They both go through Danzig, isn't that a good line for eventers, I'm sure I read that somewhere. Se seems to identify as a shetland in winter, his coat is like a yack!
Nothing like galloping on a tb is there. We had a bowl along xc schooling last weekend, it felt mega :D.
They are similar aren't they, Se is by Teofilo (Galileo) and out of Seven Veils (Danehill Dancer). His passport name is Veiled Secret (lol, what a silly name) if you wanted to look him up. I think he cost a hell of a lot more to get on the ground in a fancy tb stud in Ireland than he ever got...
Best of luck at Hickstead, I'll have to go and watch an RoR showing class. In my opinion, there is nothing more beautiful than a line up of thoroughbreds!
Thank you, I'm totally obsessed with him!! It's weird, I'm over 40 and like a little girl with her beloved pony all over again 😂.
Thank you, it's taken a while with him but I think we've got him super confident in himself now and with a feed regime that's keeping the condition on. He's not an easy keeper!
Also, if anyone has an Instagram they are using to document progress with your exracer I'd love to follow. I love seeing how other people are getting on with their retraining journey.
Hope anyone attending the RoR Winter Dressage Champs is having a great time.
How are we all getting on with our exracers coming into spring, and do we have a plan for a season of competing?
We're pretty much ready to go eventing, we've trained, been out and about and he's come out so bold...
I know, I was out schooling last weekend in GW and he's ready but now I've got nowhere to go!! Is the all weather course open at Keysoe do you know? I keep checking their website and it's been "coming soon" for about a year.
I've been looking at the calendar for East Anglia as my lad is just about ready to take to his first BE and it is completely dire. Nothing in the whole of Norfolk apart from Burnham Market, where the first one started at 100 and we can't start at that hight, until September with the second...
What a beautiful round, amazing horse, perfectly ridden.
On a different note, you guys should be some sort of eventing poster faces for RoR. I always see these influencer types (no offence to them and I follow a few) promoting RoR when they appear to have no connection to exracers. It makes me...
Late to the party here but hope you're ok @J_sarahd. I know it must be so frustrating not being able to crack on, but you should be so proud of yourself that you listened to her, got her diagnosed and have a plan to help her. You do you and what's best for Nova, before you know it you'll be...
A bit late to the party @Cates123 but I had a very similar situation to you. Mine is older (9 yo at the time) but I ended up vaulting off mounted games style (he's big at 16.3 and I'm over 40 so that was an experience I don't want to repeat) because he lost his s**t on a fun ride and was fly...
First competitive outing for my exracer and first in 20 years for me this weekend :oops:. We've done lots of training and clinics so I'm feeling comfortable with us doing an intro and prelim test at a low key, unaffiliated local venue. I'm actually super excited to get him all platted up for the...
