Horse and Handler - it can be special

Breednet - Saturday January 7

The relationship between horse and handler can be special at times and Newhaven Park have shared some little nuggets of gold on their social feed over the weekend.

The sales process can be a brutal and somewhat soulless exercise of judgement and valuations but you still can’t hide the priceless love of the horse when all is said and done.

Lot 287 at the Magic Millions is a colt by Brutal out of the stakes placed Refer. It’s a page which consists of plenty of serious 3YO Classic performance both male and female.

Here’s the page, with photo and video.

But here’s the horse and George!

 
 

But wait. There’s more! Step up Richard and Monty.

To the judges and valuers, that’d be Lot 409, a colt by Microphone out of South Of France, a stakes winning US bred mare. This is her first foal.

Here’s the page, with photo and video.

Here’s Richard and Monty.

 
Gold!
