Would anyone like one or know of a suitable home? We are a racing yard. THis horse is not ours and he has 3 different owners who do not have their own place to have him to retire. We already have about 4 retired ones for the winter that weren't ours but have various problems that means we can't rehome them! Lovely 15.3hh dark brown 6 year old 3 time winning flat stallion available after box rest (and he needs 6 months) - injured on his last run, only 50/50 come right to be a ridden horse. Definately never race again, but he does hack out in all traffic like a star and may in time be able to be ridden (lovely manners, very quiet) He is the easiest stallion to look after, travels with mares, turns out every day in a stallion paddock next to others, lovely and kind in the box - maybe someone would like to give him a good home as a potential show stallion? He is a lovely straight mover, very elegant, gorgeous head with curly ears. His temperament is a huge asset. If you know of anyone who may help please message back asap. More photos on request.
P.S He has damaged a medial suspensory branch.

It says above that he is available after box rest. Poor boy, I hope you find him a home to go to!

I guess if he didn't come sound he would have no job if he was gelded, but.........if he is so well bred with such a fab temperament, at least he has a use as a stallion - not promoting breeding more horses / ponies on the planet, but just thinking of this particular horse! Before everyone jumps down my throat!!!

Thank you for the enquiries - Sherman has now found a wonderful home in Newmarket as a competition/show stallion. Watch this space!
