I know a lot of you out there own or have owned ex race horses
i had one when young he was 18 and just a little happy hacker, we brought him of a lady who brought him from racing in Ireland
so my question to you all is these
were do you get your ex racers from?
they are not all crazy are they? ( I don't believe they are but i have heard a number of people say my old boy was 1 in a million for being sane)
and finally is it difficult to bring a horse from racing to normal riding?
i do know they need turning away for a wile but is it just braking again or is it a different process
Please don't shoot me down i am just looking in to this as next year we are planning another little horse and would like an Ex racer but have to see if they will be suitable for what we want, don't want to get a horse we cant do justice
