All change again but still plenty of time for photos!

Yard visits – photographs, videos, blogging and biscuits!

Farewell to the AGA final, it was fun while it lasted!

It was the end of an era for me last Friday at Stratford Racecourse and I enjoyed every minute of a long but happy day. The day started with the PPORA awards lunch and the Paddock Pavilion was bursting at the seams as 320 people gathered to listen to guest speaker, Nicky Henderson. He was followed by Luke Harvey – who hosted what […]

Mollington and Andoversford provide the setting for an AGA double header

An AGA double header started on Grand National day at Mollington – with a huge screen so nobody missed the big race – and finished with a first ever visit to Andoversford the following day. Two AGA champions had a starring role and a Claire Hart treble was the highlight at Mollington, while there was a great win […]

There’s a warm welcome for the AGA man in South Dorset on a very special day for Lilly and Maddie

These point-to-point fixtures just keep getting better and better, and this one at Milborne St Andrew left me with a really warm glow which lasted all the way home – just as well really, because it was cold, very cold!

Oaksi shows his class at Chaddesley Corbett as he is given a text book ride from Jane Williams

The penultimate AGA Ladies open of the season had attracted a mouth watering entry of 22, and the Pointing Plus (Racing Plus) had given it front page billing with the headline ‘Clash of the Titans’.

Team Ireland v Team GB – a look back at the 2013 Tattersalls International Point-to-Point Challenge

12 months ago we made a memorable trip to Ireland for an International Point-to-Point challenge, as we prepare to head out there again at the end of next week, I thought it would be a good idea to remind everyone just how good last years trip was. Here’s the blog post that I published in […]

Look out Yorkshire, Claire Hart and Palypso De Creek are coming to get you!

This is a direct quote from my post race blog 12 months ago: ‘Not many people beat Amicelli in his own back yard and after Harty won the race on Palypso De Creek it looks like she is now going to be banned from travelling north of Derby until further notice!’. What was the reason for that statement? Because Claire […]

AGA man up with the pace on second run of the season, but choice of apparel causes a stir

Good times at Barbury Castle as we enjoy another day of point-to-point racing in the sunshine, there is also lots of fashion advice for the AGA man and Gina Andrews promises to (finally) read the blog! For the second weekend running I was setting off to go to a point-to-point meeting in glorious sunshine, and for the […]
