Spent last night in the company of the wonderful Carl Hester at Aintree. What a treat!
Not only is the guy a superb rider with 5 stunning horses with him last night (AND an exceptional rider who works for him who is only 23!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She's one to watch!), BUT he is also so personable, grounded and sensible in his approach to his horses. To hear someone at that level saying that two of his best horses live out "because it's better for them mentally", and all of his horses enjoy regular turn out was such a joy. So many at this level wrap their undoubtedly valuable horses up in cotton wool until they can hardly breathe.
Really was impressed with the guy. Wish he was my neighbour - ha ha ha. He's off to Scotland next - get a ticket if you can!
