As you know I have been following Nick Peet around as he completes his 'Great 08 challenge'.
He successfully completed the half marathon and managed to do in just over 2 hrs. Not bad for someone who trained for only a few weeks prior to the race.
His next challenge is the horse race where he will compete against two professional jockeys in a flat race-hopefully at Aintree in a few weeks time.
He is going to train down south at Ginger McCain's son, Donald (good luck Cloudy Lane!!) in the next couple of weeks.
But he quite wisely decided to go for extra lessons having not been on a horse since he was 13 (turn the numbers round and that is his current age).
I went along for his first lesson-he was surprisingly good!! He managed to trot on Jackson without the lead reign.
To view the video I made:
I will be going down to the stables to film him train for his very own Aintree debut!!
