An every day account of a small racing yard and the highs and lows....

View the Dance and El Raven finish like a train to come second!
Great day with El coming second in a ten runner race. Fantastic result!
View the Dancer and El
What makes it more special is that Dancer has been ridden by all the top jockeys and hasn't performed, and was seen as a "useless horse" to quote someone who will remain nameless and now with the right treatment is showing her true potential. Well done El!
Sadly still no sigh of Spud.......
Pauline has been race riding her own horses in point to points for 15 years and is now training with Doug. Pauline has recently got her trainers permit. They are both passionate about National Hunt racing and achieving maximum potential from their horses in the best possible way. This is why ‘Equine Fitness’ is a very exciting new business for them.
In 2006 Doug eventually plucked up the courage (it only took 7 years!) to propose to Pauline whilst they were on holiday in the Maldives and they married in the Lake District in June 2007.
