Lincoln


It has been a crazy few days!

Friday saw team Collett at Cheltenham parading Kauto Star before the Gold Cup – he was really well behaved and seemed to know exactly where he was.  I am so pleased for Team Henderson – what an amazing week they had.   Mr. Henderson kindly lets me use his gallops with my big boys and he occasionally uses the school here at the yard for lessons with Yogi so I follow the team closely. 

We headed north to Lincoln this weekend – good shout as it turned out with Aldon being cancelled for the first time in over 20 years.  The team at Lincoln did an amazing job to keep going in the rain and snow and I ended up running all of mine. 

Rayef was 1st winnerwinnerchickendinner !! he was very cheeky in his dressage...Scored his first ever 3!!! But to be fair he did have to contend with snow during the test.  But the rest was lovely and he scored 25! He then jumped a lovely double clear...  It is great to have him back out after his minor injury last year and we now head to    His Badminton entry is now in. 

My good run continued with Noble Bestman was 2nd, Controe was 6th and Allora was 7th.... All have been fab 

Heading home now and we leave for Fointenbleu on Tuesday
