by my back door have been fantastic this year so easy to grow once established they seed themselves and are great vaue the bees love them as well.
Janos is my walking companion he is an Hungarian Wire Haired Vizsla. A lively good natured dog he lives in the house with me and a Jack Russell called Teg. He is a year old now and has been easy to train very willing to please. I did a lot of research into the breed before I bought him and apart from being over height for breed standard (he is big!) he is "exactly what it says on the tin".
Today I've decided to offer Foxglove for sale. She's 4 and I had been keeping her because I didn't have another daughter out of her mother Jonquil but now Jonquil has a filly foal by Polaris Starbright and its time for Foxglove to lead a more productive life under saddle. She's by Tawny Owl who did very well in ridden classes and his half brother Little Owl continues to fly the flag having qualified for the Royal International this year. So she is bred for the job and I hope I can find her a good home where she will realise her full potential.
Racing news is encouraging. I thought that Batgirl ran well yesterday she finished strongly and went past a few horses to finish midfield. Shot Silk runs on Saturday for the first time she will probably need the run to gain experience but we are really looking forward to it. Her mother Sable 'n Silk was the first horse that I bred and raced on my own. She managed to win at 2 but seemed to retire herself after that! I gave her to Andrew to breed from and she had 2 live foals before we had to put her down before Christmas with severe foot problems. Shot Silk is the first race horse Andrew has bred so its a big day on Saturday.
