Brian the wannabe police horse has failed his exams! Too nervous apparently. Well we are all nervous taking exams aren't we
He's not a police horse, he's a very naughty boy...

Bahahahaha
Aww poor Brian, he looked lovely. I hope they find a good home for him. And don't change his name.
He's already being made into a celebrity at his original home http://www.thestablesec.co.uk/The_Stables_Equestrian_Centre/Welcome.html
I also own a horse called Brian who was another failure. Upon googling his racing name I found these tremendous quotes!
"Save your money and tell the trainer to find it a good home. That's the worst animal I have ever seen contesting a horse race"
"It couldn’t beat a three legged donkey with gout"
Must be something about the name!
I had to smile when the Police wanted to change his name. Nothing wrong with Brian (suits him actually) and their existing horses don't always have "tough" names. I was a Gamesmaker at Greenwich Park in the Accreditation Office. A couple of mounted Met Police turned up one day and had to have accreditation to get into the Park. I went out to see their horses (as you do!). Can't remember both the horses' names but one of them was Annabel, not exactly a "hard" name . . . . .
Ha Ha, I worked mounted at the games, and if you had asked I would have said I was riding Harry Hoover (half cob!). That was not his OFFICIAL name, ours are named after places in our county. The worst name I had was "Thorpe Salvin" which the spellcheck would change to Thorpe Saliva. You would hardly call that when catching from a field.
They have official names and pet ones. He may well have remained a Brian within his home environment.
All ours had official names. GMP uses the same names, when one retired the next up took the name and tra la, the tack peg was already labelled up.
Where were you working?

Don't GMP name them all after Dickens characters? I'm sure I read that once, Snodgrass has stuck in my mind?
My horse is called kevin.....
