Cougar Lee - FOR SALE
15'3 HH Bay Gelding 9 yr old.
Out of Colonel Lee (Eroll Gloyn's top stallion in New Zealand). Half brother to Cindy Lee, Lauren Lee, Loreal Lee and Patsy Lee all of whom have won "best horse prizes" at the top level.
Exceptional gelding who came over from New Zealand in 2005.
Played A grade with Simon Shearing for the last three years and last year played B grade with Laura Scott while Simon was overseas. He was played in the Australian Test Matches by both Australian mens Number 3's who played him in every chukka obviously showing his ability and stamina which was favoured by some of the top players in the world.
He is sadly for sale due to family commitments and he will be sadly missed. Would play at all levels and has no vices. He would suit someone looking for that special horse to take them to the next level and beyond. There are not many opportunities to buy a horse of this calibre!
PRICE: £9000. Call Simon Shearing 07771810187 or Lizzie Shearing 07789 864036

The Bennett Polocrosse Racket features the unique patented injection moulded plastic head.
The head is not affected by damp conditions, will not warp or split like cane heads and will not go out of shape as do heads cut out of sheet material.
The unique moulding process gives greater durability, resilience and impact resistance for this hard and fast game.
The shape of the head has been designed to make it easier to pick up the ball and give greater control when in possession.
The unique design reduces the jarring and impact effect common to rigid cane, laminate and modified graphite squash racket heads. This reduces the risk of injury to the user, reduces the risk of impact injury to other players and their horses, plus makes the racket easier to use.
The Bennett Racket Head does not splinter leaving jagged, dangerous edges as will cane, laminate and graphite heads. Again much safer for both players and their horses.
Bennett Racket Heads are tested under extreme conditions.
Canes
The selection of canes is critical to the quality of the finished racket. Bennett canes are quite simply the best. Every cane is a "premium" cane.
Each racket is made with hand picked and seasoned 'tohiti' or 'manau' cane, only the best cane is selected and used. Most of our cane is aged and dried for at least 12 month's before use. Many canes used by other racket makers would not pass our strict quality control.
We have Three types of head available:
The standard head, which weighs 90 gms and is generally available in red, white, green, blue and yellow. Occasionally we have other colours also (pink, purple etc.).
The super-tough head, which weighs 115 gms, is manufactured from a 'tougher' material, available only in black.
