[gingiefly]

Hi, Im new to this forum. Ive worked in racing up to now.<br>was just wondering if theres anybody working in a yard around, to keep me up to date n zhat;)

[seabird]

Welcome to the forum, gingiefly.

I used to be a yard-man but I am retired now.

I think there are a few on here who still have the joy of mucking-out and working with horses, I’m sure they will be along in a while!

I have worked in racing for 20 odd years, I also train pointers…

[gingiefly]

I worked 4 J.L.Dunlop n last rode out 4 Lady Anne Herries (missing that one).

Does anyone know by the way, if Harry Dunlop has taken any of the John Dunlop staff up 2 his yard in Lambourn??

[racinggirluk]

Can find out, off to Lambourn at the weekend, I used to live there, so have many friends there…he has had a great start to his training career…

[gingiefly]

Gingiefly, can we PLEASE converse in English.

It doesn’t take that much longer to type the full word and it certainly doesn’t cost any more.

Methinks GingieFly is a bit of a textaholic, guilty of it myself when I text.

I’m with L.V Russell at the moment. Absolutely love it and what a time we’re having at the moment!!

Where do you ride out Tony?

[jilly]

I seem to remember bigtony saying that he rode out for the Russell yard.He mentioned it once in the chatroom … and about 50 times on here :biggrin:

:scratchchin:

Namedroppers the lot of ya ;)

I used to work part-timish when i was in school for a point-to-point trainer but i wouldn’t know him from Adam now, just on the "breeding" side of his operation – he was ecentric and insisted on using an ex-racer and an Irish draught stallion to induce stamina.  

[jilly]

How Very Dare You! :biggrin:

If i’m wrong i’ll apologise :angry:

I’m a retired stable lass/trainer’s secretary nowadays although I have ridden out for a few trainers since moving on.  Still ride out now when I can – living in Gib isn’t conducive to that but I get in a bit of riding out when I’m back in the UK [tend to either ride ponies :biggrin: or do a bit of dressage/jumping here in Spain].  Was pretty impressed with myself that I got 3 lots out in one day at Christmas considering I hadn’t been on a racehorse in a few months!  Got quite a lot of riding out booked when I come back in February – for 3 different trainers so far! :biggrin:
