Retired Horses

Elm Farm

James owns 110 acres of permanent pasture at Elm Farm near Stansted; he runs riding stables and livery. Any of the horses that go to him for retirement that are able to be used in other spheres of riding, dressage, show jumping etc., do so.

Ridden mainly by his qualified staff any that leave racing through injury and can no longer be ridden are given the opportunity to live out their lives with the sun on their backs. Some of the horses that have been retired to James's are American Hero, Sands of Gold, Ulvic Star, Cool by the Pool and Activity.

Power Glory

Having won a Point to Point for Brian Dowling in 2007 and considering that Power's form has been going down, it has been decided to retire Power Glory to Point to Point racing - a thing he obviously enjoys.

Urban Knight was raced on the flat and over hurdles finishing 4th once but showed a dislike for the job. He is now owned by April Gingell who competes in Endurance Riding with him. Urban has now upgraded to Open Level and it is hoped he will proceed to advanced next year.

Geat British Endurance Riding

Going Around won 3 races over hurdles and had a rating of 120. When he finished racing under rules he became April's Point to Pointer and was placed on almost every run. He was retired at the age of 15 and now enjoys a new challenge of dressage at Elm Farm.
