Spring 2005

Kefir D' Angron. Keef for short, has left, hopefully for a new career in dressage and a little jumping. Although Keef needs no introduction on how to jump, as he found this a source of entertainment when left to his own devices in the paddock. On a regular basis could be found in the adjoining paddock, and on one occasion had jumped a 5 bar gate just to prove that he could.
He has only been with us just over 3 months, and within in a week of his arrival we took him hunting. With the impending ban looming we took every opportunity to hunt as much as possible. Kefir became a very good hunter in a very short time.

Lambourn Open Day. Good Friday.
David and Kate had their first visit to Lambourn with Tessa, and thoroughly enjoyed themselves visiting all the yards. David's aim was to give every horse in Lambourn a polo and Kate would have brought more home than we could have possibly coped with.
The afternoons entertainment was fun, and the day was topped off with meeting the lovely Elaine and Stan Mellor and their family next to the main arena, for cappuccino's and chocolate cookies. A smashing way to end a great day out.
We purchased another limited edition signed print of Best Mate, larger than last years, which we raffled again at Cotley Hunt's Point to Point. A big thank you to Sue Livinstone for having it in the Cotley Inn in the weeks leading up to the P to P and raising a good chunk of the profit. Total raised £432.00 the print was won by a Mrs Reed from Honiton. And thank you also to Neil Randsford and Cotley Hunt for allowing us to do this fund raiser.
