Hickstead Derby - Locarno 62 but no sign of Ellen?

[littlepinkdress]

I didnt see all of the derby yesterday but noticed in results that Locarno was ridden by Steven Whitaker. Does anyone know why? I havent seen or heard of Ellen competing for a while now.

Ellen was at Hickstead competing on the other days, not sure why she wasn't in the derby though.

She was in Scotland at the Royal Highland on the Saturday jumping in the Grand Prix

She was at Hickstead, they showed her watching the Derby with the OH.

Thanks! Typical it was the bits that i missed on tv.

Yup she jumped at the Royal Highland Show on Friday & Saturday.

I heard on the grape vine that she has had a bit of a falling out with her dad and has been thrown out the house/yard??!!
Dont know if there is any truth in it but did see her jumping at the Highland on Saturday and she has been up jumping in Scotland quite a lot over the last few months.

Buting wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

Buting - That would make sense as the rumour mill round my neck of the woods says she has fallen out with Dad and is now based near me so closeish to Scotland.

Snap Beatrice, I've heard she's looking for a yard up here after a falling out with dad. That's come from a very close source.

They asked steven about her on sky sports and he said she has decided to go her own way and set up on her own.
