This afternoon I popped to Overbury Stud to see Max Ward and Major Martin, both horses are in fine fettle and there is no better place than Overbury for horses to let themselves down. Simon Sweeting and his team are excellent.
I came home to find Panda giving her mate Maddie a riding lesson on Tobby, Sholto and Tilly had tacked him up and hoisted Maddie onto his back. Ponies like Tobby don't have a value as no one could afford him. He is the kindest pony I have ever experienced, he switches on and off like a light bulb depending on the ability of the rider. Maddie's shoes are just perfect for riding in!
