We jumped Kalmo Bay this morning and thankfully his fall hasn't upset his jumping as he jumped beatuifully for me - very happy with him :)
18th December 2011
Not a great day today at Whitfield!! Kalmo Bay was travelling extremely well when falling on the last curcuit (his first ever fall in his racing career - and hopefully his last!!!) he has come home safe and sound and is happy in his stable. Cheapside was travelling well (2nd most of the way round) but was pulled up three from home as he seemed to hit a brick wall. He is also safe and sound in his stable and we will be trying him in a tounge tie next race
17th December 2011
Well that time of year has come around again!! Our first race of the season is tomorrow at Whitfield with Kalmo Bay (ridden by Lorna Brooke) and Cheapside (ridden by Nick Slatter). They have both worked very well at hone and are ready for tomorrow's race. Fingers crossed for a safe run for them both!! A big thank you to the horses sponsors - The Kinmel Arms Llandyrnog and Equi-balance

Tyrnog were very lucky to have some guests staying with us last Wednesday evening. 8 mares, which had been brought at Newmarket, were stranded in Holyhead due to bad weather and ferry's not running. We had a phone call asking us if we had any stabling for them over night, so 5pm last Wednesday we had 8 stunnning horses staying with us and their drivers....just a shame that they couldn't stay
