We schooled 6 horses on Thursday morning. The two juveniles Dragon City and Portmonarch jumped very well. Elmore Back was very quick and just had a little sharpen up. Almost Gemini and Verano are showed they are now very polished and professional .

I rode out for the first time in quite awhile this morning, it was nice to be back on a horse. I rode Elmore Back who felt great and Attimo who felt very fresh. The horses on the whole look well and I am happy with them. It is frustrating for the good ground horses that it is so wet but at least it is the same for everyone.

Almost Gemini is entered on Wednesday, if I can sell one more share in him he will run.

Matilda's pony Toby has also come to stay now she is at boarding school, Rose has found him a useful way to walk the dogs at lunch time!

Elmore Back will run at Doncaster tomorrow in  the 2m 4f h'cap hurdle. it is step up in class for him but I think he is well h'capped so he might as well have his chance.
