Colin did it again! This boy doesn’t like sharing the frame ❤️🥇🔥🩵🐎 Unbelievably proud to be a part of this small, but very efficient team ❤️❤️❤️❤️Well done babbie Colin, you’ve certainly earned your dinner (again) #coloursoncanvas
On Mondays, we jump. Featuring 3 of Best Racings very exciting youngsters: Foinix, Solution, and Arenas del Tiempo. Believe it or not, all three are pretty new to leaving the soil. Very lucky girl indeed, and hopefully I’m not too much of a hinderance in the process! ❤️🐎🔥🥰
“Socially Shady” (Sushi🍣) absolutely stomping home today at Chelmsford City for Best Racing🖤🩷🖤 What an incredible race by our big red resident grump!! 🐎👹🔥 The announcer was right, he truly does love his own company, at home and on the track 🥇💪🐎🕶️🐆 So so proud of this team and unbelievably proud of the ponies 🥹 Well done Sush 👏👏👏👏
Colours on Canvas🎨 (Our babbie Colin) living up to his name ❤️ What a picture he is! What a horse 🐎 My apologies to anyone near me at Plumpton whilst he thundered down the stretch, my voice carries on a quiet day. My cup is very very full. Another ginormous shout out to the best job and best bosses, Jim and Tom, for letting me be a part of the best little team. ❤️🐎🔥💪
Well well well… I don’t think it gets better than this (so far!). What a horse, and on his second ever race! His first run for the Best’s, and his first of many wins. Colours on Canvas sailing home under Harry Reed today with ears pricked ❤️ An absolute pleasure to handle, ride, jump, you name it - he’s as cool as the month of may. What a testimony to Best Racing, seeing him arrive and then develop into something very special. An absolute joy to have been a part of, and a day I won’t be soon to forget. He didn’t just win the race, he also won the beauty pageant thanks to @rwoodywoodman making sure he won in style. Cheers to the Best team 🐎💙🏁 #coloursoncanvas
Just discovered this video of when I decided to take Wells XC 2 weeks after he retired from the track. I was meant to do the silly little bits to get him sold, but got excited at his boldness and started gunning him into scarier things. Wellsy obviously considered a refusal when pointed at his first log, and a sizeable one at that. Please listen to my poor mothers panicked laugh followed by the biggest exhale 😂😂😂 How cute. Always a baby in your mums eyes ❤️ x
“Eventful” brings it home for Best Racing☝️🎉🏇🏻
I’ve always felt so lucky to work for Best racing, and boy did that boil over today! Can’t believe they let me 😂 First race back and what a result from Grandee. I watched from the yard but felt like I was there for every bloody stride. (He gave me a black eye 4 days ago so knew it had to be a good omen.) It doesn’t get better than this ⭐️❤️🥇Thanks to Jim and Tom for letting be a part of it! 🎉

Every horse @silverscreenstud having their morning forage before breakfast. It is so important to me that horses have a decent portion of hay or haylage in the morning before any hard feed is given. Fibre can slow down digestion of starch that is essential to the hind gut *simple guide means that feeding hay or forage before breakfast can stop your horse having insulin spikes or dips* Those insulin spikes can directly and very abruptly upset a horse with metabolic challenges, examples being veteran horses, laminitis prone horses, horses that are prone to colic, horses with ulcers and so on. This a an old debate, and something I’ve only started in the last year. In my opinion, the benefits are endless and help horses rly not gorge their feeds as well. Munchy morning from us ❤️
This is genuinely how happy we are to start our day at @silverscreenstud 🎞🤍🐎Emily will no doubt kill me for this, but it’s worth the smiles it will bring. 🌞
The treating debate! Here is a fantastic exhibition by Oakley, a 5yo TB mare....without shoes on. Oakley explains why it’s very important to not treat horses (outside of your own, at your own risk, although in a bowl would be advisable) Oakley has learnt that treat balls give treats, because anytime she’s exposed to one, it delivers to her demands for them. This morning the ball didn’t have treats, because it was on the shelf in front of her box, and couldn’t meet those very demands that she’s become accustomed too. Alternatively, the ball may have had a few, simply ran out, and before the ball could explain itself, Oakley took no mercy on it. Oakley being dominant of that ball (much like she would learn to be dominant of a person/child who always listens to her demands) decided to assert herself over it. Imagine that was your skull. Horses in herds do not treat each other, or give away their food, much the opposite. Don’t be the next boredom ball.
