- I went to see Altior last night and was really happy to see how much perkier he was. There's still a long, long way to go for him and we mustn't get complacent but I would like to thank you all for your continued support!
- I’m absolutely delighted and relieved to be able to give you all some good news about Altior 🐴 He appears to have come through the other side and be over the worst of his bout of colic! Thank you so much to all of the team at Donnington Grove. #ad unibet.me/Altior_Update0…
- It was very sad to see Shishkin pulled up today; he simply hates the ground and was never happy. He is thankfully home safe and sound. 💛🖤
- I’m pleased to issue a positive update on Altior. He is not out of the woods yet, but had a good night & is the most comfortable he has been so far. We’re keeping everything crossed he can make a full recovery & truly appreciate the kind messages 🤞 #ad unibet.me/NH_Altior_Upda…
- Pleased to report Buveur D’Air is fine this morning after his fall yesterday. He lives to fight another day.
- It is with deep regret that I have to announce the sad news that Sprinter Sacre has been retired. He was the horse of an absolute lifetime.
- Altior well in himself this morning and looking into the distance for King George dangers!
- 🖤🤍 A huge thrill to see Constitution Hill back to his brilliant best as he hands us a 13th win in the Christmas Hurdle under a superb ride from @NdeBoinville!
- Today marks the end of an era as Corky Browne calls time on being my right hand man. We started out together 41 years ago & have shared many highs and many lows. He’s loved by all the owners & staff and it won’t be the same around the place without him. Happy Retirement Corky!
- It’s been a great journey, but all good things must come to an end. Altior has been a star and given us all some amazing days but he leaves Seven Barrows to begin the next chapter 📚 of his life with @mickfitzg 🎓 #ad unibet.co.uk/blog/horse-rac…
- Sophie & I went to see Sir Gino yesterday afternoon and he seemed very pleased to see us mainly due to the carrots. But I have to say he was very bright and comfortable. To be fair the situation has not changed at all but that is essentially good news. We obviously hope this can
- Jonbon enjoying a morning roll and well deserved day off following yesterday's exertions
00:00 - Thank you all very much for the extremely kind messages I’ve received since being awarded an OBE. I am overwhelmed. It is obviously a tremendous honour, not just for me, but us all at Seven Barrows and I am hugely grateful.
