It's always a bittersweet moment when we retire our racehorses.
However, the sadness of saying goodbye is tempered with the joy of seeingthem retire from the track sound and healthy and ready for a new start.
Two of our favourite horses were retired in 2025 and both of them have found wonderful retirement homes.
Copper Mountain had lived here all of her life, havign been bred by owner/breeder Brian Padgett. She latterly raced for the Laura Mason Syndicate and won five races from 44 starts before being retired.
Copper Mountain was rehomed to Anne Johnston in Essex. Coincidentally she is just a stone's throw from Chelmsford Racecourse, where she won one race from one visit and had a 100% record. She often hacks past the track with Anne and has a good look through the gates, but she doesn't show any desire to venture inside. Copper has a new friend called Dibley, a giant chestnut gelding, but Anne assures us that it's Copper who is in charge.
