Ex-racers are bonkers.

This is my boyfriend’s 80 year old super nan (having just lugged a bunch of jumps about!) having a ride on my 5 year old ex racer. I think this will make me smile forever!

This horse is worth his absolute weight in gold.

This is just lovely. what a lady. This made me smile.
My granny would’ve loved to ride my horses if she’d been fit. She was a super human stuck in an old done body but she gave me the opportunity to get my first pony and bought me my ex racer. Grannies are the best people.

Beautiful. The horse has such a sweet, gentle face. And super Nan looks thrilled, good on her managing to get up there!

Oh my goodness, this makes my eyes leak and my heart fuzzy tbs are by far the kindest and most loving horses by far, they just know when they have a different rider.

You should send this to ITV racing for their home schooling section - they sometimes include ex racers and I prefer seeing what they're up to in their retirement to the training clips - I think they're quite keen to promote the ex racers what was his racing name?

I'm out of horses now but my god he looks like he'd be my sort if I ever got back into it!

She's a neat little rider!

Horse is just a star.

He’s registered as Silver Melody. He’s out of a mare by Acclamation who was pretty good but he didn’t inherit any love for racing! He really is a total diamond and has a heart of gold.

This woman is amazing. She’s sharp as a needle and still going out to Tanzania for weeks on end on her own to check on the orphanage she runs!

Brilliant idea re ITV racing home schooling. She sounds an amazing lady.

How wonderful Supernan looks perfectly at home in the saddle, the horse just as happy about the change of jockey.

I hope this’ll be me, one day - although it’s doubtful I’ll be astride my current ex-racer. He’s a fairly reliable hack with an occasional nod to his heritage. I’d definitely get another.
