Two weeks ago we rehomed a lovely six-year-old ex-racehorse called Capla Lass, a sensible and kind mare who we knew would make an excellent riding horse. Capla Lass raced twelve times and after a spell in the paddocks we decided to find her a new career. She was retrained here at the yard, with plenty of hacking to get her used to being ridden again. Her performance was faultless. She was totally at ease and had no issues with traffic when hacked out on the road. Capla Lass caught the eye of Laura Jayne who lives near Folkestone in Kent, and after several conversations she decided to take Capla Lass and arranged transport. The horse was collected by transporter Eric Gillie to make the 300 mile journey to the south coast. Now known as 'Cassie', the daughter of Garswood's new home is a sheep farm which also hosts plenty of other equine companions. |

"Cassie is well and truly settled in," says Laura. "We went out for a nice early morning hack today and she was good as gold. I've added a photo of her and her best friend waiting to go out they're joined at the hip". "She's been great, my daughter has even ridden her. This morning when I was tacking up she was so excited then I got on and off she went at a nice forward jolly walk. Now she's turned out munching away with the fat pony." "She's spoilt here. Although my gelding has a love hate relationship with her it's funny watching him battle with it." "She's exactly as described having bought horses before without seeing she was exactly what was listed on the website." |
