A Morning At The Gallops

Nick Scholfield and Jason Maguire on the Gallops

To continue our celebrations on turning 13 in 2013, the apt staff got up early this morning for a visit to Kim Bailey Stables and watched Nick Scholfield, fresh from his recent third place at the Grand National, practicing on the jumps with fellow National rider Jason Maguire who stayed on afterwards and had breakfast with us. A huge thanks to Kim and his team for making us feel so welcome, and as always we came home convinced apt needed to buy a racehorse. Maybe one day but in the meantime we all had a great morning!
