Schooling

We schooled a couple of our hurdlers today. Nodda High Kid and Ellistrin Belle have a choice of engagements over the next few weeks, so they were put through their paces by Garry & Ryan. Both jumped well, with Belle giving her hurdles plenty of air, and arching her back impressively. She also corrected herself when meeting the open ditch on the wrong stride. Hector jumped quite slickly, if a little lazily, in brushing the tyres.

Both horses jumped the 5 hurdle schooling lane twice
