Following on from my thread yesterday about a potential new share horse, what do you do with your 3 year olds?
the thread read this (with bits added);
Okay, I had a share horse who has recently been sold and she was great, 10 years old and you could do anything with him and I was just...

If pay really bothers you then take my advice and don't work in horse racing, there are plenty of others on...
