It’s great to see Tankers Town, Sharon Hunt’s former four-star eventer, giving a helping hand in getting young horses going
Loved this today ! Young Aimee rides old Tankers Town & gives old me a lead on young Kevin! These 2 horses are so similar in how they approach the fence – oh I do hope it’s a good sign for the future please Kevin!!

Chilli Morning foal problems!
I went up to the yard today to pat Chilli Knight, and spent 5 minutes with Chilli’s Prince until one of the girls told me I was with the wrong one. All full brothers of these 2, and THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME! It’s not my fault, I do love them! https://t.co/pT3SgC1OEL
