Thoroughbreds often become a part of the family for many owners, none more so than Sam Fursdon’s Reet Petite, a retired racehorse thriving in her new career as an eventer.
Held at the upcoming Randlab Matamata Equestrian Group Horse Trial, the New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing Eventer Stakes is for thoroughbreds who have finished their racing career within the last two years.
Thoroughbreds entering the sporthorse space are full of promise moving into their second career, a transition that is made seamless with the assistance of passionate horsewomen like Donna and Elise Edwards-Smith.
