Stacey has started the Stable to Stirrup programme for retraining and rehoming off the track standardbreds as ridden horses. In the programme the horses are trained for an average of 8 weeks, where they are taught arena work and are hacked out. We aim to expose the horses to as many different situations as possible. 

Stacey is a young mare, rising 3. She would benefit from being given time to grow before continuing her ridden career. Stacey is available for rehoming to someone who has the time to put into her and is looking for a future project to bring on. Stacey has no brand but is microchipped and DNA verified as a standardbred.

Stacey has been started under saddle to get an idea of how she would transition as a ridden horse before rehoming and she is delightful to work with. She happily stands for mounting and has done some basic arena work in walk, and some small amounts of trot.

Stacey has gone on a road ride with company, is great with traffic and took it all in her stride. She happily walks on a loose rein and is also good to lead off another horse.

Easy to have around, easy to handle, worm, float, and for the farrier.  Stacey is good with new surroundings, good with other horses and doesn’t mind dogs. She is very interested in new things.

All horses that are trained through the Stable to Stirrup programme are green and inexperienced and require a confident rider who can continue their education. 

Farrier and worming up to date. Teeth are due to be done.
