rain stopped play again..



was supposed to start on dismounting techniques this morning, but it's still raining - started not long after i got home yesterday teatime, not let up much since (but of course, it has eased now i've turned monfy out and cancelled my lesson, LOL)

in the meantime, the bbc has this photo is Monfy with Mick Fitzgerald up winning The Better People Better Business Novices' Hurdle at Huntingdon on 24th january 2007. I know that's right, his form book says so (copyright whoever took the photo and the BBC, presumably!). It was run over 2 miles, according to Betfair, he carried 11-4 and won by 1 1/4 lengths, a field of 17. good lad! He won't be doing that again, of course!

  1. What a nice picture to have. Monfy looks really determined and in good form over that hurdle.

    When you start riding him, you can show him the picture of his past life just so he can appreciate the new, more laid back existence. *S*
