Evron - An ROR story, the retraining of a racehorse Evron raced 27 times. On the 1st Jan 2023, aged 9, he began a new chapter to become a sports horse.

Just saving this on here, as don’t think we will be on the same stats list as some of these top horses ever again 😮
Evron 29th overall at all levels in UK. LOOK who is in first place 😲

Just love him, he’s moved into the top ten of the UKs most consistent BE90 horses. I’ve actually no idea how it works but am very surprised and absolutely delighted to see this. Retraining of Racehorses 🥰
The last time I had a horse in the top ten statistics was about 20 years ago, a horse bred by Ants father (Ron) called Turbo Bill, that was at Novice in the 6 year old age group.

Long day leaving home at 8.30 and home for 10.30 pm. Worth it as 3rd place for Evron at Kellsall Hall Horse Trials, nice surprise when we got home, as we set off home thinking a show jump rail down would mean no prizes, phones had flattened so we had no idea we were placed so well. He gave me such a fabulous ride XC, he loved the track and the ground. 😍 plus Ant was happy as he could see the XC from the lorry.

Derby Day at Wales and West Showground.
Really fun, a devils d**e, banks and water trays and it even had a very high Hickstead Bank, Evron got so excited he just loves to be out competing, he made the time and galloped into 4th place out of 43 starters winning £50.

So the training road to Badminton Grassroots Championships begins. Evron pulled off a lovely test at British Eventing Official Sapey Horse Trials last weekend and finished on his dressage score of 26 into 2nd place, beaten by a horse who has previously finished 3rd at Badminton (that bodes well I thought) , gaining him a qualifying place for next years regional finals.
I have chosen this Autumn to run him at more tricky events with ditches and steps and good water fences to educate and build his confidence ready for the Badminton Championship Cross Country next May.
Still can’t believe we have qualified, I have to keep checking the BE website. 😀

Lovely Evron 3rd place at the British Showjumping national championships in the Retraining of Racehorses bronze final. His first time in this class having won the club final at the show last summer. So pleased with him jumping a double clear, especially as he was so excited I didn’t think he would leave many rails entact 😱😂

Evron you really are the best ever. I’ve dreamt of qualifying for what you did yesterday since I was 12 years old, I’m now 56 and I admit I’ve lowered my goal slightly, but even so you’ve made my childhood dreams come true. Smiles and even some tears ###

A blog from one of Evrons racing yards & Evron even gets a mention. 😍
Lalor was a slightly more famous racehorse than Evron, he’s only just out of racing and is following in Evrons footsteps, is already winning at dressage and has qualified for the RoR National Championships 😀

By Stephanie Jones Lalor is an absolute legend! When I last wrote, he was off for a three-week field break. He came back in from the field looking rather…

My theory on studs & the ex racehorse.
Evron raced 27 times and started his retraining aged 9, he would never have worn studs before.
In his first year eventing we wore studs only in his hind shoes. Last week at Solihull I warmed up for cross country and he was slipping in front, back to the lorry for front studs but this was now making me late for XC so I only put one in each front shoe. He flew round clear inside the time.
BUT for the first time ever he was sore and slightly stiff for a few days after his run.
I believe only having one stud in each front shoe allowed the column of his front legs to twist as he galloped causing mild muscle strain in his shoulders and other muscles. Perhaps if he’s worn studs from a young horse muscle memory would have coped, but as he was a racehorse and not a sports horse this hadn’t happened.

Luckily plenty of stretching exercise had him back in form in a few days and this weekend he’s jumped with 2 studs on each shoe resulting in no after event soreness. 😀

Another fab day The Royal Three Counties Show what a Superb show, with a fantastic atmosphere which is hard to find at the Equine centre based shows nowadays. We had the fun fair near by and plenty of noise from the spectators. I learnt that Evron will need noise mufflers on his ears for any big atmospheric shows in future. He jumped amazing again today 🏆felt back to his utmost best. Thanks to Christine for coming along to help me and for the fab videos.

The Royal Three Counties Show today a rather excitable Evron takes first place 🥇 in the first British Show Jumping class of the day, he was the only double clear in the lovely Cotswold ring, I’ve always wanted to jump in this ring 😀

At last an eventing run in 2024, The Cotswold Cup at Solihull and Evron gains a win first time out again. He’s such a superstar. Love him to pieces for looking after me and feeling so good over everything despite some rather rusty moments from rider 🤦🏽‍♀️

Evron you little star. The roof at Hartpury was creaking loudly as it dried after today’s rain storm, sending Evron slightly dizzy and I had come to terms with last place. Went to see the scores “is that a 63% or a 68%” as I hadnt got my glasses (getting so old i need them to read) with me 🤦🏼‍♀️I had no idea he was leading until I found the live scores and could zoom in 😂

Thank you to Ant and Kate Cowell for all your help and support , all the wonderful sponsors who provided all of these prizes and the amazing team at Hartpury Equine Events for running the qualifiers and the Championships

That’s enough dressage for a while😴, two days is too much, we definitely need some jumping for our next outing. 😀
