Nick The Greek finished racing in May 2024. He was purchased by his current owner in June 2024 and over the past year 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 hacking around country lanes and farm tracks, learning about life of a riding horse outside of racing. He has been hacked a lot 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 novice rider as he does get confidence from a firm and reassuring rider. He's brilliant with all forms of traffic & farm machinery, including recently standing patiently for a combine harvester!

He's also been out in the trailer to hack at other places 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.

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 which looks as if it could have been caused by wire. This doesn't effect him and he passed his flexion tests in that leg when I purchased him.

He also has a 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.
