Another Season Ahead

Spring is definitely here, the new hedges have arrived and Richie is ready for some action.

He came third in a flat race the other week and is racing again next Thursday. First time out on grass 2000 m on the flat.

On Wednesday Rene schooled him over the new fake hedges for the first time and apparently he really took a pull and jumped well. I couldn't be there as was preparing for my last exam this spring, but there's picture evidence...



The Easyfix hedges are meant to be maintenance free and apparently they don't flip over so we'll avoid situations like this. But the brush is quite short so the danger is that they'll hit it if they're not careful. And then this could happen.

Not sure whether I am looking forward to the jump season or not really...
