This is my last Spring Dawn post. We sold him on Thursday at the Doncaster Sales to a good home - he is going to go hunting and point to pointing in Cirencester.

He's a lovely horse, and a terrific jumper, but he just wasn't interested in winning. I'm delighted that he is going to have a lovely semi-retirement with owners who will treat him well.

It was fun, if hardly profitable (although we got almost double the sum we hoped for at auction).

Onwards and upwards: I'm checking over the final details for my new purchase. I can barely contain my excitement. Spring Dawn was never going to be more than a bit of fun. The horse I am about to buy into, however, is - in theory - a serious racehorse. More news when the deal is, hopefully, done...
