Top international eventer Karen Dixon has been involved with ex-racehorses since the age of 15, when her mother bought her a horse called Running Bear straight from the track. Two years later that horse took her to the Junior European Championships.

Now Karen admits she has a real soft spot for TBs, and she is regularly involved in their training both for the track and in retraining for other disciplines.

In this video Karen shows how she works a four-year-old who needs to learn to look after himself over hurdles, and a six-year-old who is being retrained for eventing.
