Lady P had gone to a new home

Penny has been sold to a stud in Devon, called Langaller Farm. They stand quite a few stallions there, including Prince of Darkness whom I used to look after! Penny will be going to Catherstone Dazzler this season, so that is a very exciting prospect. I hope to be able to keep track of her and her progeny over the years.

I am very sad that she is gone, I miss seeing her every morning and giving her her feed. She was such a wonderful mum to Percy and was such a joy to have around and look after. She was never any trouble and always so well mannered. I do hope she is well looked after in Devon, I'm sure she will be. I hope she will have a good life there, she truly deserves it.

Percy has been very good also. he is very well behaved, though blotted his copy book today when he dragged me into a flower bed! Not exceptable behaviour at all! He had been upset by a big van zooming up behind him and spraying water, so i will forgive him this once...

I hope to take him to a show or two, though I have no idea what I am doing. As far as turnout is concerned I have no qualms, I used to turnout for the Tattersalls sales at Newmarket, so I think I know a bit about that! But with regards to what I wear and do... I have sent my hacking jacket to the dry cleaners having dug it out of the loft, so that is a start. Next thing is to bit Percy and get him used to walking, trotting and standing. I'll see how I go with that.
