Compton Place – Miss Malaprop (Night Shift (USA)
154 starts 14 wins 37 places (flat).
We were asked if we could help this horse by finding him a good, safe and secure home. He had been at livery nearby and was greatly loved and looked after but his owner wanted to feel that he could have a second career. We looked up his form and were astounded. I have only ever come across one horse that could even try to measure up to his number of runs, and that was Montendre with 104. We popped over to the yard to see him and I have to say I was expecting a sharp little flat horse, and he was quite the opposite. He was standing in a stable with his head buried in his hay net, a hen was pecking around his feet and he hardly looked up when went in. This was not a case of being shut away he is clearly well balanced and well adjusted and not at at all like Monty who spent most of his time on his hind legs when we led him anywhere. Mally came in and took everything in his stride and didn’t bat an eyelid when he saw a goose fly past with Mable the Unstable (our Jack Russell) firmly attached to its tail.
We have taken in some more new horses - details to follow
