Go Racing!posted 19-04-2013
This weekend we hope to have a few runners. At Newcastle on Sunday, Dun to Perfection will run over the shorter distance of 2 miles. We have tried to enter him on a number of occasions and have been unlucky in the ballot. Billericky Allstar will run in the Bumper with a view to settling her and running next over hurdles - which she has schooled beautifully over.

Sedgefield for Dun to Perfection on Tuesday - all being well. We were balloted out of Carlisle. We also have Mobane Ali down to run but the ground will probably turn too soft for her. Pictured are Dun to Perfection ridden by Romario Harding - our NVQ 2 student. and Jamie Corbett riding Mobane Ali ( far side ).

Interested people are asking to be informed of our runners. Well we have had a permit to train for a year and have had 3 wins and 11 places so far. 26th February we hope to run Dun to Perfection in the ladies Am. race at Catterick. Mobane Ali also makes a reappearance on the track after she injured herself in her last race. We will also take Billerickyallstar to Sedgefield on Sunday along with Blakemans Law. That is, of course, with horses and weather permitting!
Go away snow! Please?posted 20-01-2013
We are ticking over at Girsonfield in the snow. managing to get the horses nearest a race out in the snow. That includes Dun to Perfection, Spirit Walker, Mobane Ali and Blakemans Law. Yearlings and brood mares are enjoying a quick frolic in the snow. Good to see our newest member of staff getting in from Hawick, over the border in Scotland - well done Callum and his Subaru!
and again!posted 28-11-2012
Definite Appeal, our much loved stable star, came home by a neck at Newcastle. His first run this season, he was ridden so well and confidently by Gary Rutherford - one of the most up and coming young jockeys in the North. Where next?
Dun to Perfection!posted 28-11-2012
Well after three 'p's - pulled up! I was worried that this home bred horse had been badly named! I threatened poor Steven Mulqueen with death if he did not finish the 4th race - even if he had to trot around! Suffice to say he finished fourth and followed up with another fourth at Hexham. At Carlisle in November he 'sauntered into the lead' and won by three lengths at 40 -1! Well done to Mr Walton and son Richard - the only known people to have backed him - faith indeed!

Success at Last!posted 08-06-2011
After a very poor start to the Point to Point season with the weather - highlight - gently sinking the lorry in the mud at Witton Castle to hear 'abandoned' and just pure bad luck - carried out while lying second on Dodge the Bullet - the world changed when Jamie rode Definite Appeal to be 3rd in a Hunter Chase at Kelso quickly followed up by two wins at the Haydon and Border Point to Points. Well done Jamie - first wins!
Diggers are in!posted 03-04-2011
We have Pearts doing our gallop and the excitement is mounting. I have to say that they have been brilliant and have worked so hard to beat the weather and achieve our deadlines. Thanks to One North East and Business Link for their help, which made it possible.
Point to Point - heading for Tranwellposted 03-04-2011
Watching the weather this week to decide the entries at Tranwell on the 10th April. Claresburn wants soft, Master Bud, pictured ridden by Jakub, needs good ground for his first run - and Dodge the Bullet - just needs a bit of luck after been carried out by two loose horses last week at Overton!

Rambo finds his niche!posted 24-10-2010
Yes this stocky young man is the foal that has become the stud mascot. After a poor start, with legs going in all directions, he is an upright character now a yearling, who is babysitting the Pointers, teaching young horses to load and acting as a traveling companion when required.
