Rakero Major (Major)

Infohorse link

Major 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.

Major is available now for rehoming and would be best suited to a hacking home for a confident, quiet rider who can continue his education under saddle. Major will continue to progress through the training programme at Stable to Stirrup and his price will increase with more training.

Major was very relaxed to start under saddle. Walk and trot achieved, has been hacked out alone and in company. When out in company Major likes to follow rather than lead and takes everything in his stride when hacking out alone.

Easy to have around, easy to handle, worm, float, and for the farrier.  Major can be cautious of new surroundings but once he gets to know you and settles, he is fine.

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.

Teeth, farrier, and worming are all up to date.
