June 23rd 2010

Sorry for the long delay in an update. I had a bad accident at the beginning of March when i got my foot caught in the stirrup .

This resulted in me pulling all the ligaments off the bone in my knee and i had to have two reconstructive operations.

I am not able to ride for another 3 months but the horses are going very well with new rider David McNaulty. He won 3

classes at Weston Lawns last week and is due to compete there again this weekend. He has won 3 foxhunters in a row

on Rosa and also won the Newcomers on Fantaland and the discovery on Bogarde or Billy as we call him. The stallion page

has been updated with new photos and some nice ones of Crusador who also won the 1.30m class last week.

I am now available for training if anyone wants to book a lesson or join a 2 day clinic ring or send me an email

We have loads of new foals but i want to cut down this winter so all the broodmares are up for sale. They have nearly all

been tested in foal now to Fantaland or Crusador, see the broodmares page for the details.
