17th April 2014

Most of the horses had routine canters on the wood-chip, those that worked yesterday had a quiet day. The 3 babies that have just arrived were all girthed with the roller and all accepted it very well, I foresee no problems with anyone of them.

Sam added some more ventilation to my horse box with the forks on the tractor!

Robbie Rabbit is likely to go to Chaddesley Corbett on Saturday, Robert Chugg is in charge of the ground and tells me he'll be putting plenty of water on.

I failed to have a rant about the Hunter Chase at Chepstow, Cavite Epsilon was balloted out due to stabling, or rather lack of it. Why they can't think outside the box and make arrangements for a few to stay in the lorries I do not know. We all seem to manage at the p2p's. Instead they ended up with 9 runners and many disgruntled owners and trainers.

I finally managed to get my new phone switched on, it has only taken 2 weeks and numerous calls and emails to O2.
