Filming at Greatwood

ITV West Today came to see us yesterday and filmed us for a couple of hours.
Rebecca from ITV is running a feature on what happens to racehorses when their racing days are over. We explained that whilst our work is predominantly rescue, we do, from time to time, help those owners that wish to secure the future of their well loved racehorses by sending them to Greatwood.
We invited Dan from Elite Racing Club to talk about New Seeker. Elite Racing Club are exemplary in their care for their retired club racehorses, amply portrayed by their insistence in paying for the recent and expensive operation on New Seeker.
New Seeker remains on box-rest following his operation but he has begun to be walked in hand. Mikey brought him out of his box and New Seeker hurtled off down the aisle like a bullet....well held by Mikey. New Seeker proceeded to try and kick any horse that had the audacity to become too familiar. He is clearly feeling very well and recovering!
Dan and Forgery (Newbury Spring Cup Winner)demonstrated a couple of training exercises, and Hettie, Robbie and Lucie rode Minnie, Pateley and Proprius in the school. Although it was one of those horribly dull and misty days, I think that the little film will be interesting. We will let you know when it is going to be shown.
