Mills Stables Retraining Racehorses

22/04/2025

⭐️Viewings available for these lovely horses all week ⭐️

Busy day after Easter 🐰and the horses were all working brilliantly in the sunshine today 🌞
Wilson, Duque and Flour then went on a hack around the village and Tabby came to visit us in the garden this afternoon after her hack 🏇

Feivel has only just started his retraining with us but is proving to be a really nice easy going boy. He will soon be ready to start looking for his new person, we just need to find out what he enjoys doing so we can match him to that perfect home.

Raphie is with us for some retraining to find out what he wants to do in life after racing. He is coming along nicely and we are really enjoying producing him for his owner.

Ollie is super smart and ready for someone looking for a horse to go out competing with. He is green but very willing and ready to go on to do any job. If you want a horse with a good brain and enjoy producing young horses, this boy would be perfect.

King is looking for his new best friend to have some fun with whilst he continues to wind down from racing. He will suit a hacking / pleasure ride / fun home because he loves going out and about. He is starting to realise now that work in the school isn't actually work and today he really enjoyed cantering around with the others. He is the sweetest little horse and just wants an easy life after racing.

Wilson went out hacking with Duque and Flour. He is a great hack and is coming along really nicely in the school and would be ideal for someone wanting to Dressage / Showing

Duque would love a hacking home, he thoroughly enjoys getting out and has been nanny to the newbies. He is also starting to get back into his schooling and could be a really lovely project for someone to keep producing for some dressage

Flour loves her hacking and is fabulous mare who is looking for someone to be her best friend and maybe dancing partner! I think she would be great moving up the levels in dressage as she loves to learn and always tries to please

Tabby is a sweet little mare who much prefers her hacking to school work and is really enjoying getting out and about. She would love to find someone who will continue her education and take her out exploring!

We have even more horses so do get in touch and please share 🙏

We use our Optimus Therapy Tech lumina for loads of different treatments but we haven't had a horse that has needed help with head shaking.
Sharing in case anyone has a horse struggling with head shaking because this would be worth a try!
We love our device and we know it works because not only do we see fabulous results with our horses but on ourselves as well 😊

Spring is the season of change and this year the exceptionally warm dry weather has resulted in more tree pollen being released and, with low rainfall, not being washed out of the atmosphere.

So while we’re all busy sneezing, what does it mean for our horses?

Bright sunlight, insects, wind and high pollen counts can be triggers for seasonal headshaking (uncontrollable shaking, flicking, or striking of the head), and for horses with diagnosed neuropathic headshaking, pollen is just one of many stimulants that can trigger a response.

Our latest blog explains how red and infrared light therapy is emerging as a therapeutic treatment that can soothe symptoms for horses suffering from headshaking. Huge thanks to Sarah Hawkins Dressage for putting theory into practice with her horse Kanga!

Do you all remember Missy?!
She came to us in January because her behaviour had become quite dangerous sometimes, with explosive moments and bad attitude towards her owners and life in general.
Her owner had done a really good job starting her retraining with her and they had been out to some shows and pony club but then Missy had a very big change in temperament.
There were a number of things that led to this and she was a very quirky mare that came to us!
I know many of you followed her progress through our youtube videos and I can honestly say that I was so proud of how Missy trusted me to help her and how hard her young owner worked to get them both back on track whilst Missy was with us.
Since going home, we have kept in touch and have loved following how far they have come on since leaving here.
Missy is very lucky that she has an amazing owner and family who didn't give up on her and stopped listening to all the wrong advice about what Missy needed and sent her to us!
It is updates like these that mean the world to me. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Missy and her owner whilst they were here and we will continue to be there for them both for as long as they want us to be 🥰
So proud of both of them and how amazing to see how far they have come! ❤️🏇
We have spaces coming available in May for retraining so do get in touch if you think you need some help with your Racehorse

⭐️We will have spaces in May for retraining, rehoming, full / part livery, holiday / retirement livery⭐️

Introducing Ollie! 🏇
16.2hh, 6 year old gelding
This boy is certainly one for someone looking for a nice young horse to bring on to compete. He is a fabulous stamp of a horse with lovely paces and we have just started jumping him.
He is great to hack out.
Loves his work and he has a great trainable brain and a lovely attitude.
A pleasure to have on the yard and a really easy horse to do.
No injuries / vices

Please no time wasters bother enquiring!

This is a very lovely mare who is just waiting for someone to come along and be her best friend! ❤️
I honestly can't believe she is still waiting for viewings! 🤷‍♀️
She loves her training and is so honest and genuine in the way that she learns and takes things on board.
Someone must be looking for that special horse?! 🏇
I love mares and really enjoy training horses like Flour who are very talented, sensitive and try so hard to please and when it all comes together, they are amazing and you get the best partnership ever!

Please share her details with your friends and help us find her the best home 🙏

The transformation from her first training video 8 weeks ago is so nice to see and they are all on our YouTube channel.

She is 16.2hh, 8 years old and can be viewed with us in Worcester

Enjoying the sun in the 1st week of April with some of the horses 🥰🏇
We have loads ready for rehoming and some nearly ready so do get in touch!

We love keeping in touch with all the horses that we have we have rehomed and this boy was a very special one!
We rehomed him in 2022 but unfortunately this year he ended up getting passed on and his owners didn't want us to know where he went. Long story and not a nice one!
We were accused by them when they passed him on, that when we sold him to them nearly 3 years ago, we had apparently 'posted photos and videos that led them to believe that he had been to shows when they had been very carefully filmed and made to look like that 🤔😔'!
I can barley put the videos I have together let alone try and produce false ones to pretend we are doing things we aren't 😆

I kept searching for him after they told me they wouldn't let me know where he went or if he was okay and we were very lucky to find him again. I am so happy to say that he is now in a really lovely home with a great family who adore him🥰
He has already been out to some dressage competitions and is getting on great.
His new owners have said they are happy for me to share some photos of him in his new home and how perfect he is.
I have also put a couple of photos of when I took him out to Dressage and arena xc hire before I sold him. They are definitely not fake!
I hate to admit that we got that first home wrong for him but we are so pleased that we have managed to keep track of him. We can now enjoy seeing him happy in this lovely home with people who can really love and enjoy him for being him!
You so deserve this Fiesole 🏇

Please keeping sharing!

Flour is ready to meet her new person!
Are you looking for a smart, honest horse to carry on producing and have some fun with.
This mare is very genuine and tries so hard to please and is really enjoying her retraining.

Today we said goodbye to the lovely Timon as he finally headed off to his new home🏇
He came to us the end of Spring last year and we lightly restarted him over the summer but then we got quite busy with owners horses so he got pushed to the back of the queue and then winter came and things went a bit quiet on rehoming.
Finally we got him back in work and ready for rehoming but I am sure he wanted to stay, because a month ago he got a bad foot abscess that kept flaring up everytime we booked someone in to view him 🤦‍♀️
We had a really lovely lady contact us and Timon sounded completely suitable but the day before his viewing the abscess came back yet again! She was still so keen to come and meet him and she had a quick sit on him, they got on so well with each other and we knew this was the home he had been waiting for!
Finally we got the abscess sorted and after waiting a couple of weeks, Timon is now happy and settled into his new home!
Some lovely photos that we were sent today after he arrived 🥰

Another horse who left us recently to his new home was the absolutely gorgeous Ron!
This lovely boy spent about 18 months with us and was adored by us all.
He ended up having two viewings booked over a weekend and the first person to view really liked him and wanted him but we felt that they just weren't suitable so we kept the viewing for the day after. Thank goodness we did because the lady that came to view him then was absolutely perfect for him and Ron loved her straight away!
We often have people view our horses that do really like them but if we feel that they aren't 100% right for them we will not let them go anywhere! When we rehome, we have to be sure that we have got it as right as we possibly can and ultimately we allow the horses to choose who they want 🥰

A lovely photo of Ron in his new home and some of my favourites of him 💕🏇

We have loads of new horses coming in so keep checking our website to see what we have and we do still have loads of fabulous mares!!!

Fot those of you who have enjoyed following Flour's progress and our retraining this one is when we start thinking about cantering her.
She is looking for her new home so please do get in touch if you think you might be able to offer her a home!
She is a really lovely mare with loads of potential ❤️🏇

The grass is starting to come through and it is the ideal time to start helping our sensitive TB's and keep their guts nice and healthy!
It is lovely that Spring is just around the corner but we don't need too much of a spring in their step to turn them back into Racehorses 🏇
Many of you will know that we were supported by THE Equine Edge for a long time but they shut down their UK business a few weeks ago which will have left a lot of their clients wondering what company to get their gut supplements from now!
We are extremely pleased to have found Premier Performance and are very excited to be moving all our horses onto their supplements.
We especially recommend their GastroPremier & Stomach Maintenance and you can enjoy a discount when ordering with the code race25
