how much training

as i fly natural and im not to keen on training ive got a friend next door willing to
take them to work with him to yeovilton air base where he works , its about 25 miles as the crow flys so lots of training for mine when the weather picks up .

thats good kev maybe if ya invite him to the loft race days he may get in to it

still a bit cold yet had um out most days so no cob webs on um but as ive only got

yearlings ill await the warmer weather no good in east winds they be ruined befor

they get started

2 or 3 tosses from 15 mile when they are fit enough to go not before,just to show them the ropes, feed correctly i.e. a light mix, crack the whip and make them have it round the loft they will get the message after 2 or 3 times , training costs money the sky does not ?.

very true about training cost money thats why my mates offered to take them for me
every day if i want , good luck for the season

only train before racing starts ....as said loft flying dont cost may give the odd toss just to sharpen um up if they need it

i would go every day once they are doing 40 minutes round the loft. but watch the cold eatserly winds, i would leave them in on days like that, watch for the head and eye colds in the early races

i agree chris i think we are racing more and more far to early these days

Spot on Chris

we give ours as many as possible before the first race,then we ease off after that
