STRONG WELD

The West Midland Area lost one of its bravest performers today.

STRONG WELD was just a few days short of his 15th birthday and was enjoying a days hunting with the Ledbury from their meet at Hartpury House.

The winner of 4 races last season he will be a sad loss for owner Rhys Jenkins and staff at Nicky Sheppards yard at Eastnor, but at least they know he passed on doing something he enjoyed

His front running tactics and the brave way he always attacked the fences, will live long in the memory
