lmao i know she just made it up! no way on this earth was she an apprentice jockey! Yeah Rob must have been for Shire racing
I worked for Linda Perratt a while ago he was a lovely horse in the stable and out big paddy
He was just about to be retired at the age of 12 and then that happened, just so out of the blue, think he was going to be used as a stallion but not in racing r.i.p. paddyQuito loves children we are lucky for that he likes interacting with other animals too even the horses
But the big question is will he need the snip! Hope not but humping things in the house is just a nooo noo! He’s not started that….yet but the majority of puppies do start it and it’s so embarissing!The racing schools offer training not only in yard work but in secetary courses too, and provide training to those who want to be stall handlers. The national stud also do courses on stud work and secetery work
I know a couple of trainers looking for staff those are
Richard Guest
Rodger Ingrim
Micky Hammond
Donald McCain
Heather DaltonThis is a good site http://www.yardandgroom.com
Feel guilty for not mentioning Monty and Oliver [the goldfish]
Oliver [named after monty roberts] was the best looking goldfish at the pet shop and Monty is special coz he was all alone in a tank by himself and looked all lonely so we paired them up and now they are best buds, was hoping for them to have babies but it’s not happened
must be 2 males or 2 females
always know when to feed them coz Oliver shakes himself when i walk past, was trying to get them to follow my finger but it’s just not happeningwow i have went on far too much about boring goldish
It’s such a shame but he ended his career a winner! and he has great prospects at stud, I think he will impress as a stallion. I’m just so glad that it’s nothing worse than a small fracture and that he will live a good life
or maybe, just maybe (and I know this sounds crazy) he was beaten by a better horse..
Yeah your right there, and it’s even more difficult when your riding a finish against Fallon, Yeats is better than Scorpian and Scorpian has had a reputation for being difficult, don’t think there is any more to it than that!
I’ve only just realised that this site is obviously Simon Earle’s idea as it has his horses in training and pics of Simon himself
didn’t even notice, glad he is sticking with his methods, doesn’t get the credit he deservesNever heard of Oz but I know Desert Fighter isn’t there anymore, yeah Noddy is a bit of a handful at times i have a scar on my side from were he bit me but i still love him, never rode him he had a tendon injury when I was there
Lorenzino is the best too infact Noddy and Lorenzino got to be good friends in the field although Noddy was the leader that was obviousYes Nick Ross was the slowest thing there
but i looked after him in the stable he was such a lovely horse to work with miss him so much :cry Carbury cross was another favourite….and grampian….and bodfari well i could go on all day Well it’s a good job i’ve not just ridden ‘ponies’ and ‘riding horses’ and ridden all my life, trained at the NRC, and worked and ridden for 5 different trainers, isn’t it? Not to mention a foundation degree in Equine Science.
I know exactly what your saying, was made to feel my equine experiences and qualifications were totally invalid and that I was just some average pony rider
When did you train at NRC? I was there back in march, did you know ray? Was Nick Ross there when you were?
I’m with Yeats on this one, although in time I could change my mind, Septimus is a very classy horse
will be just as good in time to come anywayI just believe that you should only put the horse down if all else fails in his training/ re-training. But who is to say this horse is a nutcase? He bolted once on the track and could have killed himself and his jockey, yes it’s not act of a quiet hack i know that. But the horse may not do it again, he may be responsive to re-training. None of us know that, I just thought it’s a little too quick to be saying ‘put the horse down’….
As for the British Racing School I don’t understand why an owner would give them a dangerous horse that students would be riding. The British Racing School has also put down 4 horses this year, mostly for colic, I personally think they are too quick at pulling the trigger, treatment was a possibility but there are always complications with money I know that.
Kelly Marks would be able to sort this horse out most probably, and other people like her but again it’s very expensive to get a problem horse treated….But it is a possibility
I didn’t say it was a laughing matter!
What do you mean with time and experience? I do have experience as it happens I work in a racing yard and have owned horses as a kid, including a TB!, i’m just a firm believer that you shouldn’t put a healthy horse down! Yes, perhaps the horse is dangerous! But my age and experience has nothing to do with my opinion! All i’m saying is that if the horse does prove to be ‘Off his head’ then take him off the track don’t kill him! I don’t think the trainer would have put the horse or jockey in danger if he knew the horse was going to bolt!
Yes, I am aware that bolters are dangerous as I have ridden a few in the past and actually had a nasty fall on one that spooked a couple of years ago.
