I caught the end of an interview on This Morning (or whatever it's called) earlier where Zara Phillips was saying that Tallyho Sambucca is hopefully going to be her 2012 horse so I toddled off to look at their results. Well - Chatter1, you were first to their 7th at Stockland Lovell so come on, as soon as your boy is better, I'm expecting you to start your 2012 campaign

How brilliant though - if they make it you'll always be able to say you beat them. x

 

[chatter1]

thanks..... well actually, we also beat them at Hartpury!!! She was 33rd to my 20th!!!!

Fingers crossed he comes sound soon.......

Hadn't noticed that result

. How is he?

 

[chatter1]

Looked good yesterday after having a week on box rest. He had a little bit of time in the field yesterday and didn't look so good today and he's now off the bute.

 

[Rosiefan]

Oh dear, that's worrying. So what next - more wait and see? I'd find it very difficult to do that although I know it's often the best thing to do

 

[chatter1]

No, I didn't like the look of that either, was really pleased yesterday

I will give the vet a call, I think it might be slightly worse than we first thought. Oh well I suppose at least we've got plenty of time to get him better before the beginning of next year. Fingers crossed

I read your post earlier about sponsorship, my friend and I are currently trying to put something together to contact people with, but am not really sure where to start, have you got any good ideas you'd like to share???

 

[Rosiefan]

Hope it goes OK - poor horse.
Not really got much idea about sponsorship tbh. I guess initially you need to suggest what you would do for them and how it might help them and why they should sponsor you rather than anyone else. Send letter and if they get back to you I imagine you'd need to put a kind of business plan together.
Problem for me at the moment is that I haven't a clue who to approach but have got all friends and family applying their minds to it. We wouldn't want a fortune - just a bit of help with entries and travelling and most of all - more to spend on good training. Good luck.
Rosie's not very helpful - she just says she wishes I was rich or failing that, why haven't I got rich friends - doh

Thanks - Same here!!!
