It has been almost two years since Before Bruce joined us as a full time resident. The plan had been to log his retraining on at least a monthly basis, the best laid plans!
When he arrived fresh from his Newmarket training yard we had to consider his and our future. Having a fit young ex-racehorse on site as my own project seemed such a rash undertaking.
As ever fate took a hand and his carer and some time jockey joined our ranks just a month later.
With Jack here full time we began taking in starters and re-schooling horses and worked with Bruce along side these other horses and their various clients. We were all busy, happy and thriving in the sun.

Needless to say we were far to busy to write any thing down let alone log his monthly progress.
Jack moved on to take a pupil assistants post with Charles Hills racing in Lambourn where he is thriving and he still returns to help out here.
Bruce has made steady progress and has developed into a fun, playful character whom everyone loves, even his field mate the long suffering Lordston.
The plan is to now write as often as work allows to chart how Bruce and I are learning together as he really is changing my outlook on life.
