Boys will be Boys

Oopsy! Seems like one of this boys have escaped from their own pasture!
That’s the problem with RDS pastures. Just because we have all those trees in the pasture, it is really hard to see if the fence is intact. This is the first time a stallion actually has escaped, just because a beam on the fence had fallen down.

But no worries! No horse became injured, nor did someone from the staff. Although it was a true challenge to separate two stallions how doesn’t have their halters on

Rush Hour got won the Sprint Grand Cup which we are very pleased with. This young stallion is a wonderful horse. But never the less, William noticed that the young horse lost focus as the season went by. He decided that Rush Hour only had early but short maturation, which would not last forever. Therefore RDS decided to retire him. He will be open for breeding in the future, but he still need to grow up a little more.
