After trainer Louis Goosen’s highly successful migration from the Vaal to Ashburton, another man is moving in exactly the opposite direction.
Deshone Steyn, long-time assistant to Sean Tarry in KZN, has called time on his assistant trainer’s license and starts out on his own at the Vaal next month.
“I’ve had close on 12 years with Sean and I think that’s enough. It’s just the right time,” he said.
Steyn was active at the Shongweni Sale on Tuesday. “I have 10 nice horses to start with. I am serving out my notice and will slowly move to the Vaal. All my family are up there – I’m just not looking forward to the cold weather.”
