25 Beautiful Homes magazine

Bought this to get some inspiration and discovered they had featured Peter Storr's home.
It didn't do it justice as it's much more "Wow factor" than the article showed, and they didn't show the stables or yard or even the stunning garden either.
Even his dressage markers are made out of box privet grown into the letters!
Perhaps H and H could do a top rider's home and yard every month, I don't know about you but I'd love a nose

to be honest i am more impressed with the end results than posh premises, although i do like to be nosey occasionally, but some of the people with the flashest yards i have seen have been dead good with tail spray and hoof oil and dead rubbish at keeping their horses on the road year after year!

Well said Lu, but I don't think that applies to Peter LOL. He's one of the best around IMHO.

 

[lucretia]

you know i know nothing about posh dressage peeps Half step so i will take your word for it!!

And I've beeen to some of the scruffiest yards around that pull off good results with quality horses time after time ( and wouldn't know a bottle of tail spray if you threw it at them!) ;

Oh yes, very true.

One in particular I know brings out Champion after Champion year in and year out.

"It's what comes out of the wagon that counts, not the wagon it comes out of" as a very successful Producer once told me.

I enjoy articles like that purely because I am nosey, but having worked on a couple of very posh yards I have to say that we seemed to waste an awful lot of time raking acres of flaming gravel and titivating landscape.
