We had the most tremendous weekend of racing at Cheltenham. There was a huge crowd and such a wonderful atmosphere. It was lovely to see Philip Hobbs win six races over the three days. Not only is he a thoroughly nice person but he is also one of my Equine Fitness customers. He is totally understated and doesn't seem to get the publicity that the other trainers get but is clearly extremely good at what he does.

The point to point awards ceremony was a really jolly event and fantastically hosted by Carl Evans and Luke Harvey who make a great duo. Once again, it made us realise how lucky we are to be involved with such a sport which includes such lovely people.

It was also very nice to have the whole weekend of from horses, so thank you very much to the team at home for making that possible. We now feel refreshed and ready for anything....!?  ...Which is just as well as we were rather short staffed this morning and each did three big lots around the grass field which is a stamina test in itself. We were delighted with the way all the horses went and will be planning our campaign shortly, probably starting at Barbury Castle on the 7th December.
