Top-Jäger-Cue-Karte Wird Von Katie Jerram-Hunnable Von Show Umgeschult

Beliebter Hindernislauf Cue-Karte soll werden der neue Stallstar für die Show von Produzentin Katie Jerram-Hunnable.

Der 13-jährige Wallach kam letzte Woche (11.

Cue Card, trainiert von Colin Tizzard, ging im April 2018 in den Ruhestand, nachdem er neun Siege der Klasse 1 errungen hatte, darunter die Verfolgungsjagd auf King George VI im Jahr 2015. Er gewann mehr als 1 Million Pfund nach den Regeln.

„Ich habe die Abschiedsbilder von seinem Abschied auf dem Hof der Tizzards auf Facebook gesehen und hatte einen Kloß im Hals. Jeder dort ist verärgert, dass er geht, aber Es ist schön zu wissen, dass er so geliebt wird – nicht nur von Menschenmassen, sondern auch auf dem Hof. sagte Katja. „Ich sagte ‚Entschuldigung, dass wir ihn mitgenommen haben, aber wir werden unser Bestes tun, um auf ihn aufzupassen‘.“

Katie sagte, das Pferd habe sich direkt in seiner "Prime Box" neben dem produktiven RoR-Champion Barbers Shop der Queen niedergelassen.

„Er ging direkt hinein und steckte sich in sein Heu, trank etwas und sah glücklich aus“, sagte Katie. “ Barbers Nase sah bei dem Neuankömmling leicht aus den Fugen, was ziemlich lustig war! ”

prior to cue card’s owner jean bishop giving katie’s yard the seal of approval last week, the son of king’s theatre (sadler’s wells) had been adjusting to retirement at his trainers, and made his most recent public appearance in a parade at cheltenham last month.

katie said cue card had “come out of racing looking amazing” and had “finished his career with a smile on his face”, adding that she “couldn’t wait to get started” preparing him for his showing debut.

“i’m planning to have a sit on him this afternoon and then he’ll go out in the paddock and get into his new routine,” she said.

“he is entered into royal windsor in hand - it’s very early days but we thought we would do some in-hand showing this year, just to get him used to the banners and everything that’s going on and then i’d like to think he could do some novice ridden before beginning his open campaign the year after.”

katie said the bay - who his lad described as “a very kind horse” - has all the attributes to succeed in his new role.

“he’s a beautiful horse with the most lovely body - short coupled, deep through the girth, a cracking hind leg, beautiful foreleg and lovely length of rein,” she said. “obviously he will put more on his top line, it will just be a case of putting his muscles into different use as he won’t be used to working through the way we would work him through. we’ll start with light work in the school and a lot of hacking.

“everyone is so excited about it,” she added. “the driver who dropped him off said he’d be cheering him on at every show - it means the world to me that he has such a lovely following.”
