Yesterday was the Tokoro Christmas bash, which always involves a fun-level gymkhana to give all members a chance to compete. In cool but pleasant conditions, assuming one has webbed feet, 'Bugatti' sensed that something was going on, and went into ultra-high tension mode, standing on his back legs and almost running to the tacking up area. Louis got him calmed down nicely, but Sophie got the most from him on the scoring side of things, taking the slower approach. Ironic! Then Miho had a go, and shocked everyone by attempting the cross. 'Bugatti' walked straight up to it and stopped dead - he knows the rider's limits better than the rider...By the way, the Tokoro RC will be changing its name in the Spring, as it will be moving a few miles down the road. The name change is a sad necessity, as the current farm and stables we currently use have always carried the Tokoro moniker. The new, purpose-built stables will go under the Colza Horse Club name.
