The horses from Ireland arrived safely first thing this morning, they all seem fine, as expected they are knackered. I did very little with them today, tomorrow they will have a day of rest before getting started on the steady process to the racecourse. The Robin Des Champs filly is the stand out, she already has my name beside her for the winter. I can't wait to get up on her and see what she's like to sit on. Captain Radclyffe always told me he'd pay an extra few thousand pounds if he could sit up on them before purchase.
Yesterday Alice went to collect the Nayef from Whitsbury Stud that we had earlier in the year. This morning I chucked a lad up on her and she was 100%. It is always a joy to have horses back that we have broken and seldom, if ever do we have a problem getting back up on them. Otherwise all the others had canters or went in the school.
I think we may have had our summer! The wind and rain today has been brutal.
