Today I had Albert VI at Ascott under wychwood. After he slightlylost his confidence having stepped up to CCI S4* level at the end of lastseason we decided to give him a really lovely time out for his first run asalmost a schooling session to get him back into the swing of things. Heproduced a brilliant test scoring 24.3 and jumped an extremely confident doubleclear to win! Despite this only being a 100 I was delighted with how he felt acrosscountry. He really felt like he was back to the old Albert that we know so thatwas very promising indeed. He will go to Whitfield next for the ON for anothernice run on Tuesday 23 April.

Djakota EB will now head straight to Bicton International for theCCI S2*and Kilnaboy Buffet will join him for the CCI S3* onSaturday 20-Sunday 21 April. It is now full on with training leading up to theweekend and I will let you know how we get on!
