Roddy (Kingston Brave)

7yo OTTB Gelding | Born Feb 2018

Roddy is a sweet-natured and genuine ex-racehorse who has been privately owned since November 2024. He retired from racing in summer 2024 after three runs and has since enjoyed living out in a small, settled herd.
He is easy to handle on the ground and good to catch.

Roddy received SI joint steroid treatment in July 2025, followed by physiotherapy and a period of groundwork. He was signed off as sound to return to ridden work in October 2025.
Prior to his treatment he was hacked out in company, with no issues.

He was restarted in the saddle two weeks ago, but is nervous at mounting, and although he is comfortable with being ridden, he is not progressing with mounting.

Reluctantly, circumstances with the owner’s health issues have led to this difficult decision. A kind and caring home where he can settle as a companion or alternatively continue his education would be ideal.
