Holy Roller (foaled 18 November 1992) was an Australian Thoroughbred racehorse in the mid-to late 1990s.
Holy Roller was born at Woodlands Stud in Denman, New South Wales,[1] where it took his dam over one hour to give birth.
[citation needed] Woodlands Stud does not sell its yearlings, but races everything it breeds; Trevor Lobb, the general manager, and the trainer, John Hawkes, assess the youngsters in November and divide them into the appropriate groups for breaking.
[citation needed] Holy Roller was gelded at an early age to try to slow down his rapid growth pattern, but it did not work.
Upon his retirement, his owners John and Bob Ingham[citation needed] donated Holy Roller to Rod Hoare, a New South Walesequine veterinarian, who was looking for a big horse to compete in dressage and eventing.
