Being a man that had trouble being still, he got that.  He would have worked himself to death after he lost Cressida, but thanks to Heidi, he had found a balance between work and time for himself.  He spent time with the child every chance he could now.  Sure, there was the nanny, but he kept a fairly set up schedule with the grooms where he worked with them.  Then he would either go get Heidi and bring her to "help" him at the stable or he would go spend time with her at the main house. 

He spent a lot of time working on the ledger, reading the mail, or writing letters in response to the mail in his office but Heidi would often be there playing on the floor with the nanny or falling asleep in his arms as he worked with the free hand.  He knew people in these fancy houses in England left the kids to the nannies and governesses, but that wasn't how he was raised, and wasn't how he was going to raise his daughter.  She was very important to him, and he wanted her to know what it was to work and take care of the horses.

He smiled when Karen mentioned liking horses.  "I have about 100 horses.  The property is mainly land."  He explained as he kept it about 1.5 acres per horse.  Besides the property around the main house, the main stable, and the cottages behind the main stable, he had 200 acres.  "I buy and sell them.  Mainly for showing horses but I have started breeding for racing as well."  He explained.  "The fancier breeders I keep up in the front acres around the house.  Well, those and my personal horses.  Duke is my best friend."  He grinned.  "I brought him over from Texas.  He's got some children of his own now that we keep for personal usage."
