| hi all
i've just joined up to your forum, and have just sent my restration papers for the life after racing club.
i live in Hillcrest (QLD) and I own a beautiful 10year old standy gelding,
i love him to bits
i want to get more involved with other standy lovers and maybe start taking my boy to outings and gymkannas some time down the track, i still have a lot to work on him as i have only started to re-educate him in the last day or so, i bought him off the track as a retired pacer, he has a lovely kind nature but has been miss understood as a horse.
i would like to start riding him eventually but also like to keep him in the sulky. i am wondering if there are any events around that can help encourage me with my standy? |
