Horses are nice enough but you have to cook their meat slowly as it can be tough otherwise.

Had to sell my horses when the kids came along. (With hindsight i think i sold the wrong thing, should have sold kids)!! Wink

Used to do a lot of show jumping and a bit of cross country just to give horse something different to think about occasionally.
Will get another one when kids have left home and i can afford it.

has one horse, an irish piebald cob mare.  i do the hacking my daughter does the schooling and shows.  Hence the trooper to tow the box.  Have had the horse now for over 8 years, got her as a 3yr old she is now 11.  She is with me for life.

Ultimate choice

kids, husband or horse

Horse will win every time, far more obedient.  Oh and she dont argue or act childish. lol

I always fancied having a go at flat racing but my Grade C showjumper felt differently!

No not that one.... The one with Gordon Ramsey in. They had one episode where the scary woman with all the teeth went to france, pick a nice horse and had it slaughtered. She then BBQ'd it and encourage horse race attendees to tast it in the UK.

I couldnt do it. If I had to meet and greet my meat , I'd be veggie in a heartbeat.

We've got a pair of rising 3 year old fillies. Ones a new forest type who gets fat at the thought of grass, the other is an palamino anglo arab who is very scatty.

They're not broken yet, so all we do is walk them.

I got an 13ys 16.3 Irsh/Draft TB Mare, use her for Hunting in the Hunt season and Show junping in the summer.  Also the girls have two ponys. 12.2 Dartmoor cross and a Wlsh Sec A.  Hence the reason for buying the Bighorn lol.

Hi Helen

I have 3 horses - 2 ex racehorses - my OH is a national hunt trainer in Scotland and I rehome all our horses out of racing, and for other trainers up here too.

I have a 24 yr old ex chaser/pointer call Rambo (Winter Ramble) and he is a lovely old gentleman.  We've been together 14 years and he is my best pal.  He is fully retired now and just lives the life of luxury in a retirement that he has definately earned bless him.

I have an 8 yr old hooligan called The Count - he was warned off the race track for unruly behaviour at the start and in the paddock so his owners gifted him to me.  We are still in the 'retraining' stages but he is coming along slowly but surely.  Once he has settled I think he will be a super wee man, but he does have an 'edge' to him and some days you just have to say 'not today' and pop him back out in the field  Laughing

I also have Troy - an 18.2h IDxTB who I saw looking very very thin in a field and tracked down the owners and bought him.  He is now a very big and handsome boy and would try and jump the moon for you if you asked him to.  

I run the Scottish & Northern Ex Racers Club with my friend Sandra (she is in Yorkshire) and we arrange shows, racecourse parades and other displays to show that ex racehorses can retrain to do other jobs very successfully.  We have paraded at Musselburgh, Kelso, Pontefract and Doncaster and have loads planned for 2008.

I am not sure that I can post links to the club forum on here so if anyone is interested and live in Scotland or North of England, own an ex racehorse and would like to find out more then just PM me.

Horses is the reason I got the Trooper - to tow my trailer and it does a sterling job at that.

LisaH   Very Happy
