What is incorrect in this sentence?

Hello teachers!

I have a sentence which is a bit confusing to me.

The sentence is :

While at Churchill, I saw a friend of your yesterday schooling in the paddock.

I guess two parts are incorrrect,

1. 'while' needs 'subject and verb' after that, isn't it?

2. 'your' should be 'yours' becoz 'saw' need an object in that sentence!

Plz let me know which is correct!

Thanks a lot teachers!! Emotion: big smile

Ellisa While at Churchill, I saw a friend of your yesterday schooling in the paddock. I saw a friend of yours . I think it would read better if you moved "yesterday" up: While at Churchill yesterday, I saw a friend of yours schooling in the paddock.
