I’m delighted for Alistair (Spittal) and Lorraine who are over from Scotland today. They have two horses with me,. I’m delighted for the horse as well, because he’s a horse that we like a lot. He’s still a big baby ,but there is a big engine there and it’s only slowly coming to hand. He’s maturing all the time. He’s still green and he looks at things.
