Polly's Progress; Racehorse to Riding Horse. Part 1; New Beginnings

Meet Polly, AKA Pockette Road! She is a 5yo Thoroughbred who last raced about 3 months ago, and has had some initial retraining with young event rider, Alfie Marshall. Our daughter, Rosie, has bought Polly with the aim of doing some local Pony Club and NSEA events next year.
We will be following their progress together, and in Part 1; New Beginnings, I give some tips about what to look for when you buy an ex-racehorse and what to do when you first get them home. We also take some great nutrition and feeding advice from Abi from Saracen Horse Feeds.
Don't forget, membership to Your Horsemanship gives so much support to anyone embarking on a new partnership with a horse, including those off the track.
