I bought her for £450 for Ascot Bloodstock sales. She is a 16.1hh Irish TB bred for National Hunt. Since buying her in November we have been schooling, hunting, jumping, snoozing, eating, hacking, faling madly in love with her field mate Harry and having loads of FUN !! I always laugh when I read posts titled 'should I buy from the sales' or 'Opinions on Ex Racers' because unless you know that you are buying something that may as well be unbroken you are somewhat deluded and I was as deluded as they come! She is great fun but definitely not for the impatient or inconsistant!! Well done to all those that persevere with their horses

She is beautiful and I love the top photo with the poor old goose. What a bargain, but ex-racers are definitely not for everyone.

What a fantastic looking girl and what a bargain! Love ex-racers

You're absolutely right - perseverance and not a little amount of luck and nerve...

I bought a two year old colt from the ascot sales in november for £800 - we are over the moon with him hes so well handled and quiet! Your mare is lovely, good luck with whatever you do with her.

For someone who admits to being deluded, I think you look happy, neat in the saddle and the horse is a credit to you! I wish you many years of continued fun
