Purdon Racing

Loving the support from the local Purdon Barn down at the Franklin Trotting Track. 💪

Why do we clip horses in winter? ❄️🐴

When horses are in work through the colder months, they can grow a thick winter coat that causes them to sweat heavily during exercise. Clipping helps them cool down more efficiently, dry faster after work, and stay comfortable throughout their training.

It might look a little strange seeing a horse clipped in winter, but it actually helps us manage their wellbeing and performance while they’re in full work.

A fresh clip, a warm rug, and they’re ready to go. ✂️✨

Thanks Ash for the video 😍

No races for us this week… but we’ve been hard at it 🚀

Another week of building fitness, fine-tuning, and doing the little things that nobody sees.

The glamour is in the winners’ circle, but the magic happens here.

It took some convincing to get Kasper to see the farrier at lunch time today but we came to an agreement. His demands were met 🫡💙

Incentivise means business 💪

Working forward early to find the front, he controlled the race from there and fought strongly to the line for a deserved victory 🏆

Congratulations to all of his connections! 🚀
