This week has been rather a whirlwind. Tuesday saw Simon Hall and myself taking an hour flight across to Ireland to Goresbridge sales. A whole new experience for me having never been to a sale, 300 horses a day going under the hammer for 10 days solid. Sadly we only had time to spend the one day there (Wednesday), however it was a massive success. We found a lovely 16.1hh bay gelding 3/4 TB who we have named Dougal. He arrived Friday having had the biggest adventure of his life travelling 6 hrs to the sales from the yard where he was bred, then to a holding yard, then the ferry trip over and finally a day on the lorry until he was delivered. He will have a couple of days to catch up with himself before I get on and ride him.Very exciting for both Simon and myself and fingers crossed he will be one for the future. He has a lot of character already showing through and loves attention.
