Winter has arrived

It has been absolutely amazing that the horses have been able to stay out in the fields almost up until the end of November. We brought in the old boys a week or so ago but it has been so mild and sunny we decided to leave the younger ones out a little longer. In the end the decision to bring them all in was slightly taken out of our hands; the mares bust out of their field, sprinted across the front of the school and generally created mayhem. They are all in now and are obviously as pleased as punch especially when it is now pouring with rain and blowing a gale!

Ravastree ran in the 1.50 on the Saturday of the Hennessy weekend, he was in a competitive field, jumped almost faultlessly (although made a mistake over the water jump) and came a very credible fourth. His first time over jumps since he arrived in England and everybody was thrilled to bits. He came home safe and was mooching around in the field on Sunday!
