I can't believe it's the end of October! This year seems to have flown by it only seems like yesterday that David and I moved into Petwick Stables and started up our business what a great time we have had and I feel very proud of our achievements with our horses and riders. 

I am particularly proud of the fact that I have trained 2 riders in 2 different disciplines (one of which only rides at the weekend) to advanced level. Claire and Nerro went out and won at their first attempt in advanced with a percentage of 66% and Sarah and William having jumped a double clear round Gatcomeb 2* went on to complete both horse and rider's 1st advanced event at Little Downham with a clear xc.

All my other riders have done so well with various wins and places at dressage and eventing venues. For those of you who knew 'Wally' and have followed his progress since David and I broke him in and sold him on to a showing career, what a thrill that he was reserve champion hack at HOYS! One of David's 2yr olds that he broke in and did all the pre-training with is also going well in training with Marco Botti at Newmarket.

So all in all a great 8 months, and I can't wait to get stuck in to everyone's training over the winter and step out next season, I only hope my horse Rudi comes good who at the moment is turned away down in Devon with a splint, roll on next year.

Happy training and happy horses
