The 2 races Hopstrings has been entered for have 11 entries and Southwell looks the less competitive. I gave her a light bit of work this morning and she's very well.
We went out and about on some of Derby Sale horses this morning, all behaved beautifully and all jockeys stayed on board. Once the horses were all done and dusted I fogged the barn.
The children have all been on a pony rally for the last 2 days, after lunch I dashed across to watch them and was pleasantly surprised how well they all ride when compared to other children of similar ages. Tilly was jumping Tobby, who has a massive jump in him, she landed on parts she'd rather not of done and soon decided that enough was enough as the poles were raised. Sholto and Panda also did some jumping. Conker, nearly jumped Sholto out of the saddle but he sat tight and did very well. Panda is fearless and would jump anything given the chance.
Rain showers on Friday, this has been the hottest period of time for 7 years, enjoy it, we may have to wait another 7 years!
