Our 7 year journey with L’ Ami Serge ended in tragedy today. He was a horse who held a special place in lots of people’s hearts and especially ours. He won the French Champion Hurdle, Aintree Hurdle and took us to lots of places - all days that we will never forget. RIP L’Ami💚💚

It is with great sadness that we lost our doublegreen stalwart and hero Top Notch today. He ruptured his stomach & surgery failed. He was the sweetest kindest horse with the biggest heart - since 2014 he won 14 races & participated in 5 Chelt Festivals so many memories RIP Notchy

There are no longer any “freebies” in Ireland the best horse wins - best bred, best bought, best trained, best placed simple! Willie’s secret sauce is he doesn’t rush his horses he gives them plenty of time. He also lets the horses do the talking 😉 #Footpad #Concertista
