Notes
Howsham is a three-year-old bay gelding by Bated Breath. He has raced seven times on the flat but didn't have the speed to be a winner and we made him available for rehoming. Fully ROR qualified, he last raced at Wetherby on 15th June 2026.

Howsham was rehomed out of racing in June 2026 and will be retrained as a showjumper.
