Its Official. Vintage Clouds has retired. Its the end of a Vintage Era. What a wonderful servant hes been to his owner Trevor Hemmings, to us @suesmithracing and all those who’ve ridden him, in races and at home. We’re all so proud of all he has been able to achieve. #SSRacing🐎
Morning
I wonder who'll join the #GrandNational roll of honour🤔 Perhaps Snow Leopardess or the Longhouse Poet🤔
Interested to see how Cheltenham winners Flooring Porter & Edwardstone fare
Other races: Cap du Nord & Party Business
Safe home all🤞
It’s been a long but wonderful day due to our Rajasinghe filly hitting the ground in the early hours of this morning. Out of our beautiful mare, Piddie’s Power 🧡 @NatStudStallion
Did you know that stroking a horse reduces your heart rate? Much better for you than taking beta blockers. We welcome many people who don't want to ride but just be with the horses. We offer tea with a pony too now if you know anyone that would like a hairy cuddle and a cuppa 🐴
Our lovely mare Fiveandtwenty runs @HerefordRaces tomorrow. A tricky small field but hopefully she likes the ground and runs well. Good luck and safe race girl @MprUpdates@donaldmccain
Another of our rehomed horses is doing well: Last weekend he came home with ribbons in both Prelim & Novice Dressage as well as Combined Training, qualified for the Trailblazers Champs in both Dressage & CT & also the RoR Champs in Aug - Novice dressage. #BerkeleyStreet
Well Louie, what I do is, a tiny bit of conditioning mousse, then the blow dryer on full, while Toby frantically back combs it. I'll get him to do yours, don't worry!

Morning😊
A familiar scene throughout the racing world of horses heading back to the yard/stables/barn after morning exercise.
(If I remember rightly, Clive Brittain's string @NewmarketGallop would exercise as early as 3 or 3.30am)
