He will take a large stable of roughly thirty horses for the 4 day meeting from 10-13 March and is very hopeful of picking up even more winners at this year’s event. The competition is very heavy this year and there are numerous Horses that are more than capable of winning the event this year.

Having your horse secured with a set of crossties that fasten to the halter from opposite sides at about normal head height is really helpful as this leaves the rider with both hands to work with the tack.
Don’t just throw your saddle on and ride. First check your horse over for any injuries that might have happened since your last visit. Run your hand down each of your horse’s legs. Pick our each hoof, checking for stones and any soreness. Doing this will prevent the chance of riding with a rock in your horse’s foot and risking lameness. It also a good opportunity to check out your horse’s hoofs and whether his shoes are secure. Once you’ve finished with the legs and hooves, the next step is to give your horse’s torso a good brushing. Ther are a variety of brushes you can use, but the goal is to get rid of all of the loose, dead hair and any dirt or other debris that could irritate your horse when you place the saddle and saddle pad on.
