You are my champion, my horse riding hero. We met, you and I at a hunt. Janet Grant introduced us. We drank champagne and Aldaniti loved the strawberries. You were such a gentleman I hoped you would ask me out. I'm sad you didn't.

I trained two flappers, which is flat, we rode out every day, light canters, a trip to the beach once a week. Very relaxed, the horses were handicappers, so after three races they were fit, well handicapped, and both won creditably.

I was temporary head girl at a small NH yard, the horses were worked hard, though that was road work and grass field stuff, when trainer went away for a few days the staff refused to ride out in case of injury. The trainer came back, horses were groomed to a polish, looked super, and we won three races in the next two weeks!

I think keeping the stable small is a good plan for yourself, its much easier to keep everything in your head, and have tight control over finance plus staffing. Good staff will need accommodation, and the rest. When I worked at Jackdaws the owner was a businessman, and he had a totally realistic approach, employed a trainer, good staff accommodation, salaries, promotion, canteen etc. What a difference when i went to work at another traditional yard, it was next door to slavery, no holiday pay, no overtime. I discovered all the rest of the yard had twenty minutes for breakfast every day, not me. I didnt know cos I was out exercising the horses on roadwork! Then i was asked to come in early in the afternoon to he,p supervise new staff, so I only had 2 hours off during the day. Normal hours started at six o clock and finished at six o clock. Absolute scandal when I think about it. One week I worked seventy hours, thats ten hours per day!

@ladygardener1003 ай бұрын
If your buying horses at that sort of price, its much easier for an owner to take a punt with a horse, whereas if the horse costs £100K even wealthy owners will want to think about it, have it vetted, X rays, all the rest of it.

Gay did ride well, and I could understand that she must have quite an education. Sexism and bullying was rife up tp the late 1990's

Im.a national hunt man through and through but love Sir Mark. He rode at Wye racecourse and came back from a terrible injury. A good coursing man and game fowl man too. He speaks so much sense. He should be in charge of British racing.
