed me here. I retired from "traditional" horse life in August 2024 and stepped into my role as Chief Horse Officer of Major's Place. Here, I get to embrace and fulfill my purpose as an equine therapist and friend.

I'm so glad that you've found Major's Place and I can't wait to meet you soon!

Welcome to Major's Place. Here, you are enough just as you are.
