I can't post a link but At The Races fb page have just shared that Sir Gino is doing well and responding to treatment which is really positive news. Crossing everything for him.

Yes! Until my horse broke I was having lessons with her (Welsh Sec D so not some massive dressage horse) and really rate her. I had her in the 90s with a previous pony too. She has helped me more than any other instructor, is really encouraging too. Go for it.

Agree 100%. I don't want to criticise the owner but surely CH has done more than enough, he's reached the heights only a few greats reach, let him do something else which isn't a risk to his life. I think its the owner personally, NH knows the risks and knows that it'll be his face on the...

From horse owning in the early 80s to now....how many ways there now are to end up poor, physios, dentists, saddle fitter, bridle fitter, special shoes because normal aren't good enough and oh my dear god the RUGS! It never fails to shock me. The underlying bitchiness just about everywhere...

I think Caroline is still alive and kicking, it was her husband that sadly passed.

I find this bizarre and uncomfortable viewing, I reflect what a lot of others have said, if the worst happens should they jump him in a race again then I hope they can somehow justify it. Horse seems to have totally bottled it and is no longer a safe conveyance. (Caveat to say I know Im not NH...

What a shambles. As well as the comments from Matt C, there have been comments from NH and his wife both stating that this has all been taken care of their end. I dont know what his current minder was thinking but it is bad to imply that they don't care. Think NH has enough on his plate this...

Crossing everything he can withstand the recovery and come good again, I keep thinking of the trauma (for me anyway) of monitoring the progress of St Nicholas Abbey, I was merely a fan of his and that was heartbreaking, so close and yet so far. For my, I would hope they could get him sound and...

Thanks for flagging up the Venetia clip, really enjoyed it and it reminded me of this one - apologies if it's already been posted. A friend of mine is related to Ruth Carr and often tells me about the great life her horses have. She features in the first 12 minutes of this long video so it's...

Yes it was Reynold, it was Nico who pulled him up and it probably did save his life. About CH, I'm another who hopes that his owner agrees to retire him. He was unbeaten in 10 races with Nico and was unstoppable, then had a long time off with injury and his return has been marred by these tip...

Hi OP, any update? Further to my last comment - it was ulcers, had him scoped this morning. Section D, doesn't fit the stereotype, but is a stress head. Maybe worth a look?

She looked really good, because she's so glam (as is Meg N) you sometimes forget they are from racing families and grew up on horses. Francesca came across as really lovely too and can obviously ride well, that line of fences she did was fantastic footage.

Judging by your username Im assuming you've watched the Paul Webber one with Francesca schooling? One of the best of these type of YouTubes I've ever seen, loved it!

Just caught up with this post, sorry to read your last update. Going through similar with mine although we did find there were some lameness issues which are resolved; however the behaviour has not been hence the vet is scoping him this week. If she's a stressy type and chomping when ridden it...

Just seen this, what a shame. They don't always come back from tendon injuries but let's hope he can.
