SION HILL getting her 5 🌟 treatment from Maxine at Hunts Hill Chartered Physiotherapist
This is a crucial part to her recovery and to keep her feeling well, she is going in all the right directions with minimal trigger points. Great news to keep her hacking and working to build all that muscle up 💪🏽 🏇🏿

Today we have had some fantastic news for SION HILL 🌟🌟 she can now be bought back into ridden work to start building her muscles up 🥳🥳
Grace is having a long road to recovery after fracturing her hip during a run in January and she (and us) are super lucky to have a fantastic owner who keeps giving her every chance!
Monthly visits from the vet have involved, box rest, slowly building walker work, turnout in the round pen and now the news that she can begin some trotting!
With all of this she is feeling fresh and raring to go so for damage limitation to both herself and rider some sedalin may be required 🙈🙈

Watch this space 💪🏽💪🏽

MEET THE TEAM pt.3
Becca - Work Rider ✅- Racing groom ✅- Yard Manager ❓ 😂
Becca looks after the yard and the horses daily from mucking out and maintenance to exercising, grooming and organising routine appointments for all the horses.
Becca grew up through pony club eventing and team chasing and got the racing bug from a local yard under rules, she gained some experience in different big yards in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and also rode trackwork out in NZ 🇳🇿 for trainer Michael Pitman.

Becca also turns all the horses out for the races plaiting them making sure they all shine. It doesn’t stop there when we get back to the yard after those wet muddy days she is responsible for all the cleaning of the tack and lorry for a quick turn around to be out again!
Her favourite thing to do is definitely schooling or a work day especially when we head out and about somewhere new!
FAVE HORSE 🌟 MILAN NATIVE, since we lost him LADY LAMORNA

He has been around many yards in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and Ireland🇮🇪 and brings that knowledge forward to his own!

With the Pointing season coming to a close - along with lots of stable and field maintenance - we are keeping ourselves ticking with breakers and schooling livery!

As you can see he settled in fast!!

Keep tuned for updates!

BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND 🥂

Today we headed to Eyton Races Shropshire. SOFANA ran herself a great race in the young horse maiden gaining a huge amount of confidence and experience in the field to finish a credible 4th.
We learnt that she loved the ground - this was just her second start and as a 5YO with a great attitude we are excited for what the future may hold for her!! 🤞🌟

CHIC AVENUE ran in the maiden at Dingley on Sunday, this is her first run with us and we held a question mark over her staying ability which she confirmed, still some more runs for the mare before the end of the season but she pulled up safe and came home happy and sound.

GET ON THE YAGER also ran at Dingley and is now officially retired he went out there for some fun before he finds a new forever home and was certainly still pleased to be running but the old lad can’t keep pace with the young guns now days. He also came home safe and ready to learn whatever his new job may be! ❤️

Unfortunately no outing for the team on the weekend as Edgecote was abandoned - here’s Chic day dreaming about what could have been! 🙈⭐️
On to the next we head as we’ve made a number of entries to get a run this weekend! 🤞

22/04/2024

We’ve been a little quiet online so let’s have a small round up of the season so far… it’s been a challenging one!

🟢 MILAN NATIVE placed 🥈 at Brocklesby
🟢 GET ON THE YAGER placed 🥉 at Thorpe at 14 years of age and loving it!
🟢 SOFANA placed 4th in her debut at Garthorpe
🟢 DOWNBYDUKESMEADOW showed us some fantastic jumping and retired sound just let down by his wind
🟢 some super promising Maiden mares in training prepped for their debuts and ready to continue into next season 🤞
🟢 training and yard routines falling into place
🟢 new owners on board
🟢 every day we have spent pointing has been great fun regardless! 🍻

Just as everyone else we have had to battle the relentless weather ☔️ which means we’ve not had nearly as many runners as we should have. Unfortunately we hit some bumps along the way, out of our control - DOWNBYDUKESMEADOW retiring with bad wind, SION HILL injured whilst running well but she is recovering beautifully and will hopefully be back in the future, and the loss of a yard favourite in MILAN NATIVE following a fatal injury during work and HERE HE COMES not running to his usual potential however we have had him scoped and look to be back on the way up with him 💪🏽

Some really exciting runners during the next 7 weeks are still to come who have all been enjoying their schooling and galloping away days 🤞
We’ll then be ticking over with some breakers to keep us busy for the summer!

Here’s some pics of our team so far 🏇🏿

Welcome to my Point to point page. Training, racing and owning racehorses has always been my passion, follow me to share the journey.

Yesterday GET ON THE YAGER ran a credible race at Charm Park, pulling up 2 out. Definitely enjoying the spotlight for a change as he spends most the time leading the babies.
