Joe Whitaker racing at Newcastle

[neddy man]

He is in the 4:10 race tomorrow (Tuesday 28th) something he has always fancied doing since he was young, should be interesting. Certainly different to Grand Prix showjumping.

Joe is Ellen's brother. I think John is a bit past his racing day!
Anyway it'll be good to see how Joe gets on.

It is hard to keep up, there's just so many of them! Basically they're both niece and nephew of John and Michael.

I assume you mean their offspring, rather than siblings in your 2nd sentence.

 

[neddy man]

Bit of a coincidence but a friend lost her horse of a lifetime a year ago, rushed into the next and on realising he wasn't for her, sold him and the horse is now in training with Tjade (not Ladronne but Pat). The coincidence is that Tjade keeps his horses on a yard where another friend keeps hers. Different counties so not close by. I know they say the horse world is small but...

Well it's obvious he is an amateur ... agricultural is an understatement! It's the pony club kicking that cracked me up!
