On Sunday I spent most of the day driving a 9 tonne dumper truck taking wood-chip onto the new gallop, when it started doing pirouettes down a very steep slippery hill after a rain shower I pulled stumps and went for a lye down! Not something I want to experience again and would opt to ride Robbie Rabbit over a line of open ditches in preference.
I am attending a seminar in Newmarket this week on various conditions in horses, today was all about the heart and lameness, all very interesting stuff and hugely educational.
Alice and Liam Treadwell are holding fort at home. It makes life so much easier when the yard is left in such capable hands.
Hopstrings and Max Ward will be heading to Aintree on Friday.
