NEW CARROT MAGAZINE 
The latest Carrot Club magazine has just been released, and I can't believe how many of my kids are in there this time - Tenshinramman, of course, including a big piece on her, but also Quadrille, Lourdes No Hitomi, and a nice profile on Fairy Robe. Add in the updates on the younger horses yet to make their debuts, and it's a bumper issue as far as this house is concerned...

Today, as soon as Sophie finished her half day back at school, it was off to the stables. Louis was busy training with Machikane Ukon today, refining jumping skills to get ready for his show-jumping debut. Sophie should make her Dressage debut soon, so fingers crossed there.

We popped into Higashi-Kanto on the way home to see the trainee jockeys polishing up their riding skills. The horses were full of the joys of Spring there, as they were at Tokoro, with 'Jaguar' being particularly frisky. As if he wasn't a handful at the best of times!
