“I bid on three mares, just missed on one - but in the end I can't wait to see what Snowflake can do over the next few years. I'm quite new to the owner and breeder side of the industry. It's something I've always wanted to do and it's an exciting time with my first foal due any day now.
“I've found using Magic Millions Digital to be a dream. The platform is fantastic and very user friendly and I have really enjoyed the experience. Over the past six months or so in particular through Magic Millions Digital, I've built up a wonderful relationship with Charlotte (Geoghegan). She has helped me so much and I couldn't be more thankful.
“As I've been telling people - I'm realising a dream and it's just so exciting.”
