I am delighted to announce I will be relocating to Chantilly, France next month.

I am very grateful to my owners, supporters and my all important team for being so supportive with the move 🇫🇷🤞🏼

[Nick Luck @nickluck]

In a week where Jack Hobbs and
Pethers Moon have been prolific winner producing machines at a good level, it's so disheartening not to see any appetite for GB bred foals today. We must start to see beyond the obvious. If end users engage earlier, they will find value.

[Adrien Cugnasse @AdrienCUGNASSE]

All over the world, owner-breeders are disappearing. There is ONE exception: French Jumps. If you look at the 2024 fields of big French NH races, they now represent 55% of runners. It's TWICE more than 10 years ago. A massive change in the 🇫🇷NH game.
