Rather late - sorry! - but I notice that the owner of the wonderful Red House Zinderella has just joined AL, and wanted to congratulate her on her success at HOYS! She was 5th in the ridden mares - an amazing achievement for a true amateur owner-rider!
Ah, we may see you up there on the ridden judges panel, you won't be the first amateur owner rider who got to HOYS and then progressed. Congratulations.
And just to congratulate also the breeder of Red House Zinderella, Gudrun von Tevenar. She has a small stud in Sussex and breeds friendly, sound, beautiful, athletic Arabs.
Some of you may remember Red House Ziona - the dam of Zinderella - who was also a prolific winner under saddle.
Thank you everyone for all your kind words. We really have ended the season on a high this year and the icing on the cake has been all of your replies. I want to stay up on this cloud forver.
