Setting off again...

Dan and I are off again today.. Just on our own this time, Angela can't come.  That's a shame. She's not only great company, and a great friend, but a wonderful assistant too.  On the way there, our journey is broken into 2 more manageable legs when driving on one's own.  This morning, after dropping the kids to school and feeding Freelance, Dan and I drive to Sydney.  The get away has been hampered slightly by Jessica getting her 1st Principal's Award at school at Assembly at 9.30am..  Of course I will go for that, but be anxious about missing out on a Special Pony having a swim in the pool, but fingers crossed I will slide in just in time.  You can only hope.

Tomorrow morning I hope to have another special little session with the Special Pony.  Then back for breakfast and a shower, to make myself presentable, and then off to Rosehill (did I say that right?), it's George Main Stakes day.  Odd, sure that's usually at Randwick!  Oh, that's right, Randwick is undergoing major surgery, and will hopefully be ok in time for Epsom Day.

On Sunday morning I am supposed to be heading for the green and peaceful paddocks of Scone, or Murrurundi to be exact, as I have another stallion shoot on.  This one's pleasing, at Emirates, who are a new client, and I'll stay on the farm, and the weather outlook is great.  Hot, but great!  The heat (28) will come as a shock, this Canberra Gal hasn't endured more than 16 degrees for more than a handful of days for the past 4 months, Canberra has been v cold!!!

So, in addition to the 1900km Dan, Angela and I travelled at the end of August, and the 600 odd kms we travelled last weekend, this weekend Dan and I are doing another 1500km I expect.  It's a long way, his speakers are getting more and more worn, but there are ponies at the end of it.  And mostly they are the thing that sustains me at the moment.  

And I did check my oil and water this morning.  I am sure someone would be pleased about that.

The Legacy of Eight Carat: From the Vault Volume I

Image
We have been back in lockdown here in Victoria. Lockdown 5.0 to be precise and as a result it made us go back to feeling like sad sacks.  After having seen off Lockdown 4.0 a teeny tiny bit triumphantly, where we saw off both Delta and Kappa variants (evil beasts that they are - curse you stinky COVID - curse you), we had literally only just gotten back to work before being very suddenly plunged back into Lockdown 5.0 after the visit of those very nice removalists.   'Thanks very much!!!!' we all shouted indignantly!!!!  A key difference with Lockdown 5.0 was that half the country also into lockdown at the same time which made us feel slightly less sad.  The Victorian Government doesn't muck about anymore when it comes to outbreaks.  Their reaction is swift and severe and not at all namby pamby.  I just wish the same logic would be applied to Sydney which continues to deteriorate, much to my dismay.  This week we took our first tentative steps out of Lockdown 5.0, hurrah f

Vale Sadler's Wells - champion stallion dies in Ireland.

Image
One of the most important racehorses, and later stallions of our time, the great Sadler's Wells died in Ireland on the evening of Tuesday 26 April 2011.  He died at Coolmore's Tipperary Stud in Ireland, his home since his retirement in 1984.  The stallion was retired from breeding in 2008. His legacy worldwide is immense.  He has left sons and daughters,  and three of his stallion sons, in Galileo, Montjeu and High Chaparral, are leading stallions in the Northern Hemisphere.  In Australia, Galileo and Montjeu had less success, however the impact of High Chaparral was immediate, and immense.  While the horse still has to repeat the success he achieved with his New Zealand bred runners, from which the Group 1 winners, and champion So You Think, were conceived, High Chaparral is still leading the Australian General Sires Title with only a couple of months of racing left. In Europe, Montjeu and Galileo have both sired Epsom Derby winners, in Authorized and New Approach respective

The physical drain of riding horses

Image
Most people agree that the life of a jockey is a difficult one.  There are a handful that rise to the top, and do extremely well out of the Sport of Kings.  The vast majority however struggle with their weights, and do their best to avoid and/or overcome injury.  Anyone who has ever been pelted off a horse would know that it doesn't tickle!  And of course the older you get, the more it hurts!  We used to fang around on our ponies, bareback, in headstalls and leadropes, never wearing a riding hat.  Completely fearless, and I am sure that on the odd occasion I parted company with my horse, I used to bounce.  In fact I rarely used to fall off, unless the horse came down as well, I guess all those years of galloping around bareback meant my balance and ability to swing my body with the horse was pretty good.  I'd like to say that I could still ride the same, but age and the maturing mind catches up, and you start thinking of the consequences of 'what if I come off', which
