Quite the stark contrast to Blenheim Palace today for the babies as they headed out to their last one day of 2023 in the less than immaculate grounds of Moreton Morrell Agricultural College.  Clearly 'mowing grass'  hasn't been covered in...

No autumn sunshine this morning, a cool and cloudy day for cross country with rain on the horizon.  Jonelle and Fernhill Kankan set out as the  pathfinder and it was apparent from the first combination that Kankan was a bit...

Typically September misty mornings have been the order of the week so far at Blenheim but luckily it was clear blue skies at 8am this morning when Jonelle was first to go into the main arena on Fernhill Kankan.  With...

Quite the roll of honour at the 8/9 year old championships with Team Price having no less than 6 horses to run.  They have always tried to maintain a strong sense of continuity and whilst retiring 5 star superstars at...

Just two for Jonelle today and a late start for Tim with Dromgurrihy Gold ( Dara) so he did some jobs at home before driving up for his afternoon dressage. As he arrived ((admittedly a little later than planned due...

Just Tim and Vitali for Burghley this year...how we miss the Classic Moet's (Molly), the Ringwood Sky Boy's (Ozzie) and Xavier Fair's (Hugo) on days like today.  True Burghley horses are so very rare but Vitali has already proved he...

Just Tim on a whistle stop early morning raid on  Wellington on Sunday with The Highlander (Ivar) for the jump phases of his 2 star short.  Ever the pro, at just 6 years old, and having been dragged out of...

All the young horses out for the Friday of Wellington and a first time at International level for The Highlander (Ivar) as he got to strut his stuff in a big arena in the massive 2*S section. He held his...
