“Ed and Polly are vital to the racing success of our homebreds. The way young horses are prepared for racing like children becomes the foundation for being able to realise their potential.”
“Ed and Polly have our homebreds from three years onwards, they start with long reining and then full pre-training making them ready for the race course. Some go Point to Pointing with Edward and some go Bumpers with Polly and some onto other trainers. One of the many great attributes this team has for us as breeders is that they receive from us all different characters and sizes: they then have to decide where is best for these horses to start their careers and what’s best for the youngsters long term. Having the combination of skills and licences all in one yard is very helpful in making this decision and very cost effective for us the breeder.”
“People ask me why we have horses racing under rules with Polly and I reply, not all horses are suited to large yards, some need to have Polly’s more individual attention in order to realise their potential. Polly and Ed have this same approach to owners as well as horses.”
