Tuesday 9 April

He will be scoped tomorrow to make sure that all is well with him, but his recent work suggests he is in good order. Benefit Cut will also be scoped tomorrow, as he is stabled next to Tannerman who has been under the weather, and we want to make sure that all is well with him before looking at making some entries for next week. Michael called this morning to say that Tara Dancer is in good form, and is on the walker in preparation for her return to Fences Farm early next month. I would think that she I very much appreciating being in and out of the cold!!
