Mr Dawn
» Posted on April 15, 2004 07:15 PM » Category: Spring Dawn

I seem to have unleashed a Diana-replicating tidal wave of affection for Spring Dawn with my news that we might sell him. Well, a couple of emails and some comments.

Just to re-assure you - no, he won't be sold for anything other than racing or hunting (he'll make someone a lovely hunter). The feeling is that we've done all we really can with him, and a change of scene might do him some good. To be blunt, I just think he's got no oomph in him: he does lovely fancy dan jumping but come the business end of the race, he throws in the towel. And yes, before anyone comes up with the hilarious comparison with Spurs: know, I know. But we don't even do the fancy dan stuff.

And there will, of course, be a successor to Mr Dawn. The search is on as we speak.
