Maybe they’re having a spring clean
Hen has decided to cut back a bit on numbers; she wants to train quality over quantity. That’s all that is in it.

That’s great! Good luck to her
I didn’t read into this that Hen and Terry are giving up training and vacating the premises, I must say. After all, there’s no mention of them getting rid of their most important training aids – rabbits’ feet, four-leafed clovers, black cats or other items of superstition and mummery.

Dont forget the bails of cotton woll.
I certainly hope so, GD!! He wants fences, been crying out for them.
Honestly, there’s nothing more sinister in it than that – they feel they’d rather concentrate their efforts on fewer horses, with the emphasis on quality rather than quantity. It won’t make a big difference in all seriousness as they’re not cutting back drastically.
From the RP
HENRIETTA Knight is about sell off more than 400 lots of racing equipment ranging from schooling fences and brush hurdles to shaving forks and snaffle bits, but stressed on Saturday that the auction should not be interpreted that she is aboutto end her 18-year career as a trainer.
The trainer forever linked with triple Gold Cup winner Best Mate has a penchant for acquiring racing accessories – her husband Terry Biddlecome says she is an irresistible shopper for such items – and as a result West Lockinge Farm at Wantage has a surplus.
The three-time Cheltenham Gold Cup-winning trainer said: “This will be the third auction I’ve had here, and they seem to come around about every four years or so.
“I’m always getting new equipment – Terry reckons I’m a compulsive buyer – and as we’ve rather too much here at the moment, another auction seemed sensible.â€

Magic.
I look forward to both her chasers making an appearance next May (provided the ground is suitable).
