AYLESBURY LODGE

Casting back our memories to the day Positive Outlook was made available for sale, we recall he sold to lovely Viv and her family within hours of going online. Didn't think it was possible to beat that record until now.

As with all our horses, the right home is critical. Schnaps was always going to be difficult, why? because we bred her, I'd shown her, she was only 2yo and I loved her. I was there when she was born and held her head when she lay asleep. The affection I feel for that filly is incredible and finding a home where I know she would be appreciated as much and loved her as much as I did, was going to be hard order.

Then came Renee. (Yep another Renee). It was love at first site and when she saw her on you-tube, she knew she had to have her. So my beloved little filly is now headed to a wonderful competition home in Victoria.

Renee popped me an email on another matter and I told her I was having to part with Schnaps. I think I had her online 5 minutes.. got an email back - "I want her" then I got the phone call "YES YES YES YES - I WANT HER" on the answering machine. Jon looks at me smiled and said "Does this mean she has sold?"

Friends close to the The Lodge are totally devistated at the soon approaching departure of such a wonderful filly and yes, it will be heartbreaking to see her go. But she will have a home for life, become a member of a loving family and shown to her full potential.

On behalf of everyone who knows and loves her, we wish Renee the very very best.
