If you're thinking about perhaps taking on an ex-racehorse - or have recently succumbed to this lunacy and already have one - and if you're within travelling distance of Marlborough, in Wiltshire, you'll be interested in the lecture-demo being held by Greatwood racehorse rehabilitation centre on Thursday 10th June at 6.30pm.
There will be a riding demonstration by Jamaican event rider Sam Albert ( who has already secured a place for the Hong Kong Olympics). Sam has had great success at bringing on former racehorses into eventing. He has a wealth of experience, advice and handy tips to help ex-racer owners get the best from their horses, whatever riding discipline they want to follow.
Also speaking will be Helen Yeadon, Greatwood's founder, and Dr Sven Kold, of the Willesley Equine Clinic, who is one of the UK's leading equine vets. A nutritionist from Dodson& Horrell will also be on hand to answer questions.
Tickets cost £5, plus 50pence for postage. Places are limited, so best to book beforehand by phoning Greatwood on 01672 514535.
I just wish I lived near enough to go ! Perhaps someone lucky enough to be there can send in a report on how it went ?
