There's actually 4 horses in the paddock between the hill, both the camera and I were being blinded by the morning sun to see properly, but when I first looked up the four horses were walking along the top of the hill with their breath visible in single file, it was a lovely sight!

By the time I feed the horses and got my phone, 2 had called it a day and started eating and the sun made it a challenge to see any of them at all 😆

Still nice to see them in their daily element🤗

The 2 ahead is

Fleet (by Redwood)

The second pair you see as I zoom away is
Charlie (by Tavistock)
Karios ( by Time Test)

And finally in the spelling paddock who i was actually their to feed is

Dan (by Brilliance) hes rising 19years now! And stayed on with us after he retired from racing as the best babysitter❤️
he's a very kind chap

Currently he's Uncle to

After ride time for horse and rider where we wait on the next truck to arrive.
It's a chance to have their apple, to roll in the sand, to have a scratch with their rider ( or another horse) or simply chill and watch the scenery

However they choose to spend their time( or if the do all of the options😆) its a nice part of the day for both horses and riders

Its also nice to watch 🥰

A lovely piece done by 7 Sharp lastnight about horses enjoying life as a racehorse on Karioitahi Beach🥰

How could I NOT share a how (famous) Toby ( by The Bold One) spent his morning at the beach today 🤗❤️

51 seconds of our fav guy and Jockey Ace as they top of a beautiful scene at the beach with the surf in the background and sunlight (finially) just reaching us

He was the star on 7 Sharp tonight!
What a pleasure Micheal and Dave's company is on an incredibly cold morning watching horses on the beach!
A big thanks to them for coming all the way out (very)early and for finding just a nice story to enjoy of horses working along the beach🤗

Most trainers are interviewed for their most famous horse for winning lots of races!

Toby is interviewed for not having won a race (yet)😆 but when your a top guy like Toby you can still have a long and happy career doing what you love❤️ so why not

The thing is, he loves his life at Isola, he loves his work, his box, paddock, all the variety of food and having everyone well versed in Toby's routine, wants and needs and how do to things

Hes always a pleasure to hang out with, do anything with and ride

Hes given many their first ride on a race horse. Or their first gallop or their safest ride on a crazy beach morning

Hes helped new apprentices achieve their goal of getting their Jockey license
Or having their first start on race day start!

He has had many senior jockeys ride him who all get off and say the same thing

1, I thought we were going to win at the 200 mark
2, he'll certainly win a race
3, Id love to ride him again hes such a dude

Its also worth saying that Toby never runs a bad race either! he usually weighs in, is always consistent and hes a clean winded and sound fellow who goes about his racing life in an incredibly relaxed fashion

I have not looked for a hack home for Toby yet, but he'll make someone a neat friend that is for sure!

Mostly I'm denial about leaving the barn, the ride list will not be the same without him!

He's my Emotional Support Racehorse. Everyone needs one💁‍♀️
