Hello,

Sorry I know that there are so many of these posts but im really interested to see your before and after photos of your ex racers, and what you do with them etc.

Ive had my mare for 5months now and im really happy with how shes looking at the moment but we still have a long way to go yet.

Thank you in advance!!!

Mine is 5 rising 6 and he is an allrounder that I do a bit everything on including RC and lower level affilliated stuff, trying eventing this year. I love him, hes brill and I hope to go up the levels and have fun doing so.

My mums is 9 and he is mainly a dressage and show horse. He has been placed every time out BD including qualifying for regionals and hes been placed at county level ROR.

Firewell: They are beautiful!! I do love a TB! I have just started introducing my mare to trotting poles, shes only 5. Her weight is so much better already im just working on her neck muscles, top line and bum now! I will post some pictures of her in the spring when her winter coat starts coming out!

Its so interesting to see how they look after there racing days!!

Brilliant, thank you so much for replying!
 
Thats OK :)

Good luck with your girlie, sounds like you are doing really well :). I do think they are such talented, big hearted horses.

I totally agree. In the school M is always soo eager to learn! She is so intelligant and she just loves to please! When I first got her, I was worried because I didnt feel like I was bonding with her. Now I feel ive bonded with her so much! Love her! lol
 
My boy is now 14, I have had him almost 4 years from when he first came out of training. He ran 35 times, but within a month of finishing racing he stood Novice Champion. Its been onwards and upwards from there really! We have won and been placed at county level and been to Hickstead. He also is the best hunter I have ever had, only need one hand on him. We have also done dressage and low level eventing, but he just isn't bold enough across country to do anything at a good level. That said he is the most amazing horse I've ever had, and I am very lucky to have him. I work with his old owner and she can't believe how different he looks! :)

When I got him;
