Sam (Griffiths) has got Shanghai Joe in great shape, he&#8217;s as fit as he has ever been \u2013 actually fitter than he has ever been, I think &#8211; he feels really strong. I had a couple of lessons with Gareth Hughes, the other day and he is working as good as he has ever gone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had a little showjump on him on the Monday morning before we came to Badminton and he jumped really really well. I couldn&#8217;t be happier with the way he is, in all aspects, he feels fit and sound, good on the flat, and jumping well, so I guess I&#8217;ve just got to do a good job now.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34727 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/thruEars.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/thruEars.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/thruEars-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trybooking.com\/book\/event?eid=273877&amp;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34760\" src=\"http:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/MI3DE_FullPage-THM_V1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/MI3DE_FullPage-THM_V1.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/MI3DE_FullPage-THM_V1-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.horsemagazine.com\/thm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/MI3DE_FullPage-THM_V1-425x300.jpg 425w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We got to Badminton on the Tuesday afternoon and had a bit of a look around.
