The horses come first here at Michael & David Easterby Racing. Whether in or out of training we pledge to provide first class care for any horse for which we are responsible.
The duty of care extends beyond racing and we aim to rehome all of our retired racehorses. We often make our ex-racehorses available for sale and recent years have seen former racehorses go on to thrive in careers including polo, Point-to-Pointing, showjumping, horseball and eventing. In some cases ex-racehorses can be taken on as pets or riding horses.
Please note: If you would like to rehome an ex-racehorse from Mick & David then send a private message via Facebook Messenger setting out the age/gender/size you are looking for and a little bit about your experience of working with thoroughbreds. We have a mailing list and we send round details of horses where they match the criteria set out by those looking to rehome.
The White Rat
5yo bay gelding

Comment:
The White Rat is a smart gelding by Forever Now out of Jaunty Flight who was a winner over jumps. He was bred here and has lived here all of his life.
The White Rat started in Point-to-Points by finishing fourth at Brafield-on-the-Green and has since run twice over hurdles. Sadly he does not have the speed to win a race and we are therefore making him available for rehoming.
A calm and quiet horse, he is a lovely eventing prospect. The White Rat is a very impressive jumper and we think he will become a very high class event horse for a knowledgeable trainer.
The White Rat can be viewed at the yard and is open to independent vetting. Please WhatsApp 07779 659 678 to arrange to come and try him. He is ROR qualified.
Harrington is a very big three-year-old chestnut gelding by Zoffany. He has raced once but doesn't have the speed to win under rules and we are therefore making him available for sale off the track.
Harrington is a gentle giant, standing at 17 hands. He is a brilliant prospect for eventing and has lots of scope.
Harrington has been with us since he was a yearling, being purchased at Tattersalls October Sales in 2022. He was consigned from Ringfort Stud, Ireland.
Please WhatsApp 07779 659 678 or voice call 07831 347 481 to come and view him here at New House Farm.
