3 degrees driving in this morning… it feels very cold very quickly and a couple of the horses have started to look a bit hairy! Winter rugs are coming out and it wont be long before the sound of clippers fills the yard, but hopefully we are a few weeks away from that yet. The…

September is upon us and it feels very Autumnal very quickly. We had some welcome rain last week which has certainly made the grass grow and everything has turned green again rather than a shade of yellow! It has been a tough summer for trainers, farmers and anyone working with animals or crops with the…

The racing break ended on Saturday and 3 weeks flew by. We headed to Market Rasen with 2 runners Dear Dot ran nicely to finish 3rd on her first start for the yard. Possibly a career best for her and hopefully she can take a step forward for the run. No Guarantee also ran a…

Land Girls Luck wins again… and quite possibly her best win to date. She took a big step forward from Southwell to win comfortably under 5lb claimer Freddie Mitchell. She’s been an absolutely cracking horse for us for us so far and always runs her race. She returned to Bangor 2 weeks later and finished…

A quiet last week with only a few runners… Aureus ran at Warwick on Thursday under David Bass. He looked a picture but unfortunately he just doesn’t look like he’s interested in being a racehorse so we will now find him a lovely home as a riding horse. Jullou De Grissay ran at Parham Point…

First of all, apologies for not writing a blog for a few weeks. When i started the blog, i had intentions of a weekly blog but we’ve been so busy on the yard (and a gigaclear network failure), i’m afraid the blog went on the back burner! Anyway, a fantastic end to the season this…
