Bardsey Mills Ltd have been in the horse feed business for many years now and this weeks Cheltenham Festival brings back happy memories from 1983. That was the year that Michael Dickinson trained the first five finishers in National Hunt's premier steeplechase. Dickinson was just 33 at the time and in only his third season as a trainer at Dunkeswick near Harewood in Yorkshire. Our mill at the time was nearby in Harrogate and we were the sole providers of feed for all the horses trained at that yard including the star cast that took the honours that day. What a shame I did not have a bet. The result was First Bregawn 100-30F (G Bradley) Second Captain John 11-1 (D Goulding) Third Wayward Lad 6-1 (J O'Neill) Fourth Silver Buck 5-1 (R Earnshaw) Fitth Ashley House 12-1 (Mr D Browne)

We can tell showing season is on the way due to the busy day in the shop we've had today selling mane and tail conditioner
