Don't they look great! Full marks to their new keeper, it must have been a bit nerve-wracking to have to introduce them to the hunting field, but what a good job they have done.

Hope they have many more happy years on the hunting field.

I can remember being at a local hunt meet and admiring one huge horse, when I got up a bit closer I could see the scar on his quarters and realised it was Grand National winner West Tip. It is so nice when these chasers can go on and on
having a busy retirement. I bet they are still the fastest in the field!

We had a horse come out with us that had run in the Cheltenham Gold Cup - think it came in 4th, and was in awe of it all day!

So nice to see these amazing horses enjoying a 'new' life….

They both looked fantastic and happy!

Agree, lovely to see these top horses out and about enjoying themselves, used to see Garrison Savannah out regularly and once Earth Summit came out on hound exercise with the bloodhounds :)

It is lovely to see old chasers in fact all retired and failed racehorses enjoying hunting but it's not the best course for them all .
