Their understanding of the thoroughbred and what it needs both whilst in racing in addition to when it steps out of that environment to become a riding horse is second-to-none and we couldn’t be any more delighted that they chose to partner us. The same is also true in respect of the performance horse and we are fortunate to be able to have access to their extensive knowledge base for the benefit of our programmes.
