How did you get into racehorse ownership?

By chance. I had ridden as a child and then years ago I went on a riding holiday and came back and suggested to my late husband Mark that we get involved with racehorses but he said no. My husband passed away (2008) and I was in a meeting with a racehorse owning-friend giving me some help with accounts and he said why not come along to the sales in Deauville. I was thinking along the lines of other kinds of shopping, not horseflesh, but I went and bumped into fellow Jersey-based Roger Simmons who is the husband of the friend I went riding with. He introduced me to another owner Chris Humber and bloodstock agent Amanda Skiffington and that was it. We bought two horses and one ran quite well. The other was about to run but its pastern was shattered so all together very disappointing. However, I carried on.
