Max Kendrick was in to have a pop on Freddy Fox, they jumped 9 fences beautifully and will be reunited at High Easter on Saturday. Sam led him on Rebekah Rabbit and then gave At Work Bleu a pop too. The others had quiet canters on the wood-chip or were ridden around the school.
Jollyallan has just won the bumper at Wincanton vey impressively, he arrived in my yard last year reportedly unbreakable! He was a challenge and I would have probably not agreed to have had him had Richard Barber not been the owner. One thing I will not do is attempt to repair other peoples damage. It takes a longtime to make a horse and only a minuet to ruin one. Repairing that damage is not always possible. It looks like we did a good job and Harry Fry has done a fantastic job in getting him to win 1st time out. I'd have a horse every day of the week that hasn't had contact with humans over a horse that has been started by the wrong person.
Chepstow has had a heap of rain and that will do for us thank you - no more required.
