With downpours mid-month, the horses were able to use the grass gallops
Some older horses were schooled
As well as going out every day

And we had an interview with Mrs T.
"Angie is the power behind the throne," said Mark. "There is always a good woman behind a good man and in this case we have an extra special one. She helps so much in so many ways - with the owners and horses in the yard. She is a brilliant judge of a yearling and is such a tremendous help at the sales. Both studs are run outstandingly under her care - and this is on top of trying to keep me and the family in order!"
