  • S2E5: The Pussy Stroking Incident

    S2E5: The Pussy Stroking Incident
    Jul 14 2022

    Well here it is, the reason why I started the podcast - this is the story that I have told so many times. It highlights just how unfair things can be and also how funny. The irony being that this whole episode led to me being promoted!

  • S2E4: Exiled to Melton

    S2E4: Exiled to Melton
    Feb 10 2022

    A big part of working at Shadwell involved the racing Arabs.  A totally different breed in all aspects from the Thoroughbred. I really enjoyed working with the Arabs and I learnt a lot about horse psychology and training from my time with them. In fact I went to work with them again later in my career.
    Part of working at Snarehill meant the odd trip to Melton, we used to refer to this as being exiled as you only got sent there when Denis didn't want to see you and/or you'd been naughty. In some ways though it was great!

    S2E3: The Horses
    Feb 3 2022

    In this episode I go into some of the delightful horses that I worked with at Shadwell, this gives you a good idea of what working in rehab was like. It was nothing like working in Racing, a lot of the horses were frustrated and and huge!
    There were some nice ones and some that I met again further on in my career.
