Such a lovely group of Direct Off The Track horses have just arrived on the website! 🐴

A star on the track - Kheiron, known affectionately as James, is a striking and athletic gelding with presence, power and a big personality to match. A beautiful, ‘typey’ bay/brown, he is the sort of horse that turns heads wherever he goes.
Have a look at James here: https://hrvhero.com.au/news/horses/kheiron-james/

Also stop by and meet these new faces!

GENTLE, HONEST AND READY FOR A FRESH START - THAT'S BLU 💙

Major Blu, or Blu as he’s known to his mates, is a 4-year-old standardbred gelding who had one start on the track but just wasn’t quick enough.

The classic no-fuss type, Blu’s a gentleman to handle, always up for a cuddle and a scratch and easy to catch (even showing glimpses of the speed missing from his racing career if you’re holding a bucket of goodies!)

Blu would suit someone looking for a gentle young horse with a good brain who’s ready for new adventures. A beautiful blank canvas, Blu will thrive with a kind and experienced person who can teach him all the wonderful things that come with life beyond the track.

**REHOMED!**

A lovely little lady has just arrived 🤍💚

Molly is a sweet little mare with a kind and willing attitude.

Standing around 14.3hh with a petite build, Molly did not trial or race but showed a genuine love of her work and being part of the action, taking everything in her stride.

All the foundations are in place with a personality that makes her impossible not to love. With her sweet, trainable nature, Molly is ready to shine in her next chapter and become someone’s much-loved partner and best friend.
