Now here's a much brighter story. Mayano Time (aka 'Jaguar'), my crazy Thoroughbred that won four races in his younger days but used to kick, bite and throw everyone in sight once his racing career ended, was enjoying himself today jumping at an 80cm level - on pure instinct, too, as he's never been formally trained in this discipline. With care, attention and respect, this onry old horse (born in 1997) has become a lovable character that only gets snappy when he's sleepy and falls into default mode, and has won dressage, gymkhana and show-jumping events with both Louis and Sophie, which was unthinkable a few years ago. The way he was going today, clearing fences with ease and zest, it might be worth concentrating on jumping - a happy horse with confidence in those around him can do amazing things. If the JRA trainers want lessons on how to deal with horses properly, my rates are reasonable.
