EquiPepper was born from Ruby’s love of Thoroughbreds and her desire to improve the reputation of Ex Racehorses. While studying Equine Science at University Ruby purchased her first ex racehorse and documented her progress retraining Scottie from racehorse to riding horse. This online diary became a university project and then evolved into EquiPepper, an award-winning Equine Blog dedicated to racehorse retraining.
We strive to answer all those burning questions you have about ex racehorses. Do ex racehorses make good riding horses? Why are ex racehorses so cheap? What problems do ex racehorses have? We answer all of these and give plenty more advice on buying, owning and riding ex racehorses in our dedicated Racehorse Retaining category.
But it’s not just thoroughbreds and ex racehorses. Ruby really believes that the more horse owners know, the better our horse’s welfare and she isn’t afraid to talk about the sensitive topics! On EquiPepper you will find everything from making sure your horse gets the best care and management, to helping you reach your competition goals, we have you covered. There are also product reviews and the latest equestrian news, to make sure you get your horsey fix on every visit.
