ENDURANCE 2007

PEANUTS - Now competing in his second season at Advanced Level,   winning his Tyro race ride, and first 80k race ride last season Peanuts showed great promise.   Peanuts has started the 2007 season very strongly, we gained a grade one at Berkshire Downs over 65k, which we were using for a warm up for the 80k race ride at Margam.   Margam was a testing ride including, sand dunes, beach, forestry and plenty of hills. In the pouring rain Peanuts ate the miles up and won a fast racing finish.

I and Peanuts attempted our first two day race ride of 130km at Cirenseter.   Due to our inclement summer the going was very sticky to boggy in places, which got wetter on the second day.   Peanuts enjoyed the going and we concentrated hard in order to avoid any mishaps.   Our hard work paid off with a win over this distance.   The trophy had been donated in Cheryl Logan's memory, which was very fitting, I rode Peanuts round his first 65k with Cheryl and her mare.

FIRST 100 MILES AT RED DRAGON!!!   Over two days P and I completed our first 100 miler together, we also represented the Welsh team in the home international at the same time.   We covered the terrain and vetted well, and completed in 5 place! Not bad for a first attempt!
