One of our favourite rehoming tales has to be Abwab.

Abwab was bought out of Sir Michael Stoute’s yard in 2018, having not raced before. He ran seven times (four times on the flat and three over hurdles) but he simply didn’t want to be a racehorse. If a horse doesn’t want to race we will never force it upon them, and instead will find them a new vocation.

Abwab was rehomed with Jodie Smith and has been a revelation in his new career. He has done dressage and jumping and a little bit of cross country. He has also had a hacking holiday around the North York Moors, which isn’t far from where he was trained.

Following in the hoofprints of his illustrious grandfather, the late Galileo, Abwab has also cantered around Epsom racecourse where Galileo won the 2001 Derby.

In the year that Jodie has owned Abwab they have moved from the north to south and back again and now live near Howden in East Yorkshire.

Jodie says "Abwab is barefoot and doing great! He is such a friendly boy and so many people compliment him".
