A routine morning, all horses are progressing nicely and it will remain much the same now until the end of the month for most horses.
The partitions in my lorry have twisted due to one particular horse who is orange in colour but shall remain nameless. He has a habit of leaning on them, I am having to take it to Leominster to have them all re-done. Getting horses in and out is proving almost impossible. Alice had to dismantle it the other day to get one out. Over and above everything else it is unsafe. I will be taking it when I get back from Goffs.
Sad news came in yesterday that Cestus broke a leg when galloping. I loved that horse and seldom allowed anyone else to ride him. He did some outstanding bits of work in his time here and was on a upward curve, we as traders just couldn't carry him forward for another year. He wouldn't have ever made enough money at the sales as a 6 year old to justify in doing so.
