I decided to go this route rather than getting him handicapped over hurdles. He is a big baby and hopefully we can go the novice rated route with him now and visit our hurdles again some other time. I'll tip away over fences with him now and he is a lovely, lovely horse. I'm very pleased with that and it's good to get the beginners out of the way as you can spend six months trying to win one. We'll take it baby steps with him. His jumping was a bit hit and miss but that's normal. Liz Doyle, trainer
