Hello hello! Spring has arrived here in Middleham, which has meant plenty of precious field time for me and a couple of my mates. I've had to put up with Wibble (Man Of La Mancha) joining me out there and he drives me nuts - he...
Good evening, It's been a quiet week here at Castle Hill, after Fridge (Freeze A Crowd) declined the horror of Friday night rush hour in Wolverhampton. She was a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up when some of the Middleham Park Racing syndicate came to visit...
