Been a while since I have blogged and in that time we have had one break in at the yard, one mild choke and a vet who refused to come out because he had not been out to see me in two years, a slightly fat leg meaning a couple of weeks off work and some confused horses who have been busy growing winter coats and now think they have moved to Australia and it is summer again.
Big news however is that a friend and I are currently exploring the possibility of setting up a racehorse partnership (www.epds-racing.co.uk). JTB is a keen race goer and sponsor and asked me to be involved in as he knew I was horsey. He hadn't quite expected my 'I don't know what I think about racing, I don't like the conditions they are kept in or the way they get chucked on the scrap heap, often on a one way trip to Exeter' outburst. Once I had told him that Exeter wasn't a favourite holiday destination for retired horses he agreed that the welfare of the horse should come first and that I could create the shortlist of trainers. My shortlist is very short, in fact there is really only one trainer on it, who just happens to train barefoot so exciting times ahead, we could have our very own barefoot race horse running in National Hunt races soon.
It will be a partnership horse so hoping some like minded individuals will join in.
