Also. I’ve tried to look up Gays crashing fall at Brighton. Can anyone remember the year or other references I can check out? Thank you in advance.

Does she still have a " No lose" betting account with Victor Chandler?

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!

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

I wonder why no one would ever send you a good horse?

[@ladygardener100]

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.
