We had Yogi Breisner in this morning to give the Cheltenham horses a little pop before tomorrow


The first one round was Toby on Popaway - sadly Joe Docker, the jockey on Popaway tomorrow couldn't make it but Toby did a great job in his absence. Peter was able to film this in slow motion. She was pretty keen but got into a nice rhythm in the end.


Jake (Dr Kingsley) and Peter - Yogi said it was "Poetry in motion"... let's hope that poetry continues around Cheltenham tomorrow evening...

                                                        We Never Give Up and Toby

Yogi then gave Peter and Toby a pre Cheltenham motivational talk and I have to say that you can see why the British Eventing team did so well when he was their Chef d'equipe . It made the hairs on the back of your neck stand up and put the boys completely and utterly 'in the zone'.

I'm not sure how I feel about tomorrow. Last year was so utterly perfect with a double on my Birthday with Dr K and Popaway that nothing can compete with that and I almost don't want the magic to end. I feel as though we have been so lucky in the past at Cheltenham that something should go wrong because we don't deserve such luck. If we get four clear rounds anything else will be a massive bonus. Please let them all come home safely and I will be a very happy bunny!
