Riding Sonny


Big week this one for our young gun. Clive has finished with all his basic mouthing and handling. He has also had the saddle on him and put him through his paces in the longing yard.

He is ready to have a jockey on him for the next stage of training.

Clive has someone lined up to talk to this week about it and if all goes well, Sonny should have someone on his back by next week. It will be someone local in Geraldton who rides a lot of the new horses.

We've just retired our grand old champion Tapdog after his final run (3rd) last week. Tapdog will be kept in the stable for a little bit to help with the education of Sonny. At least until we have Sonny ready to turn out for his growing spell.

Clive reports that Sonny has continued to grow since we brought him. Heading towards that 15.3hands that he expects him to be. He still has a chuckle in his voice when talking about the clever little bloke.

All will be revealed.
