Send us a textLady Buttons, better known by some as "Queen of the North' became a household name during her racing career, from 33 starts she had 15 wins and the community of people that she had following and supporting her was phenomenal. The colours of purple and white would be seen at every racecourse she attended with her fan base extending far and wide. Post racing Buttons found her way to one of her original work riders, Jenni Durrans, who now works alongside her partner Adam Nicol ( trainer) who was Buttons' prominent jockey in her races. This conversation is so inspiring, humble and fascinating in the way that Adam and Jenni approach their training of their racehorses. We talk about the importance of schooling racehorses and how this not only benefits them in their racing career, but also sets them up well for their lives/careers post racing. We talk about; management, training, turnout and how Jenni and Adam's approach of; cross training and exposing their racehorses to lots of different elements in the world help develop them as not just racehorses, but horses as well.
