About Hester

Hester is a 8yo Bay Standardbred gelding who recently retired from his racing career in October 2023 after a successful 52 starts, earning $67,123 for his owners. Though he retired sound, Hester was no longer competitive in the racing world.

Hester is the definition of a gentleman, always eager to please those around him. His calm, willing nature makes him a pleasure to have in any setting. Hester is well-mannered and very easy to handle—whether it’s shoeing, worming, tying up, or floating, he’s always cooperative.

He has also been exposed to farm machinery, vehicles, other animals, and children without any issues. Hester has been started under saddle, and has even been out on several trail rides, showing his versatility and steady demeanor.

Hester is in good health but does suffer from mild Qld Itch. He would thrive in a home where he receives plenty of love, attention, and gentle training.

Whether you are experienced rider or just beginning your equestrian journey, Hester is ready to become your loyal and gentle companion. If you are in search of a kind hearted horse with a gentle nature, Hester could be the perfect match for you.

RULE CHANGE COMING

With the phasing out of freeze branding, owners entering Standardbred and partbred Standardbred horses in breed classes at agricultural shows and other equine events across Australia, where breed is relevant, must be current financial members and horses registered with the home state’s Standardbred Pleasure and Performance Horse Association.
