Fairwood Dante


                It was great to welcome back Fairwood Dante to the yard this week.  He is owned locally by James & Jane Symonds.  We had him in training here before and he ran well in his bumpers and over hurdles.  He is a big, old-fashioned staying chaser type.
                James & Jane would love him to run in a Novice Chase at Wincanton, our local track, and hopefully on Badger Beer Day.  We all love Wincanton, as I went to Pony Club camp there many years ago with The South & West Wilts, and James and Jane have been going there for many years and will have plenty of friends there to have a drink or two with!  James is Chairman of The South & West Wilts point to point.
                Dante is a horse that was a little tense in his work when we last had him so Buffy, our vet, is going to come and check him out before we ride him to check him over for any aches and pains.  He will be trained from the field and will have plenty of loose trotting in the school before he is seen.  He has been very well prepared by his owners and we are all looking forward to having lots of fun with him this coming season.
