It has taken time for the yard to come to terms with the loss of Nastasiya, hence the silence.
A young filly she started off very protective of herself and was one who had to have a headcollar on to handle her, she gradually understood our ways and became the sweetest, gentle girl who loved human company.
Wearing her heart on her sleeve in every race she had ability and was unlucky not to win with us. Travelling to challenge for the lead she had an awkward fall at Kelso last Sunday, and despite cantering past the stands she had incurred an irreparable fracture to her shoulder.
Everyone who looked after Nastasiya in her short time here has been affected by her loss. We are reassured that she was a happy horse looked after at each turn but able to enjoy her freedom, but we will miss her immeasurably.
Our heartfelt love to all her owners in Value Racing in particular James C who leads the syndicate
Apple Away decided to give poor Reece the run around this morning as she didn't fancy coming in from the field! Hannah took the video and you can hear her laughing the whole way through ๐๐๐๐
Ahoy Senor managed to get hold of his bucket this morning and had great fun swinging it about before throwing across the yard to Hannah's feet.
P.s. Please excuse the bad quality of the video - that's iphones for you ๐
Our good friend David Lawson brought his drone to the yard and has taken amazing footage of second lot at Arlary earlier this week.
Heading out, up and down the gallop, home and cooling off.
Great work David (Multi talented, David also transports for us) and thank you
Small steps... teaching three year old flat horse, Mix Des Gris to jump.
Poles, jump, two jumps, canter to two jumps
Love the way he works it out, and gets up at the first one last time.
Small steps but he is working it out.
