Horses

Kangarilla Road (stable name `Kanga’) is by Magic Ring (IRE) out of Kangra Valley.  A 16.2hh Dark Bay Thoroughbred gelding he was born 05/02/1999 and raced 31 times on the flat and twice on the all weather.  He had 4 wins, 2 seconds and 5 third places with winnings of £39,227. 

Kanga is I think (it’s sometimes a very close call with others for the top spot) Carrie’s all time favourite in the yard.  Ian also has commandeered him as his lead horse and uses him for beach rides, day rides, holidays and even took him hunting in Winter 2011/12  – I think its fair to say this was an unexpected and scary development but Kanga liked to prove us all wrong and when the rest of the group turned round fearing the worst had happened, Ian and Kanga came bobbing along in the most controlled manner probably ever seen on a hunting field!  The beauty of horses, always expect the unexpected!
