RIP painted Moneighs at Keeneland on October 7, 2024.

 

RIP was foaled on June 10, 2020. His owner, Monnie Goetz, purchased him from the breeder when he was about 6 months old. He is a registered American Sugarbush Draft. His name was inspired by the actor who plays RIP on the cable show Yellowstone.

 

RIP was nurtured and matured in the pasture with Monnie’s famous pony horse Harley. Monnie said Harley liked RIP the moment they met. RIP is Harley’s half-brother.

 

RIP stepped foot on the Churchill Downs track in late 2022 as a two year old. He trained for a few weeks them was turned out. He returned to the track the following spring when he was three years old. He trained for a few weeks, he was turned out again and returned to the track in the fall.

 

RIP is about 16.1 hand tall and weighs about 1,300 pounds. And, he’s still growing. His breed matures at seven years old.

 

Monnie describes RIP as a nice horse. He has an even temperament, a great personality, he loves his job, and the racehorses at Churchill Downs and Keeneland have great respect for him. Yet at home he is described as a “little kid”. He loves his pasture time, he puts his feet in the water tub and has learned how to open the gates.

 

RIP and Harley enjoy standing at the rail of the track to meet their fans. Though Harley is their main focus, RIP makes sure he gets their attention by pawing. He even tries to take peppermints and carrots away from Harley.
