As if all these horses where not enough to care for daily, Fred is so appreciative of his retired ex eventers that he also keeps these at home in the lap of luxury retirement. He values the well-being of them and as long as they have quality of life he would prefer to keep them and look after them himself. So Spook ( Artagnan de Ceran ) and Eider, happily spend their days in lovely meadows, no doubt telling the youngsters over the fence how to do it all.
