We had our open day yesterday and the sun shone on us - Lots of lovely people who all seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves as they were reluctant to go home! The horses looked amazing and totally down to Lucy Burton with the help of her Mum, Jane. Claire and Ben were also a huge help.

Babbiloora - Velvet Dove's 6 year old filly by Pasternak. She was second last time out and we have high hopes for her this season
|
|
Glory Hunter - An Intermediate horse. Novice ridden and unlucky not to have won more races |
|
Velvet Cloud - Tiny but a heart of a lion. Will be kept for novice rider. |

Top Garry. Five year old. He won his maiden first time out and is set for a great season. |
|
Don't Budge Me - leased by Clare Angus and is going to give her the first win! |
