Unfortunately where I am on the Northants/Bucks border we aren't that well endowed with hills - but there are a couple of steady inclines that work him well and one short, very steep 'bum exercising' hill that we try to spend at least one session a week running up and down for a bit on each...

Leo's 18 (going on 8!), a Standardbred and trained & raced the first 11-12 years of his life as a harness racer (pacer) - which is why he is so easy to come fit and has a relaxed, mile-eating trot. :) He does have a bit of an odd way of going though that takes getting used to, mainly due to...

While I'm waiting for my account to be activated with the EGB forum ;) I thought I'd seek out any advice here too. :) After doing some unaff. dressage over winter to keep reasonable fit, my wonky ol' boy and I are really wanting to pop our EGB cherry this year - but as a complete newbie I'm...

Thanks for that. :) It may well be that we have to stick to Trailblazers and BD, but it would be nice to have had the chance to show him where his scars/racing injuries won't be counted against him. I'm just a bit soft really. He's come through so much and tries so hard that I want to give the...

But that's the thing - he is (or rather 'was'). He raced (and was placed) in sanctioned and regulated races at recognised tracks in Great Britain for many years. He was trained, bet on and subject to strict veterinary examination. THere is no listing (that I can find anyway) that states that...

It's pity if that is the case. His racing career ended abruptly with a horrific accident, he pulled through that only to be abandoned mid-winter by the next owner, survived that, learned to canter, jump and started competing at Prelim dressage. If that's not 're-training' I don't know what is. :D

STAGBI.

I have emailed RoR and Weatherbys but haven't heard back yet. Just wondering if anyone else had experienced any problems or issues like this. The RoR site isn't very specific when it comes to listing the requirements with regard to qualifying horses... or rather those which are perhaps...

As far as I'm aware this is the case, but I don't know if you can simply 'register' a horse with Weatherbys for this, if you need their passport re-issued or if it's simply an impossibility. The only other requirement I can find listed on the RoR website is that they have raced in Great Britain...

Does anyone have any experience of registering a horse for the RoR series of competitions where the horse's passport wasn't issued by Weatherbys?
