Sir Dex - Dex was a star racehorse,
winning nearly a million dollars for his
connections. Dex's owners wanted him to
have a good home after racing so placed him with
Cobie Sheehan who did a wonderful job with his
early performance horse training. Cobie
brought Dex to me for some Eventing training and
from the start I just loved him and she showed
ability as an eventer.
Cobie and I agreed that Dex was really enjoying
Eventing so Cobie agreed to sell Dex to me.
Dex progressed to 2* level with Niki and Shane
in the saddle and was sadly sold in 2010 for
financial reasons. he now has a great home
in WA with Elizabeth Moore. |
