Mark, Robert, Cuthbert ah brilliant, my aunty lives in upstate NY, long lake. Wish you the best of luck over there. Yeah it’s fairly difficult alright in Ireland, but I’ll stay hopeful because I’d love to stay in Ireland and breed and produce horses here and give it a good go. Also just want to say thanks for these videos and the content and knowledge of the “ golden age of Showjumping” that you have. I love looking at this type of stuff and reading about it aswell the era that my dad and granda would always talk about, so thank you 🙏
