At The Races

Its been a busy few weeks in the yard. A handful of yearlings have now arrived and its another enjoyable part of the yard. Having been around NH stores since May theses flat yearlings appear to be so so small. They are so well handled these days from foals making my job pretty each - excluding the odd one!

Robert Cooper from At The Races is due here on Wednesday. They are going to spend a morning with me and I will be doing my best to show and explain everything I do here at Cottage Field Stables. I am very much looking forward to it but dread the thought of having a microphone hooked on. I'll have to watch my F's, the lads will think i'm ill.

I am trying to find a real good lad to come and work in the yard, with the veiw of giving him the rides in the Point to Pointers. I have the word out in Ireland that I'm looking and hope someone comes along. They are a great bunch of horses that any trainer would be happy to have any one of them in their yard. Its a real chance for a young jockey to get noticed.
