Shameless new ex racer post!

[BenvardenRach2]

Just a shameless post really to swoon over my new boy! He’s been with me now for just over 2 weeks. Retired from racing in Aug 2021 and had been enjoying field down time and a tiny bit of hacking with his previous owner.

He’s a big lad out of Galileo, I have heard that his offspring are generally lovely people. Trippy really is the loveliest person. He is an absolute sweet heart, so easy to do, takes everything in his stride and hasn’t put a foot wrong. He’s more horizontal than my little Connie!!

So so chuffed with him, and can’t wait for a future together.

Ex racers are just great aren’t they

Congrats! I rode a horse years ago by Galileo! Massive chestnut thing.

What's his racing name?

 

[Goldenstar]

He’s lovely I wish you a long and happy time with him.

 

[Red-1]

He looks fabulous!

 

[TheSubwayDino]

he's adorable! Have a good time with each other

Love an exracer! And a racer! I also love a Galileo! Genuine wee chaps who try hard to please but with a bright, sunny, cheeky disposition on them.

Really lovely boy. I absolutely love ex-racers. Are you planning on doing any RoR things with him?

haha that made me laugh, oops my fault - I typed that out ina rush and obviously didn’t engage my Brain

Really lovely boy. I absolutely love ex-racers. Are you planning on doing any RoR things with him?

Yes absolutely, I would love to do RoR showing classes + RoR dressage series. The aim is to dabble in a bit of everything with him and see what he enjoys and go with the flow! I’m up for anything !

Thanks so much everyone for your lovely comments. I really do feel so lucky, not only is he a good looking horse he is just so sensible and kind.
I can honestly say he hasn’t put a foot wrong since being with me.
A superstar!

He is just stunning and your post was so lovely to read. Enjoy your adventures with your stunning lad. X

A little update for anyone who’s interested. There isn’t a bad word I can say about him, he has exceeded my expectations in every way and is honestly an angel. Easier, more loving & better breaks than my Connie
We have a low key Intro test planned for the end of the month to see how he copes with a ‘party’ but I am pretty sure like everything else I’ve throw at him he will be a total dude.
So so so chuffed
I have always loved racers and TBs in general but I just don’t know how I could ever own another breed now.
Such a shame that they get a bad rep.
Some recent pics of the handsome chap…

 

[luckyoldme]

He looks so healthy and content, a total credit to you.xc

 

[Errin Paddywack]

He has such a sweet expression, who couldn't love him.

 

[Trouper]

I'm sure he will love getting out to a party!! I'm with you 100% on TBs.

 

[Horseysheepy]

What a sweet horse. Lots of luck for your first outing together!.

 

[J&S]

Going well! Good luck, I am sure he will be magnificent.

 

[Wishfilly]

Good luck with your show! I'm sure you will be great ambassadors for ex-racers!
