Once again there are more pictures than words, and I've also included a table as I'm reliably informed that everyone loves a table!
Thoroughly dried out after our soaking at Ston Easton on Saturday, and fortified by a hearty breakfast cooked on Mr and Mrs Barbers AGA, we headed for Milborne in great spirits.

It wasn't quite warm enough for shorts but after the monsoon and mud at Ston Easton it felt almost tropical (**we still enjoyed Ston Easton).

| Derek - the man who gets us there everyone week without fail! |
We set up in record time, and then had a quick catch up with the delightful Emily McMahon and Chloe Boxhall to discuss their prospects for the day. They went off to walk the course and we went ... for a coffee and a custard cream!

| The hounds are out |

| Contender for best turned out |
 |
| And another one! |
We were joined by Derek's mum and dad and he did what every good son would do in this situation ... he got them a race card and a pen!
 |
| What a difference a day makes |

We experienced the highs and lows of racing at first hand today as Jenny Carr enjoyed a great win on Crank Hill in the Hunt Members race, then took a crashing fall on Midnight Paradise in the 2nd Division of the Maiden. She is recovering in hospital and we hope to see her back in the saddle soon.

The AGA Ladies Open was won in fine style by Alex Dunn and Double Mead, with Alex picking up her first 10 points of the season in the process.
 |
| "Grab the cup mum, I want the points!" |
And finally, as promised, here is the latest table, complete with number of runs to date.
