Woosh, I bet that hurt!

 

[little_pink_piggies]

arthurs word went to christine hardinge and has lost the plot completely, and appareantly calibre has chucked the towel in and had enough....... dont quote me on it though!!!!

 

[madgirl]

god poor nick do you know why or who now has the ride?

 

[sw123]

Got MOP at the yard i work for, could have a rider but owner would like to sell.....partnerships come to an end, things move on and so do horses

 

[madgirl]

yup whose yard are you at?

 

[Bossanova]

He owns Calibre- though its hard to see how he has chucked in the towel, seemed to finish the season ok?

Arthurs Word was a nutter if he was not an eventer then bullett was needed. Cannot be turned out, needs a certain kind of stable, cannot hack out etc.
Calibre was never going to be quality 3*/4* I heard that more space was needed on the yard for the more promising horses. Nick has had a very quiet year for him and yet has a few good ones coming through.

[lorenababbit]

gauntlett knew what he was like when he bought him and why take on a horse nicholson didnt want to ride. Calibre has done a great job for nick been top ten placed at blair and bramham and completed Badminton after he had that awful injury at Samur. He has been a great servant and if he has decided he has done enough you cant blame him.
and bill levett has sold blacker cat and chris king has got it.

 

[madgirl]

so what is happening to calbre?

 

[lorenababbit]

i will do best to find out in the morning and let you know. i am very fond of that horse.

 

[madgirl]

oo thanks a lot!!!

who, how will you find out?

 

[ElleJS]

Blacker Cat has been sold? That mare will go places, Bill rated her big time, must have been sold for lots of ££££££££££ for him to lose her.

 

[madgirl]
