ScotNorth Festical of the Ex Racehorse 2008

Held at Thirlestane Horse Trials
Judged by Clive Storey

This was the first Festival of the Ex Racehorse and was a fabulous event - we drew huge crowds to watch and the feedback was great.  So many people are interested in what happens once a racehorse finishes racing and the Festival was a great way to show them that ex racehorses can and do go on to make the most fabulous riding horses, eventers, show horses and hacking horses.
