Yes, I own Suchaking (The Wiking x Sucha) Did you work with him at Hartbury? I managed to get him registered with the AHS and he started his racing career last year. He had just the 3 runs for education and although he ran very green he did show us some potential.
He came home to me in October for his holidays and then went back into training at the beginnning of March. Hopefully his first race of the season will be at Wolverhampton on 5th May.
We also have his full sister - Whisper - who has been a multiple winner on the race track, and his half-sister - Kizhi - who was also a multiple winner on the race track and has now progressed into Endurance where she so far has achieved her FEI 1* qualification, so he has 'come home' so to speak
Suchaking (or Syd as he's known at home!) is a really lovely, easy and laid back boy and a pleasure to own......with huge credit to the way he was handled at Hartbury as a youngster.
And hello Lin123! I was wondering where he had got too as when I returned for my second year he had been sold on, however Lotta did post a photo of him in the parade ring at Wolverhapton last year!
So glad to hear he's doing well and with his sister! I remember sitting around trying to track down his pedigree at college!
Its lovely to hear that he's doing so well! Will have to try and make the trip across to watch him run!
Oh you must if you can Seems like you took a liking to him?
There's a very long and complicated story as to how I ended up with Suchaking having been aware of him from when he was foaled and not aquiring him him until he was a 3yo but that's not for here and PM me if you wish to know anymore. If he doesn't make the grade racing then he has all the attributes that I look for in an Endurance horse so he will have another career to attempt Thank you so much for caring enough about him to post on here.
