KEEPING IT UP UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN

KEEPING OUR HORSES IN GOOD CONDITION

Our first blog since the new year ... and hopefully interesting news to tell you about !

First of all, it is now confirmed, 37 racing fixtures have been authorised for the 2017 season, so we shall have 37 times the opportunity to take you for a ride in our horse racing world and you will have 37 times the opportunity to write a beautiful story on your adventure with the Crown Lodge...



It is said that passion will get you up early as well as keep you up late...Horse lovers are by nature early birds and they will not miss horse training even if it starts at 05h00 in the morning.  We wish to share with you some pictures Jacques has personally taken at the crack of dawn, at the lovely Guy Desmarais Training Centre in Floréal...





Tropical summertime bloom !
Golden Trumpet Allamanda.  This beautiful flower grows everywhere in Mauritius. Aren't they lovely ? and they do not really need to be nurtured. 
Did you know that flowers are Jacques' second passion  😉 and have you noticed how lovely the flower boxes are at the Mauritius Turf Club?  A delight for the eyes...



Flowers, flowers, flowers, so beautiful...

It is great to be able to experience the early morning horse racing training.  It forms part of all the adventure and passion.  It leads the path to the amazing and stunning moments we are graced with from March to December at the Champ de Mars. Only two months to go!  Can't wait to share them with you.




No Rest for the Brave ...
