OK, find me an ex racer

[ycbm]

Please, please, please no questions about Ludo. It's a nightmare. It's not going to end well. It's breaking my heart. It hurts so much I can hardly bear it. I will not discuss him.

I need a new horse to ride, it's in my blood, it's a drug, I just can't live without it. I love TBs and TB types. I know full well how fragile they are. I have a decent budget available, but it doesn't guarantee soundness, so my current aim is £4k or less.

I'm looking for a TB, unbacked/very green or ex racer, 15.2 or bigger, age 12 max, prefer a 3 or 4 year old, straight out of training would be ideal. I love the retraining process. 2 hours max from Manchester.

Off you go folks, I'll look forward to rejecting the 14 hand cobs in Suffolk you suggest ,

Go further.... speak to Elf, they very recently had 2 nice sorts to go. You might find there are others getting ready to move on from there too.
Good luck x

I have a lovely unraced TB but unfortunately i am in south cornwall!

 

[ycbm]

Just to add that I'm happy to take a rehab as long the injury was caused by an activity that I'm unlikely to be repeating, like racing or race training.

If your budget was right I have been known to buy unseen ......

This girl is really good for finding horses straight outa training or unbacked

Questioning your sanity, but standing by because I love a good horse search thread




*I question all horsey people's sanity, tbh.

I have a friend I could put you in touch with - not sure what he is getting in, but he has ex-racers regularly and is decent and honest.

eta: just seen the distance stipulation - he's in Surrey. Sorry.

 

[EllieBeast]

Ok, so it’s Suffolk… but have you considered contacting Darley/godolphin rehoming? https://www.godolphinlifetimecare.com/godolphin-rehoming-programme

You are SO right to do so!

[MereChristmas]

Not saying that I wouldn't be doing something similar!

So many reasons not to. So many ways it could go wrong. So many reasons why it's a bad idea. Along comes a horse person...

Try Jimmy Frost, he often gets youngsters that don't quite make the grade.

Spot on for type, size etc but I've had a bad run with dark bays over the years and I'm wary of another. No good horse is a bad colour, but I'd love a bright bay.

 

[Identityincrisis]

Phillip Kirby are based in the North East and have a rehoming policy, their horses are well loved and cared for

 

[toppedoff]

Just posted to my racing friends, I'll pm you if anything comes up

Lucinda Russell racing has just advertised a beautiful chestnut mare with 4 white socks!! Not sure where she is and a bit over budget.
