I took Symphoniker to Woodlander Stud today to begin his preparation for grading.  He came in from the field on Tuesday and had a bath and his mane pulled.  This morning he loaded in to the box very easily, travelled well and seemed to get a good reception at Woodlander.

I found Lynne and her team very friendly, knowledgable and welcoming.  Their horses were a credit to them. 

I have everything crossed now that they are able to get him to show himelf to his best advantage at the grading and that he gets a decent result.  If all that goes well (BIG IF) he will then go to Germany for performance testing.

I will be posting updates about his progress.
