11-10-25 Damerham Diamond Jubilee… still with Team Fi Miller … but has a new jockey hence why no competition updates as yet until they get more experience together. She is being aimed for GN trials in April - so we will see how she gets on and cheer her on with every hoof step they take!

Lots of people comment on my boys being together … they think stallions should be kept isolated and not learn to integrate with each other then cover mares in-hand for safety!

I lost one of my best stallions to a broken pastern joint and my vet immediately blamed it on a mare kick! It wasn’t at all.

Yes Respect them but don’t keep them locked up in a box either!
