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 :)

He is gorgeous. He is by Galileo!! Not out of!! Just being pedantic!! Hope you have many happy years together. Exracers really are the best!!
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!:cool:

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 :D
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…
