Second Career

Wemyss now lives with Beth Hutchinson, who has known him since he was three years old as she was part of the racing syndicate that owned him. When it was decided to retire Wemyss from racing in 2022, he was sent home to Beth and her husband James, who live in a village close to Barnard Castle with a menagerie of horses, sheep and pup the dog! Wemyss spent last summer having a well earned rest and Beth is now spending the time re-educating him to enable him to go on and have a successful second career.
