First few weeks at work

These first 3 weeks working for Lawney Hill have been great! The horses here are so lovely and beautiful to ride. It's really interesting working in a racing yard and dealing with day-to-day life for the trainers, jockeys and stable staff. I've had some lovely rides on stunning horses and really enjoying my time here. 

 My working day consists of :

7am - go down to start work either tack up your first lot or start work on the yard dependent what I'm doing that morning 

7:45am - pull out for first lot if riding 

9am - breakfast

9:30am - back down the yard for 2nd lot

10:00am - pull out second lot 

11:00am - pull out third lot 

12:00noon - pull out fourth lot 

1:00pm - lunchtime 

3:00pm- back down to yard for evening stables 

5:00pm- finish for the day 

Weekends are slightly different - on a Saturday you have an extra hour at lunch so go down for evening stables until 4pm and on a Sunday you start work at 8am finish at 11am ( don't ride on a Sunday ) and down for evening stables at 4pm. I also get every other weekend off which is from Saturday 1pm until back to work Monday morning - this is always nice as I can go home for the weekend or just chill. 

Sunday 11th Jan we had point to point runners at Ampton 

Consigliere ( Connie) won the Men's Open wich was a lovely win for the team. We also had a 2nd and 5th on the day.
