At the Rolex FEI World Cup Jumping Final in the Netherlands the amazing homebred Flexible, another star from the Edward Doyle nursery, currently lies in 8th position going into the final round on Sunday after winning the opening competition on Friday night.

Edward's current Nations Cup mount, the stallion Samgemgee, is a half brother to Flexible.

With the new year well under way, I have brought Samgemgee and Dilligaf back into work after a well earned break.  Over the next couple of weeks, we will be sitting down and reviewing the spring schedule, especially some of the European tour shows.  All the horses are in great form and we look forward to an exciting year ahead.
