Surprise phone call for Liz Taylor!

All the horses are now on their winter break so the yard has gone a bit quiet for now.  However, that all changed the other night whilst I was happily watching some TV when I got a telephone call inviting Falaina and I out to Dubai for the HH Shk Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Edurance Cup - a 160km*** held on January 12th!

As Falaina enjoyed the Presidents Cup 160km*** so much last year (finishing in 18th place) we accepted and her and my work has now been stepped up to ensure she will be fit enough for the race.  It's quite difficult training in our winter climate for a race in desert conditions.  We will not clip her until the day before she travels and we train her with really thick exercise blankets on to try to get her climatised to hot conditions.  We fly out on 3rd January - so watch this space!

Merry Christmas!
