The Ultimate Racehorse Experience Day riding one of our horses - including the chance to ride Last Taipan
or
A Dressage lesson on our superb International Eventer - Look Smart or a school horse.

I asked one of our regular riders Lesley to experience a lesson on Look Smart, and here's what she had to say about  it - 

"Wow, the experience of a lifetime!  Look Smart is Holistic Horses best kept secret!  I've often seen him in the stable, but never dreamt that he would be such an amazing ride, and such a gentleman. He was so responsive to the lightest of aids.  I gave the lightest of squeezes with my inside leg and he floated off into the most amazing balanced trot.   I asked him to canter and felt the power in his hindquarters. With a tiny squeeze on my outside rein to half-halt he collected up and I felt like I was launched from a struggling riding club rider to a Grand Prix one including lateral work and shoulder in!  He is a true schoolmaster of the highest level, and I just had the biggest grin on my face the entire lesson.  Thank you.

The Draw will take place on the 1st of the month and you will have a 6 month period in which to claim your prize experience.  The Ultimate Racehorse Experience and Dressage lesson may be on horses owned outside of the syndicate if deemed necessary by the proprietor for safety of horse and rider.

THE HORSES

EVENTER

FROGGIE (LOOK SMART) Froggy is an Advanced eventer who has been placed internationally.  Originally owned by Graham Fletcher as a show-jumper, he was sold to Karen Dixon who evented him to intermediate level before being sold to Jenny Cassan I bought Froggy last year to sell on but I discovered he was far too bright and talented to be ready for a hacking home.  Because of this I dreamed up this syndicate .... I contacted Jenny Cassan who used to own him and she is delighted to be on board for one last campaign .... in 2007.  Having been both a showjumper and eventer Froggy is ideal for the Eventers at Hickstead and this will be his target with Jenny Cassan on board.  You may even get the chance to win a lesson with Jenny on Froggy - check out www.jennycassan.com for more information on our rider.  Jenny Cassan is a former event rider who competed at advanced and international level.  Now show-jumping she has been placed in International Trials and Grand Prix across the UK including the Hickstead Derby.  Jenny is likely to be the only competitor in the Eventers Grand Prix who has International experience in both Showjumping and eventing

HAPPY GALLOPER! Paddy also enjoying a day out hunting.

LAST TAIPAN (PADDY) Paddy is owned by Sooty (who works for me).  He was a very expensive yearling and was trained by Barry Hills but he sustained a knee injury and never made it to the track.  Paddy was not destined to live but Sooty took him under her wing and after many years of careful rest and attention he has grown into a big strong horse.  He has the most wonderful personality and is a great horse to ride.   Paddy really can give the rider a good feel up the gallops and give you the opportunity to ride a really classy horse.  We have decided to keep Paddy here at Holistic Horses for you to really get the Ultimate Racehorse Experience.  We would like to continue to give him the home he deserves and funds are required for this - so every person who joins will be helping secure his future here.  We do not plan to compete Paddy but use him in the syndicate for your enjoyment.

"Have you ever been told an idea is ridiculous?  
I was ... and now I'm inviting you to come and join my dream.  

The horses in this syndicate were bred to compete, and all have the ability to shine. 
Look Smart is in work preparing for some dressage competitions with Lisa.  He is far to bright and not ready to retire and I feel he still has loads to give, so if you fancy being part of a team to get him back on track and have a lots of fun then join in .. . 

To get these horses to their targets is a going to be a challenge, but let's give them their chance to train and hopefully shine in the job they were born to do - it is what they enjoy doing and what makes them come alive ...."

You are going to have great fun being involved in this syndicate - the more members the more funds will be available for hospitality tents at functions etc., and more prizes will be offered.  Any excess money above the requirements for the horses will be put into the syndicate for your fun and entertainment....so get all your friends on board too - the more the merrier!
