A long but a good day. Serena Brotherton was here last night on her way to a meeting in Newbury so she rode out 2 lots and Sam was here too. 8 horses cantered on the grass, the rest stayed on the wood-chip and the babies went in the school.
The Heythrop hounds meet at noon which fitted in very nicely for Johnny and I. We had a good charge about, jumped plenty and had a very good look at the new Heythrop P2P course. It looks in fantastic shape and I have no doubt in my mind it will be considered one of the best P2P course in the country.
After hunting it was back to the grind stone, in my absence the lads racked in the sides of the wood-chip gallop, tonight I spent some time levelling it before checking legs, fetching shaving and haylage round to the yard and feeding. Tom Campbell was here this evening for a few routine vaccinations and a chat.
Saint Charles and The Drinkymeister are going for an away gallop tomorrow so its an earlier start than normal.
