I forgot to mention that I have taken up riding out racehorses in the morning when I can. I do so for Chris Gordon who trains national hunt horses and pointers 15 mins away. I am trying do help three times a week when I am not to busy, but this is not always possible! I very much enjoy riding out for Chris as I so approve of his training that includes hacking and canterwork round the hilly local farmland rather than boring the horses (and me) to death up and down the gallops! We also get breakfast after first string (I usually ride thrree lots) which I always look forward to! In the evening Tom came to stay and we went to the Tedworth Hunt reel in Malborough where I had a great (slightly sweaty time) spinning madly with some fun friends.
