Plans for the Winter

It's getting to that time again....Most of the horses will be having some time off in various fields around Wiltshire for a few weeks. Some heading back to owners and others to go and remember they are horses in herds (with no shoes on). When they come back in they will be attending British Dressage and BSJA at the usual hunting grounds. A couple will have a few days out hunting but only in the fair weather!! Jimmy continues to make fantastic progress and is now back trotting. I am very excited about next year now it is in site again. Jimmy is still king of the yard and loves all the attention.
I head off to Mauritius with my Brother and Mother for a couple of relaxing weeks, diving, sunbathing and of course enjoying the odd cocktail here and there. Then it's back to reality and the hard winter grind. I am really looking forward to next season, I have some fantastic horses and a great team behind me so fingers crossed for another successful season.
Finally and most importantly I must thank my amazing owners, Mr and Mrs Wookey, Mr Simon Hall, Mr Gareth Powell, more recently Victoria Delville-Cutts and my Parents. They are all extremely supportive and without them I would be nowhere.
 I must also thank my sponsors who support me and the horses too; Kate Negus Saddlery for the most beautiful leatherwork in the whole world, Amtrust Equine Insurance for all the help and support, Global Herbs and Baileys Horse Feeds for keeping the horses looking the best on the circuit with their expertise and knowledge on the minor details that, without doubt, make all the difference, Prolite Products for supplying me with boots and pads which give me the peace of mind that the horses are protected to the maximum, The Horse Laundry for keeping my rugs looking professional, The Freeman Borthers for the amazing haylage, PAC Ltd for the support and finally newest sponsors Devoucoux for the beautiful saddles I am able to ride in and Soteria Consulting Ltd who are our newest additions and will be supporting Lucie McNichol Eventing.
Thank you very much to all and I will be keeping you updated with the winter excitement!!
Lucie
