Nick The Greek finished racing in May 2024. He was purchased by his current owner in June 2024 and over the past 15 months Nick has been patiently and carefully retrained. He's by no means the finished article but he's well on his way to being a lovely riding horse.
He has mainly been doing flatwork / polework in the school & hacking around country lanes and farm tracks; learning about life of a riding horse outside of racing. He has hacked mainly on his own and is absolutely fine. He's also been out with other horses and can be a little fizzier compared to when on his own - doesn't do anything dangerous just a bit jig joggy. Generally he's great to hack - he can however have a sharp spook so he's not for a complete novice - he is a genuine boy but still young & green. He's brilliant with all forms of traffic & farm machinery, including recently standing patiently for a combine harvester to pass us on a narrow country lane!
He's also been out to other places away from home including the beach. He's brilliant to load and travel.
He's fine to be left alone in his stable while I take my other horse out.
He has impeccable stable manners & is very polite to handle. Good for the farrier. Loves attention & is very affectionate.
I had his back x-rayed when I bought him, for peace of mind, and everything was perfect in that department.
He has some old scaring on his off-hind, vet thought probably caused by wire & from when he was approx a 2 year old. This doesn't affect him in any way.
He has a small sarcoid on his stomach which sits behind where the girth would go and doesn't affect him.
Only selling as I purchased him with the hope of eventing & hunting - however, I feel that he's not a horse suited to that after all & would be happier in a low level hacking / Riding Club / unaffiliated dressage home where he's in his element & comfort zone.
He's up to date with teeth & vacs. Currently shod all fours & in low level work.
He's a lovely boy and I'm open to offers for the right home.
