Such a lovely group of Direct Off The Track horses have just arrived on the website! 🐴

A star on the track - Kheiron, known affectionately as James, is a striking and athletic gelding with presence, power and a big personality to match. A beautiful, ‘typey’ bay/brown, he is the sort of horse that turns heads wherever he goes.
Have a look at James here: https://hrvhero.com.au/news/horses/kheiron-james/
