#thoroughbred owner breeder

[too-many0-0fandoms]

Hello! :)

This is a production of two of my special instrest suddenly getting a common ground in the weird place that is called my mind. So this is;

F1 Drivers as Horse (breeds) (Part 1)

(This is all my own interpretion, please be kind :) It's just for fun)

Max Verstappen

A horse that comes from a troubled background, now with owners that take proper care of him and one of the most successful show jumpers ever :) that’s what I imagine when I think about Max as a horse. And then a KWPN most likely :)

Charles Leclerc

The definition of the ‘different’ horse. Warmblood beauty that everyone in your barn wants with the most unusual coat ever. Comes from one of the best breeders, etc, etc, etc. A lot of warmblood breeds are the same, so pick whatever you like. Likely to compete in eventing, which is dressage, show jumping and cross country because I imagine he looks beautiful but loves hard and tough work.

Lewis Hamilton

Successful racing horse. English Thoroughbred. One of the best racing horses to have ever raced. Close to the likes of Seabiscuit and the others.

Daniel Ricciardo

Our loveable goofball. I know that personality changes per horse, but I just imagine him as a cheery, rescued Brumby horse from the depths of Australia that just loves life and thinks everything is a game but also loves to learn new things.

Nico Hulkenberg

Okay, this is a bit of a stretch~ Butttttt, recently I’ve been seeing some Friesian x Missouri (Fox) Trotter crosses and that’s all I can think about when I think about Nico as a horse :) Definitely a cheeky little bugger that loves to work and play!

Valtteri Bottas

A small, chubby, calm pony/horse with the fullest mane ever that is the fattest in the trotting categories! I imagine a Finnish Horse- Trotter type :)

Logan Sargeant

WTF IS A KILOMETRE> no but seriously, America has a lot of gorgeous breeds and for Logan I imagine an Appaloosa, because they are hard working and honest horses and I just can’t picture him as an quarter :0

Lando Norris

For Lando I imagine this gorgeous, bit smaller yet elegant pony that trots through the arena with pricked ears and a raised tail. Y’know, a bit younger as well, just getting into actual work and just loving it. It just happens that the Welsh Pony – Section B is also from England!

Fernando Alonso

An old hand in the trade. A gorgeous Andalusian/PRE stallion with the longest mane that’s like 17 years old and still competing at top levels with various riders :)

Pierre Gasly & Esteban Ocon

Sorry I had to do these two together because I just had this vivid image of two lovely Norman Cob stallions that are like half-brothers and grew up at the same estate and ended up becoming each other biggest competitors both in competition and in terms of breeding >.<

[stellaequedits]

“An 18 year old gelding, who was bought from an auction. His old owners sold him because they found him unsuitable for their children, this boy?

He didn’t even have a name, he was just a number at the auction, we named him Charlie, he is just the sweetest. It is obvious that he never had a proper training, 18 and green, no wonder he couldn’t find a permanent home.

Tracing owner to owner, it was impossible to find any useful information about him. Finally after months we found his first owner who was also his breeder. A middle aged man living with his family on a big farm but no horses in sight.

He and his family welcomed us warmly when he heard about Charlie. He admitted having horses in this farm decades ago, turns out this farm was a thoroughbred farm, they would breed racers here. But 12 years ago due to financial issues they had to sell all the horses and turn the farm into a dairy farm for more profit. After chatting for a while we asked him about our boy Charlie. Of course he did not remember him, but after showing his photo, his eyes shined and said the name ‘Bolt Shade’. He was a colt who was born here, after his mother’s unexpected death, this gentleman took care of him.

Turns out Bolt Shade was a successful colt when he was training, due to his willingness to run, the farm decided to sell him to a rich owner who took him to another state, despite moving far away his caretaker did not want to leave him. He often contacted his new owner to learn about his well being.

After months, the man got a call from Bolt’s new owner, he learned that tomorrow he would run his first race, the next day he was there waiting for Bolt Shade to show up, when he saw him he took a picture with his old camera.

Bolt Shade finished the race at the 4th place, despite new owner’s high hopes, Bolt was not a very successful racer. Bolt got sold and the man never heard about him until today.

The kind gentleman gave us the photo he took years ago, where Charlie was a young colt going to his first race. We thanked him and his family ad left, he promised us to visit us and see Charlie a.k.a Bolt Shade.

Charlie now has a permanent home and being trained properly to be a trail horse where he doesn’t need to worry about anything and just enjoy life.”

The House of Windsor effect

Horse & Hound | Published 10 June 2021

FROM early childhood our Queen was a horse-lover, but no one could have foreseen the immense contribution she would make to all our riding sports.

Everyone who shares The Queen’s passion for horses is in her debt, none more so than my generation, who were brought up during the deprivations of World War II. It was by no means guaranteed that equestrianism in Britain would blossom in the early post-war years of economic austerity. The lead given by the royal family was a crucial factor in the huge growth of riding as a widely popular sport.

We saw Princess Elizabeth, a stylish figure, as a consummate horsewoman in public, when she appeared riding side-saddle in a dark blue habit, at the 1947 Trooping the Colour ceremony, the first since the war. It was an annual duty she has fulfilled ever since, arriving by horse-drawn carriage from 1987. There was always an element of risk in this parade, emphasised in 1981 when a youth fired blank shots near The Queen, who rode on coolly on her horse Burmese, a black mare who carried her for 17 consecutive years on ceremonial parades.

Her marriage in 1947 to the Duke of Edinburgh brought to the nation a level of glamour and excitement which defeated the greyness of that time. Princess Elizabeth received a filly, Astrakhan, as a wedding present from the Aga Khan, and soon registered her own colours: scarlet, purple hooped sleeves, black cap.

Since her teens, the heir to the throne shared the close interest of her father, King George VI, in thoroughbred breeding and racing, but the wider horse world would also benefit from the future Queen’s patronage. Nearly every major equestrian activity would involve at least one member of The Queen’s close family as breeder, owner, or competitor.

DURING conversations over lunch at Sandown Park before the Horse & Hound Grand Military Gold Cup, of which she was patron, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother recalled to me something of the late King George’s passion for riding and hunting: “They were such happy, carefree days,” she said with a glowing smile.

Our Queen inherited her love of horses and country life from both her parents. As well as a recreation, equestrianism is an important royal tradition, going back to the monarchy’s reliance on horsepower in ceremony and war.

The future King George VI won a pre-war reputation as the most polished horseman of the royal brothers, on the polo ground and in the hunting field. As Duke of York he took a hunting box with his family at Naseby in the Pytchley country for several seasons in the 1930s. In 1931 Princess Elizabeth, aged five, rode a pony to see the Pytchley’s huntsman, Frank Freeman, hunting hounds for the last time. As Freeman’s fox went away from covert the Princess was watching on her pony nearby, held by a groom standing next to the Queen Mother. The scene was captured in a painting by the artist Lionel Edwards.

Princess Elizabeth started riding lessons that year with Henry Owen, groom at White Lodge, Richmond Park, and in 1938 she received more training as a rider from Horace Smith who had a yard at Holyport, Berkshire. His daughter Sybil later gave Prince Charles and Princess Anne their first riding lessons.

Princess Anne remembered later: We were both on a leading rein, and we were towed around a cinder ring, never faster than a trot… I thought it was a most grisly waste of time.”

During the height of the war, in 1943, Princess Elizabeth and her sister Princess Margaret appeared at a local show in aid of Windsor Wings for Victory Week. It was so relaxed that a runaway lurcher stole a chicken from the caterer’s tent, and sat chewing it under the King’s chair.

Princess Elizabeth proved she could drive as well as ride. With her sister as passenger, she competed in the single private driving turnout class with a Norwegian pony called Hans. The future Queen won the cup, and Princess Margaret drove a Fell pony, Windsor Gypsy, to win a trophy in the utility driving class.

The wartime fixture was the forerunner of the magnificent annual Royal Windsor Horse Show, and an example of the thread of continuity in The Queen’s interest in horses.

Racing provided an excellent opportunity to learn horsemanship through watching her father’s horses in training. Although Flat racing was to be The Queen’s main interest, her first victory was in a steeplechase at a Fontwell Park National Hunt meeting where her new colours were carried to victory by Monaveen, jointly owned with the Queen Mother, and trained by Peter Cazalet.

The Queen supported her mother’s involvement in National Hunt, sharing her triumphs and disappointments, the worst being her runner Devon Loch’s collapse when in the lead of the 1956 Grand National.

I have never seen The Queen happier on a racecourse than when she presented the 1986 Horse & Hound Grand Military Gold Cup to the Queen Mother after the third victory of her horse Special Cargo, well ridden by Gerald Oxley, despite a broken stirrup.

It is part of racing legend that on the morning of her coronation in 1953 The Queen was asked beforehand by a lady-in-waiting if all was well, and replied: “Oh yes, the Captain has rung to say Aureole is really well.”

Four days later, her colt Aureole, ridden by Harry Carr and trained by Captain Sir Cecil Boyd Rochfort, was beaten into second place in the Derby by Pinza. Since then The Queen’s horses have won the other Classics, but a Derby victory is still wanting.

With Lord Porchester as her general racing manager, and Sir Michael Oswald in charge of the bloodstock breeding side, The Queen’s involvement in thoroughbred breeding was intensified. She has a profound knowledge of thoroughbred pedigrees, and her expertise extends far more widely: she has successfully bred polo ponies for Prince Charles, eventers for Princess Anne, carriage horses for Prince Philip, plus Highland, Fell and Haflinger ponies, Arab horses…even a project to produce drum horses for the Household Cavalry.

THE Queen was a keen horsey mother, too. She is in the unique position of being the mother of a European eventing champion in Princess Anne, and grandmother to a European and world eventing champion in Zara Tindall.

Princess Anne’s heavy fall with her horse Goodwill in the 1976 Montreal Olympics three-day event was no laughing matter. The Queen and Prince Philip were present, and I remember them racing round to see if she was all right. The Princess was pretty much unconscious, but remounted and completed the course for the sake of the British team. It was a brave effort because she said afterwards she could remember nothing more of the ride.

We are used to seeing The Queen as a nonagenarian riding sedate horses on exercise in Windsor Great Park, but I recall her as a young woman galloping with great zest on Ascot racecourse. She made these excursions with relatives and friends in her Windsor Castle house party on the mornings before racing. As a press correspondent I reported a hazardous occasion when the royal party galloped under the taut wires of the old-style starting “tapes”. The Queen only just ducked her head in time to avoid what could have been a dreadful fall.

As an experienced, natural horsewoman, The Queen is well aware of the risks, but she has persisted in riding hatless on her private hacks. It was not the custom to wear protective headgear, nor was it readily available, during The Queen’s early life, and her unwillingness to abandon this practice has been respected as a royal prerogative in a long life in which private riding has been such a valuable respite from her demanding public schedule.

When the Prince took up steeplechasing, I recall The Queen admitting to feeling “very nervous” before the 1981 Horse & Hound Grand Military Gold Cup at Sandown Park. Prince Charles was riding his new horse Good Prospect in the race, falling at the 18th fence.

The Queen said very little, but there was a palpable sense of relief in the royal box when Charles regained his feet. The Prince’s determination was demonstrated when he rode the same horse the following week in the Kim Muir race at Cheltenham, and survived another fall. He had several wins in lesser chases, and was a bold rider in team chasing.

WHEN The Queen and Prince Philip visited our company’s range of magazines in 1978, then produced at King’s Reach Tower in Stamford Street, next to the Thames, Horse & Hound’s editorial office was the first port of call. In those days, the magazine was published on Fridays, and a royal carriage would come to the offices on Thursday to collect three copies for Buckingham Palace. Unfortunately the antis picked up on this, and Special Branch discovered that they were planning to kidnap the horse and carriage, so we quietly switched to couriering the copies by car.

Around that time, I was mortified by what I call “Horse & Hound’s greatest mistake”. I was invited to tea at Windsor Great Park for a polo cup we sponsored, and she asked me what had happened that week in H&H.

She was referring to a picture we had printed of her riding in a parade, but someone in the production team had inadvertently reversed the picture so her legs were on the wrong side of the horse. I was furious despite not receiving a single letter of complaint, but of course The Queen had noticed. I sent her the original, correct, proof in a frame and she was very good about it.

The Queen’s concern for horse welfare has been another major element in her equestrian life. As patron of the British Horse Society The Queen takes considerable interest in its welfare activities.

Welfare was an element in her decision to invite the innovative American trainer Monty Roberts to display his method of introducing unbroken horses to being saddled and ridden in one session. I was among guests invited to Windsor Castle for this demonstration, where The Queen told me she thought his methods were “marvellous”.

“I have seen an awful lot of ropes and straps being used in the old methods of breaking in a horse,” she said – and some home-bred royal horses were later “entered” to riding by Monty.

Apart from a great deal of fun, what else has horsemanship conferred upon the royals? Prince Philip pointed out the character-forming benefits of riding, as originally expressed by the Elizabethan dramatist Ben Jonson: “Princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer. He will throw a prince as soon as his groom.”

The “great leveller” was Prince Philip’s perceptive description of the horse. He wrote in an article for Horse & Hound’s 27 May 1977 issue, celebrating the Silver Jubilee: “Having a family which seems to be equally willing to be humiliated by the horse, I have to live with the expectation that they too will suffer injury and indignity.

“The only advantage of the personal experience of this sort of thing is that I am not surprised when it happens to them, and I am full of sympathy and useful advice for treatment and recovery.”

Prince Philip continued to drive a carriage well into his late nineties. Our Queen is still riding as a recreation – long may she continue to do so.

Breeding Spotlight: Leigh-ping Forward with OTTBs

Jeff Goodwin and Exactleigh compete at Galway Downs’ Eventing Championships in 2023. Photo by Sherry Stewart.

Taking a glance at any entry list these days, there are quite a few prefixes and suffixes that we have come to know. The ever popular Irish Cooley, Ardeo, and Fernhill, the Belgian Zangersheide Z, the up-and-coming FE, Excel, HSH and Global, and even the Argentinian Solaguayre is on the rise. One could be forgiven for missing a lone “Leigh” here and there.

But not anymore.

In the 2023 edition of the annual Event at Rebecca Farm (Kalispell, MT) — one of the top destination events on the West Coast — there were more “Leigh” horses than any other breeder, trainer, or seller. There were 14 Cooley horses, 10 Fernhill, 7 Ardeo, 6 Z, 4 Excel, 3 FE, and 1 Global.

Squeaking past them all, “Leigh” horses had 15 representatives, from CCI3*-L all the way to Beginner Novice.

Humor abounds in the names of these salwart partners: Pridefulleigh, Mixologeigh, Bankseigh, My Leighona, Casualleigh, Agatha Christeigh, and my personal favorite: Drunk & Disorderleigh.

Where do they come from?

Jil Walton operates JARBA Farms out of Rebecca Farm in Kailspell, MT where she breeds and trains her own homebreds and off the track thoroughbreds. A representative of the 1992 US Olympic Eventing team, she helped USA to a top 10 finish and finished 17th individually as the highest placed American on a self made mare called Patrona.

Embed from Getty Images

Patrona herself was an off-the-tracker who Jil, in partnership with her parents, sourced in Southern California where she grew up. Walton calls her “the beginning of it all.”

“My dad, my mom, and I would pick the ones that didn’t run and turn them into event horses and event them so I’ve been doing that my whole life,” Jil said. “Then I met one of my clients, Leigh Gray. [She] brought a horse to me to event for her [while] she worked at a vet hospital and had access to lots of Thoroughbreds. So [we] started developing a relationship with trainers, and good owners, that wanted them to go on to do something other than just sit in the field.”

Most of the horses carrying the “Leigh” in their name are former racers sourced by Jil herself, and her friend Gray. But it didn’t begin that way.

Among the horses Leigh sent to Jil to be retrained and homed was Truly Triton. A 1992 chestnut gelding out of Coastal Breeze and With Approval, it began as a rehabbing project when he came to Walton with a tendon injury. Over time however, the partnership competed to the highest levels, completing the Kentucky Three-Day Event in 2004 and multiple top 10 finishes at the 4* level. As success came not only to Jil but with the horses Leigh was helping source, Jil felt a touch of inspiration.

“I decided I needed to give Leigh a little bit of credit,” she explains. “So then we started putting the Leigh on the end. I mean, it just kind of caught fire because there’s so many possibilities.”

The name options are pretty excellent (see above!). Indeed, Jil often gets messages with suggestions for Leigh names for future horses down the line.

She credits Leigh with an incredible eye for temperament and her own eye for confirmation, gleaned at her parents’ knees and her own 30+ years of experience. For soundness, she feels nothing can beat a good war horse — Thoroughbreds who have run for many years. Together, she and Leigh work in tandem to not only source successful sport horses but also to find the horse’s own passion.

“I tried to be responsible to the racehorses,” Jil says. “Some of them don’t want to jump. They don’t want to go eventing so we have one barrel racing, we have a couple that are ski-jouring.”

While Jil also breeds some of her own prospects (with the prefix JB for JARBA), her heart is firmly with the Thoroughbreds. The feeling of riding cross country on a horse with a high foundational level of fitness and forward training from their racing careers instills confidence and security. And she feels there is cause to be optimistic for the future of OTTBs in eventing.

“Before I felt like it was an uphill battle, 100%,” she says. “Thoroughbreds are getting so much more attention with the Thoroughbred Makeover and all of that. So I feel like people are more open to them now, which, for a long time, they haven’t been — so that’s rewarding to me.”

Leigh is winding down the non-profit that helped source these fine partners — the Thoroughbred Rehab Center — so there may not be a whole lot more “Leigh” horses coming through the pipeline. Jil herself is still trucking on with her part, having formed new connections and contacts in the racing industry to help retrain and rehome those horses who no longer can or want to race.

In an increasingly global sport where more and more often we see both professional and amateur members sourcing horses from outside our borders, we are seeing less and less of our own American Thoroughbred. While there is nothing wrong with finding quality wherever it may be, by casting a spotlight on our American professionals and trainers, our domestically bred horses can shine as well.

So next time you see that humor filled “Leigh” name, have a chuckle to yourself and maybe, just maybe, find your local OTTB trainer and see if you can find your next partner close to home.

Drop us a line if you know of another deserving barn, breeder, or trainer we can shine a light on!

Jemesbondracing: Horse Racing Trainer Moves and How To Use Them Best

Utilizing a horse racing trainer to find great wagers is definitely not another point. Individuals have been involved in this crippling procedure for quite a long time. It has gotten more press over the most recent decade, notwithstanding, and presently awesome past exhibitions normally list critical coach points. The issue with that, obviously, is that since they are accessible to general society, they have lost a ton of significant worth as a disabling guide.

When something becomes public information it is generally over-bet, like the breakdown of speed figures as a method for getting an edge on the wagering public. Notwithstanding, assuming that you're willing to contradict some common norms and be somewhat of an antagonist you might in any case utilize those coach moves to see as a decent wagered, indeed, even the ones that are recorded in the past exhibitions.

The most sensible point is to wager those mentor moves that have the most noteworthy success rate and furthermore show a positive profit from speculation (return for money invested). Rationale and bringing in cash at the horse races, nonetheless, don't necessarily concur. It is smarter to make a stride back from the group and head down your own path. For example, when you see a mentor move with a low rate and that isn't productive what do you figure the group will do with that data?

Many will take a gander at the rate and negative return on initial capital investment and cruise it by. Why play a move that is unfruitful? Assuming you have some tolerance and follow that coach you might find that the individual continues to take that action and ultimately it will pay off in light of the fact that individuals as of now are not bet on it.

You can either risk everything and the kitchen sink moves that have a pessimistic return on initial capital investment in exotics or watch the chances and contrast them with the genuine success rate and conclude that regardless of the way that they've generally been unfortunately wagered they are improving for the very reason that individuals have eased off them. For example, assuming a move has a 20% success rate and the pony is better than 4-1, that is a beneficial wagered for however long there are no enormous thumps against the pony.

Dig further and look around and contrast the chances with the genuine success rate. Do not simply acknowledge that a negative return on initial capital investment is cast in stone. Allow the group to bounce on that move that is as far as anyone knows positive and let them figure out that it is as of now not productive. One thing a decent handicapper before long learns is that things don't remain something very similar and you need to recognize a pattern as it is starting, not after it becomes public information.

Some of the precious silverware displayed during the Sportsbet Dream Chasers Festival “The Sportsbet Dream Chasers Festival will showcase an unparalleled racing and entertainment experience,” said Ling. “People attending any of the festival’s five nights will be treated to superb entertainment and hospitality both on and off the track and an experience to remember which we anticipate will inspire both existing fans and brand-new fans to enjoy Greyhound racing at its best. “Dream Chasers is all about the fun, the excitement of the chase, and being right on the track to watch our top dogs, trainers, owners and breeders fulfill their dreams of racing on the biggest stage at the world’s most lucrative greyhound racing festival.” GRV has enhanced coverage of the Sportsbet Dream Chasers Festival by securing a partnership with Racing.com to broadcast five Saturday nights of greyhound racing on the dedicated thoroughbred racing channel. “We are proud to be able to show all the action live with free high-quality TV for the first time on racing.com for those unable to get it on the right track,” he added. A number of former sporting champions were in attendance at kick-off on Monday morning, including greyhounds from the likes of Fernando Bell, Aston Robbie, Mukhlisi and last year’s Melbourne Cup winner Koblenz.

Influential sires: Dutch Warmbloods

4/ ∞

Warmbloods didn’t always use to be the fancy sports horses they are today, a strong influence in their current dominance is the outcrossing to Thoroughbreds. One of such Thoroughbreds that was used to create the ultimate sport horse was the good-looking gray Abgar xx (Abernant xx x Roc du Diable xx). Born in France in 1958, Abgar didn’t prove to be as successful on the track as they would’ve hoped. As a four-year-old however, he did win 8 of his 10 starts in the steeplechase. 

A few years later, in 1964, Abgar xx was purchased and brought to the Netherlands by a man intending to use him to breed Thoroughbreds. In 1967 his offspring appeared on the track. They were not as successful as his owner hoped, partially due to having a difficult personality to work with. As a result, he was sold to a Mr. Vorspaget. Vorspaget was to use him on his Thoroughbred mares, but again his offspring didn’t succeed in impressing him. Still wanting to use the stallion, Vorspaget bred him to a few of his warmblood mares. The halfblood offspring all had strong hindquarters and were of good quality. Vorspaget would only use Abgar on his own mares and those of his friends. 

Abgar had the attention of the other warmblood breeders in the country, and after some time Vorspaget finally decided to allow him to be bred to other mares, but only those he selected and if the breeders agreed to send their foals to the offspring inspection to have Abgar approved for the KWPN studbook. This proved to be a success. Abgar would not only bring good jumpers, but several good dressage horses as well. Today you will still find him in many pedigrees of successful sporthorses in both disciplines, perhaps even cross country.

Hi! I hope your day is going well :) I was wondering whether you'd be able to make a couple equestrian otp prompts?

Yes, of course! I adore horses and equestrian sports, so this is my specialty >:D It's been a minute since I've watched anything related to it, though, so I may misuse or forget some terms. Please correct me if I do!

Person A meets Person B after they're in the hospital for similar horse-related injuries, and they do not stop running into each other after that day. Even better if they ride for the same stable (or- opposite stables. Add that enemies to lovers factor).

Person A goes on and on about how their prized, purebred, thoroughbred gelding is so much better at competing than Person B's horse [of your choice]. Person B challenges them, as they get tired of their cockiness. The outcome is up to you.

Person A and Person B grew up taking horseback riding lessons at the same stable, and they meet up again when they're older to see both of them have become competitive equestrians. Whether they ride for the same stable is up to you.

Person A is a new, up-and-coming equestrian that everyone is talking about. Person B is their loving partner who knows very little about horses and the equestrian life as a whole, but they support their partner regardless.

Person A needs a new horse after their old one is retired, so they scan ads and auctions and websites galore. Once they find a breeder, they arrange an in-person meeting to meet some of the studs and broodmares. However, they can't seem to keep their eyes off of the shy stablehand [or the owner, your choice].

Person A is injured during an equestrian-related accident, so Person B helps them through recovery. What if Person A is scared of horses after the injury, and Person B has to help them ease their fear?

Person A meets Person B because A's horse's showname is an obscure reference, so they become best friends (and perhaps, lovers).

Person A knows nothing about being an equestrian, but they decide to get into it because of their crush in Person B. Cue many awkward moments and mistakes that Person B is more than happy to resolve.

Person A using their horse or show routine to people to Person B. Bonus points if Person B is really shy about PDA or anything romantic/affectionate.
