Probably should go in NL, but it scares me in there, plus in theory he will be doing competitions!

YM and I have just bought an Ex Racer! He was already at the yard, but his owner needed to sell him, so we clubbed together and now he is ours

He hasn't raced since 2006, was going to be National Hunt horse, but he didn't make it. He is Bright bay, with only a tiny white star, 16.2hh and 9. Very green but has the basics (we have brakes!).

Hopefully he will be a little eventer this time next year. Going to spend the winter doing dressage and maybe the odd bit of jumping, but he has a lovely pop on him, whereas his flatwork is distinctly lacking, so lots of schooling!

I am so excited!

He is called Eric!

Pictures will follow!

Don't worry fans of the Flying Cow, he is still going to be around! He is going to have lots of fun this winter hunting and teaching his little brother how to behave at parties

and will be thankful of a lighter work load next summer!

Off to the yard tonight, so will hopefully get some to post later

He is at Glos, that's where we seemed to have settled!

His posh name is Top of the Agenda, very posh!

I've seen videos of him racing over hurdles, he actually jumps the hurdles rather than going through them like most seem to do!

Can't wait to sit on that gallop!

I know! I can't wait! He is solid bay, not even a white sock! Plus he's that type of bright bay that really shines! He will at least look the part!
