4 weeks ago today I dropped my lovely ex racehorse off at the RVC, the next day he was PTS and my heart broke into a thousand pieces. Ill try and keep it brief! In may I got on him after a few weeks off due to covid to have a quiet hack (he was always solid and reliable on the roads if a little...

Not a post with much purpose this whole isolation malarkey has me permanently logged into HHO to wile away the hours! So today I got inundated with renewal reminders, seems kind of sods law-ish!

So..home in one piece (both of us) after our first ODE at Swalcliffe, we've been doing each element separately and collecting a few ribbons on the way and finally took the plunge to combine them all together. With a later than planned start, the technicalities of tying my new stock baffled us...
