it will be interesting to see what happens next.
I am glad to see her back; IMO she acknowledged her bad training event, accepted the suspension with a fair amount of class and then laid low for the year. It may take a bit but she will get horses back to compete.

Agree, and as I said in the original thread, I really hope she shows she learned and is willing to be an advocate for doing better by the horse.
Is Special Effect that beautiful black young horse she had? I was really excited to see them work together.
I think the beautiful black horse she was riding was Secret Agent.

Valegros damaged nose always told the story of the not so kind training going on in that team. I foresee a phone ban on any clinics she runs in the future.

Based on the quips in Laura Graves’ article, sounds like that was a thing across the board, hence the rule being necessary.
There have been phone bans on clinics she has run in the past, so that will be nothing new.
I read somewhere where she may leave Carl Hester’s yard and the new horse is only there on a temporary basis until that can be arranged. I think it was in the UK press.
Carl has done some incredibly generous things for her so I’m sure he had to be disappointed about her behavior.
