For Sale 🧡
Jake is a 4yo 15.3hh chestnut gelding. He is a lovely young horse who was born here at Higher whiddon. He has been professionally broken in before racing twice. Jake wasn't quite up to speed so we are looking for a new home for him. He has clean legs and no health issues. Jake hacks out alone and in company, crosses water, canters in open spaces, and has good manners. He is still learning to be confident in heavy traffic with large vehicles/machinery but he improves every time he has an opportunity to meet something out. Jake is ROR qualified and would suit a riding club type home. We will be looking for an experienced and confident rider due to his age. All homes will be vetted. For more info or to book in to visit please message Becky on 07891940127.

Mayhem Mya gave Complete Fantasy a lovely lead up the grass gallops today for his first canter training this season. He runs for The Best Kept Secret Syndicate and has completely broken my (Becky posting not Chris) rule of only riding natives under 15hh 🤣💪🏽. He is a very genuine lad and so easy to have around the yard 💜.
There is a small space left in his syndicate with a 20% share remaining. If you are keen to get involved get in touch.

Have horses they said.....it will be fun! 💦🌊 Squeak up to her usual tricks 😆.

The yard apprentices have been very helpful so far this summer 🌧😂. Josh is mastering the gallop in a race saddle. Amelia has been teaching Buttons the 4yo how to canter in open spaces behind Snip. Who needs school???
I may regret saying that in a few weeks time 😂.
Thank you Millie Daniel 😀

With so many young horses in this season I took myself off to improve my falling off skills.

Had a great time and would definitely recommend having a go.

This morning when feeding the ponies breakfast little Pose took herself off to see Tile Tapper and Complete Fantasy. I managed to capture her 'clacking,' it's so fascinating to see natures built-in instincts at work. This her way of telling the boys that she is a baby and that they should not worry about her being a threat to them.

Some of you may have seen that we recently set up a broodmare syndicate. We are offering you the opportunity to breed your own race horse. The Gone To The Bar Syndicate is made up of 10 shares, 9 have already been taken. With a small buy in (3 figures) followed by £85pcm afterwards this could be your very own race horse 🏇🩷💙.
The Last Bar is back from stud Shade Oak Stud where she was covered by Logician. Isn't this scan exciting to see!
The dreams are endless ✨️
We want to make racing accessible to everyone
Future national winner??? 🏆

We have a firm ethos here at Chris Honour Racing which always prioritises our horses, owners and staff. Something we feel resonates through the yard and is often commented on by visitors. But we also put emphasis on our horses and owners/supporters being part of the family which, means involving our children to. We are incredibly proud of Amelia & Josh and being a part of it all has taught them so many life lessons. They have learned how to talk to people. They know how hard you have to work and how that pays off and sometimes not. How to be responsible. They have learned to deal with loss and witnessed our frustration. They have seen us get hurt. We work late 🙈 as many do in our industry and they are forgiving of that. They have seen elation and felt the love amongst it all.
This picture was drawn by Josh for Chris on father's day. He is 7yo and so passionate about racing and his favourite horses and jockeys. Grumpy Charley being top of the list.
Keep racing going 🏇
Keep the next generation involved 💪🏽

Lot 400 from Tattersalls Ireland has arrived with us in Devon. As you can see she has settled in for the evening after a long few days for her. .

Names still up in the air 🤷‍♂️

By Jukebox Jury out of Step On My Soul.

If you take a share in her you can add to the list of what it could be.

I've started with Voice of an Angel 😇👼🐎💨
