Stan and his ponies as ever have their own Fan Club, with that in mind we are delighted to relay their Form on the Pony Racing circuit so far this season - 2010.

February 14th, Vine and Craven at Barbury Castle, Stans's Comments; 5 in race, unfortunately Mum did not put on the tack tight enough and the saddle slipped up Sammy's neck and I fell off!  Not impressed!.

February 28th,
Albrighton at Chaddesley Corbett finished 3rd,  Stan's Comments; 10 in race first 2 ponies had really hot form and tack stayed in place!  Mum really pleased!

March 21st, Hampshire at Hackwood Park, finished in 2nd Place, Stan's Comments; A close second place with 7 in race, not such a hot area but winner had travelled up from Somerset.  Mum bought me a new saddle now 3lb made up very easy to carry around.
