We have been lucky again to find a lovely new home for Get
Back To Me (stable name: Tommy) who has recently been retired at the age of
10. I delivered him a few weeks ago to
his new home near South Molton in Devon. If you are a horse, this is the one place
where you would want to be! Fresh air, no traffic, amazing views and green
fields with lovely hedges for shelter (and for picking at!). My drive down there included several miles of
the smallest single track country lane before we got there. As with Headly it is so nice to find people
who really care about retired racehorses.
Tommy is getting his own, made to measure saddle before he is being
ridden.
We
were pleased, again, that Get Back To Me has been retired sound, has never
fallen and has perfectly clean legs.
Sadly he never produced his considerable potential due to numerous
niggles over the years and never had the chance to prove what he could do. His owner has been brilliant throughout and
very loyal to his horse but it was felt, quite rightly, that it was time to
stop. Tommy will be very pleased that he
can enjoy life without the pressures of being a racehorse. We hope to hear from time to time how he is
getting on. Some pictures below of his
time with us.
