What a beautiful day at Aston – perfect ground and although short, a very nice intermediate track. It was nice as I had 3 lovely double clears, just Ricky having 1 rail which wasn’t really his fault and then going beautifully across country. After such a dreadful week of weather at Badminton it was lovely to be out eventing on a real summers day.
Silver was a star – 2nd in her intermediate section. Alex and Womble had a nice prep run for Tattersalls, both are feeling fit and well.
It was the first day out with the new lorry and it was great to have something more convenient to work from. It’ll take a little while to get it all organised to get everything how we want it but once we get that sorted it will be great.
Back at Aston tomorrow with Dotty, Sparkles, Gus and Hayley with Piggy before I head off to the US teaching for the weekend. The next 3 and 4 stars are coming up very fast and I’m looking forward to having another go at a three day.
Big thanks to my wonderful wife Jenny AND Emily who keep everything going when we’re in this extremely busy patch.
Cheers
Bill
