RETIRED CLUB STAR ‘HORSE OUTSIDE’ NOW ENJOYING LIFE IN SCOTLAND!

Former kennel favourite HORSE OUTSIDE (Gino) who won 18 races for the Norah Mac Racing Club joined up with another of Norahs ex-racers DRUIDS GAFFNEY (Gaffy) when he retired to live with Terry Cooper and his wife Frances down in Bristol. The ‘pair’ are now living in Livingston, West Lothian up in Scotland after Terry and Francis moved there earlier this year! Terry has sent these pictures to show how well Gino is enjoying his retirement!

Terry said “The move up to Livingston, Scotland went well, all the dogs love it up here, Gaffy is very well behaved in doors, still a tank outside though, but Gino, I’m so proud of him! He was very difficult to assess at first because he was so timid, he would just stand and stare as though he was having a ‘senior moment’ and didn’t show much interest in anything. At one point we wondered if he was really a kennel dog, and not adjusting to a home life. Gino started to take more interest up here when I got a Border Collie pup which he loves! He and the pup sleep, play and eat together, I honestly have not seen any dog change like it in 25 years of having retired racers, I think being in kennels for so long he just had no idea on what to do! We are so happy with him!”
