After a lot of thought and discussion we have decided to sell Rodger (Lenherr Rocco). He is such a lovely and special boy but unfortunately to achieve my goals of being on a British team in the future he is not insane and wild enough to make the grade!!!!!!!!!!! It was not an easy decision to make but every cloud has a silver lining as he has found the most amazing new home.......he has been bought by Olympic Para Rider Ricky Balshaw who got on with him brilliantly when he came to try him, Rodge looked after him and i think they have a bright future ahead of them!!! London Olympics 2012 beckons for Rodge and Ricky.....sooooooo exciting!

 

That now leaves a free stable to fill and it hasnt taken long to find a set of new shiny hooves.......Ally (Farramir) will arrive in the Uk in the next 10 days from Switzerland!! Last week we made a whistle stop visit to my trainer and good friend Tiggy Lenherr to try Ally. He is a beautiful 6yr old black boy with fantastic breeding and movement to match.....i cant wait to get him over and hit the competition scene!!!!!!!! Will put up pics when he arrives and keep you posted on how he is settling in!!

 

Tomorrow Maverick (London Pride) is going to visit Spencer Wilton for his first outing out and his first proper taste of being a grown up! Emily will be riding him as she has her first competition with him next week so it practice practice pratice!!! Fingers crossed he behaves and its really nice to be able to concentrate on him for a bit.
