Champagne flows again.

There was another champagne breakfast today celebrating a double, but this time it wasn't winners on the track that had earned the fizz!  Firstly everyone toasted Shane (stable lad) who had his 21st birthday.  He has been at the yard for several years and has developed from a total novice to one of Linda's key work riders, especially on the National Hunt horses.

Shane blows out the candles on his birthday buns.

Then there was a naming and blessing ceremony for Praise N Glory, performed by his joint-owners Dick Churcher (pictured with the champagne bucket of holy water) and the Reverend Fredrik Arvidsson (Father Fred) who administered the blessing.

Praise N Glory receives his blessing.
