“HE TRIES SO HARD”

-

“IN two years he’ll be a top horse, watch this space,” said Alex Bragg, fourth in the seven-year-olds on Ardeo Premier. “He’s such a good jumper and tries so hard that we’ve saved him and we’ve been rewarded. He galloped with ease and found another gear when I asked him at the end. I’d be confident about doing a four-star in the spring.”

The bay was sent to the holding box at both inspection­s, and Alex says he’ll be “practising trotting up”.

“He doesn’t get lit up, which shows a great temperamen­t, but it would help to show some spark instead of ambling along; it feels like I’m dragging a child to school!”
