GO WITH THE FLO -16.2hh Thoroughbred Mare by Alflora out of Orphan Annie. 3BE points, £198 approx BS winnings, 4BD points. Flo was bought as an unbroken three year old by John Elliot from Doncaster sales, she is bred as a National Hunt horse. She was sent to us to break in in September 2007 she was very straightforward to do and I really rated her as she had such a super attitude and was unbelievably balanced for a newly broken horse, she then went home for the winter and came back to Little Garendon in the Spring of 2008, John was thinking about selling her so we bought a half share in her, she has not ever put a foot wrong in the few competitions she has done in 2008 including two burghley young event horse classes, unaffiliated show jumping and dressage and she has also been autumn hunting and hunting. In 2009 she was placed nearly every time out, including at 2 out of 3 of her pre novices, In 2010 she went well at all her pre novice level events and did three novices at the end of the season going well at all of them including jumping double clear at Purston Manor. In 2011 the aim will be to do some Novices and then if all going well aim for a 1*.
