Alice, another local girl came in to see how we work on a day to day basis and has gone away to decide whether or not she would enjoy working here. The plan is she will work mornings only, allowing her to go off and do other things in the afternoon.
Once the horses were all done and out in the paddock for the day, I headed to Overbury Stud. Overbury Stud, the home of Kayf Tara is managed and run by Simon Sweeting, Simon has always sent me as much work as he can and I try to rest our horses there when I can. It is a beautiful place and very professionally run with fantastic staff.
Sam was in early afternoon and we schooled the 3 year old ex flat horse over 10 flights of hurdles, he loved it and I led him on Silver. If Silver's legs hold up I romanticise about taking him hunting one day a week. Whether or not I can find the time or money is yet to be decided.
