Bordeaux's Life After Racing - Part 2

Today we continue our re-homing series on Bordeaux.

The trotter, who had 11 wins during his racing career, is being re-educated at Chanelle Dickie’s Selwyn Equestrian Centre. He’s part of Harness Racing New Zealand’s HERO programme. (HERO stands for Harness Education and Rehoming Opportunities).

In the first video in this series we talked to Philip Iggo about the horse he bred, owned and raced and today it’s Dickie turn to explain the processes involved in transitioning Bordeaux from the cart to under saddle.
