“As Wiz (Wurlizer) and Del (Headmore Delegate) have a quiet few weeks, we took Dream (Headmore Dream On) to Merrist Wood on 18 May for another elementary test. It was an evening show so the entries were good and it was fairly busy.

Better concentration

Dream warmed up well, she was much more settled than at Fair Oak and her concentration was much better. She was very keen in the test but there were no major mistakes and overall we were very pleased with it. She scored 67.67%, which we were slightly disappointed with as mum thought it was a 70% test, but this was still good enough to win the class so the judge was obviously just marking quite low! We can’t really complain however, as Dream has done two tests since she has been back and won both of them!

Another new arrival

We have also had another new arrival this week, my mare Jaffa, who is Wizard’s full sister, had her foal on Tuesday night, a lovely chestnut filly by Briar. She has been named Buttermere or Flora for short! We have also decided on a name for Bracks’ filly, she has been called Dramatica, or Drama for short, but we still haven’t decided on a posh name for Dumbo so please keep the suggestions coming!”
