Hi first time user and very new to forums have no idea how they work....heres hoping I get it right!
Just got my first Standie.....Rescue horses so might need some help from other owners.
Told he is 5yrs (not sure how to read there brands), 15.2hh, retired from racing 10 weeks ago, was left in a yard with just water and occassional bits thrown to him hence underweight now, very quiet, did trot and canter in roundyard.
Any suggestions most welcome.
Thank you

hey! welcome to the forum, i'm new aswell.
just thought i'd help you with trying to identify your new four legged friend,
if you jump onto http://www.spphav.org/articles/freeze.html
than once you have figured out numbers,
go to www.harness.org.au and press on the search column and scroll down to "horse search"
type in the horses brand numbers in (both top and bottom brands) eg S3981396
it will show you the horse's race name, breeding and race record.
hope this helps you with.
cheers

Daretodream and congrats on your new horse.We have almost forgotten how strange a thing it is that so huge and powerful and intelligent an animal as a horse should allow another, and far more feeble animal to ride upon it's back.
