Still riding high after her terrific success at Thirlestane, SNERC member Amanda Creedon and the gorgeous Skippers Cleuch stole the show on ITV Border's Lookaround last night (friday). The story centred on Skippers and the way he's gone on to a successful new career after doing so well on the track, even after undergoing an incredible operation that could have put paid to everything. It also included a chat with Len Lungo who had Skippers throughout his racing career and still speaks of him with great affection and respect. Len also said many racehorses could go on to become terrific riding horses with the correct retraining. As you'd expect, Amanda and Skippers Cleuch both performed brilliantly well - and Amanda got a great plug in for SNERC - so job well done!!! PS - I was the reporter and I just wish all my interviewees were as easy to work with! So - a big to Amanda, Skippers - and Len.

I'm not sure if it'll be on the website - because it was shown as part of our Scotland-only coverage - but I'm going to ask the techie people on monday if it can be added on, so I'll report back if successful!

I've just spoken to our nice techies - and they've promised to put the piece about Amanda on later today - to access it, go to itvlocal.com/border then go to local news, then to news extra. It should be on by late afternoon I hope.

Just looked through all the bits on "News Extra" & I can't find it! Does that mean it's not there yet., or is it under some heading I haven't thought of?
p.c. Well done Mindy & Skips - what great ambassadors!

Hi everyone - sorry to mess you about with this! I should have waited till I knew the report was definitely on the ITV Border website before saying anything - but I just couldn't wait to let everyone know about Amanda and Skippers Cleuch! Our Techies promised me yesterday that it would be on by late afternoon but I've just checked and it's still not there - I'll let you know as soon as it's posted - honest!
