Welcome Syd!
Meet Sydney, Syd for short.
Syd is Becky's new horse...
a five year old thoroughbred
retired from racing.
Syd has been through a lot recently.
He was gelded last week and
is recovering from a leg injury.
Rest and relaxation and lots of grazing
are a new way of life for Syd.
After this period of rehab as well as putting some
meat on his bones, he should be in great shape
to begin his new life....as an eventing horse
and a fox hunter.
Besides being quite handsome,
Syd is gentle and quiet.
What fun Becky and Syd are going to have...
I can hardly wait to watch the training.
