And before you all go off on one about the evils of racing - he cost £1 and has come to avoid a bullet! He is not even 4 yet and has been through the hands of two trainers, who have pushed him to his limit and beyond, poor little sausage, and basically he has had anough of racing and thrown in the towel. He looks really immature, goes really close behind and in front. My friend takes on projects and loves retraining TBs, so she is doing the work and I am providing the keep, and hopefully we can give him at least a few months to learn to be a horse again and give him some work he can enjoy. He will be sold to a good home and half the proceeds will go into my rescue fund to help others. As we drove out of the yard with him the trainer said "He is a lucky boy".

Got to be honest Jill, my mind was already trying to figure out how to answer your post, along with the thought.........not Jill, just by reading your title. Piccies of course would be lovely, hope he settles in quickly and like has been said learns to be a horse.
