Retraining & Rehoming Off the Track (OTT) Thoroughbreds
Far too many to count - generally 15-25 Thoroughbreds plus 10-15 'residents'
I was a horse-crazy kid in a non-horsey family, & got my first pony at age seven. From there, it was Pony Club, eventing, trackwork, and eventually what I do now.
Starting up EventStars and building it to the level it is now.
Keep doing what we are and maintain some level of sanity!
Hmmmm too many to pick from! Tim & Jonelle Price (in the UK) have two nice up and coming Thoroughbreds by Postponed who came through my yard.
My husband Rod (as he's a great cook as well as sounding board), Nicky Wallace (fellow wine drinker and co-conspirator of Beyond the Barriers, we are always coming up with new ideas and plans!), and then because I'd best not be completely boring - the two laughable chaps who produce Wocket Woy!
Muscle & Shine is my magic product - everyone is on various quantities of it and it never fails to put rapid improvement on a horse, both coat and condition.
My phone (and generally a child or 3!). So then - What is Your Number One Tip for Travelling Horses: Thoroughbreds are generally great travellers, having done plenty of it during their racing career - I have a lot who have flown over from Hong Kong too. I think plenty of fibre is important to keep their gut working properly so mine are always topped up before a long trip, e.g. if I'm sending one on a transporter to the South Island.
I'm inspired by the horses - I love 'unwrapping' each new arrival and finding out what they're going to be good at. I'm also inspired by home time!
A breastplate - I'm terrible at tightening girths and this is often my lifesaver - plus it's a great monkey strap when needed! You'll never see us saddle up a horse without a breastplate of some kind.
