As we head into 2012 all the horses are fit and well.

The youngsters Rosscarberys Fair Day and Step Along Style have grown up so much over the winter and are as exciting as ever so I am sure they will relish the next level to Novice!!

House of Tudor and Billy Bounce are going really well. I am looking forward to eventing them again this season up another level with one stars in sight.

Miss Caruso and Idol Hero have had their first proper gallop and both show relentless enthusiasm for the job.

Tic Tac is also fit and well and back into consistent work after a few niggles last season.

The Secret Weapon also returns to competition after a year out which we are all looking forward to, although we did enter him into a sneaky open novice at Whatley Manor International Horse Trials in September where he came 2nd!

Another piece of good news is the planned return of Poilu to eventing. The injury he sustained in May 2010 at Houghton has healed itself really well and he’s full of beans!!
