Ross Moor
We are sorry you have not had the updates to the website over the past 2 months but it has been difficult to write anything in the knowledge the first comment has to be about Ross Moor!
We were all very upset in the yard at Ross Moor's fatal injury suffered at Lingfield on 16th December. He was leading with a furlong to go when his knee broke. The break was so bad the vets immediately put him to sleep.
He was a fine big stamp of a horse and a real character. The faces he pulled in his box suggested he would take your head off! However, the worst he managed was a few small bites.
He was a great ride on the gallops and on the track and he loved his turnout. Our favourite track is Sandown and he won two handicaps there for us. The course suited his style of running as he liked something to aim at and enjoyed mowing the leaders down from the middle of the track. However, if he was in amongst the other horses he would lose concentration as all he wanted to do was pull faces at the opposition.
We knew when he was really well in himself as he would make a noise by slapping his lips together and would stick his tongue out and leave it there until he got a carrot or a mint!
Although he has gone he will not be forgotten and his handsome frame in the winners enclosure at Sandown adorns the walls our kitchen.
