THE aptly named Que Sera was crowned Retraining of Racehorses' (RoR) Horse of the Year in recognition of his versatility as a family horse.
The 14-year-old gelding, owned and ridden by Jo and Ben Hales and their children, topped the public vote to win the RoR awards at The Jockey Club Rooms (31 January).
The family bought him from trainer Philip Hobbs in 2017 and he has excelled in multiple disciplines, hunted and embraced his role as a family horse. He has helped raise hundreds of pounds for charity, overcome a severe injury and won numerous dressage and side-saddle showing titles.
