t is that time of the year again, I head off to the UK to see my lovely homebred horse Quincey , who is being produced in the very capable hands of Polly Stockton.
Arrived on the 4th August  to dreary weather and rain ... surprise , surprise !!!
Staying a  few days with good friend and client Jo Clifford.  
Neil Spratt rides Jo's  two  NZ horses which are looking and going great. Noted has just done his first 3* at Barbury with Neil very nicely and Elton has stepped up to Intermediate with ease. Neils has a super team of horses and a great set up with his wife Pip and kids Maisey and Chester.
Headed to Gatcombe on the Friday  to catch up with Polly's  team   and Quincey . The sun finally came out - yeah  !!
Bring on the tan ... well can only hope.
 Quincey was in Novice Championship and performed very well   in top  company , so we are thrilled.  Polly rounded off a super weekend winning the Intermediate Championship with Rooney ( Westwood Mariner ) and 4th World Cup on Mossy ( Westwood Poser ). 
Caught up with loads of NZ riders and friends so was great.
Monday now and raining again...........
