What mergers do, especially ones like AH/AWH is make sure those of us who love to hunt can continue to do so. I support all hunting whether it is a day out with the Albrighton or The Burne Bloodhounds. What we have to consider is the huge thanks we owe to land owners both those that hunt but...

Sounds like you have been treating him well! probably too well. Remember ex race horses love routine, if you are going to change anything do it slowly, if he is hacking out and decides he wants to go in a different direction then don't let him, even if you have to get off to lead him, don't...

Either but I would say as Gibsons Newmarket have been making silks for ever! then you can't really get much better. HRH The Queen has her silks from there!
