I can’t see the problem at all with putting the horse on here – far better here than being sent throught some ropey sale -that is what I would call irresponsible. Just because a horse is no longer a decent racehorse doesn’t mean it can’t go on and do another job well.
If we didn’t have too many I would definitely be interested. I bought an ex-racehorse as my 16 year old daughter’s first ‘proper’ horse (she had had ponies since being a tot) and she has had tons of fun and success with him. We bought him unseen and untried on the strength of a few photos and a vetting, first time we saw him was when he walked off the transporter’s lorry into our yard. I suppose in racing terms he would be a ‘yak’ having run on the flat and over hurdles over a good few years with no prize money to show for it. But he is sound and healthy and has won an awful lot in his so far brief showing career. I wouldn’t hesitate to have another!
hello am new
Had to register to post that if anyone has any news PLEASE update this thread. I watched the race and if I was looking at the right horse, (maybe more than one chestnut fell). I would swear the chestnut whose jockey was unerneath him was trying desperately to heave his prone body off the jock and not merely trying to rise. Praying he’ll be OK
