It’s interesting how many farming techniques people aren’t familiar with unless they grow up around them. Can someone explain what he might be doing with the baby cow?

James Given is a respected and impressive man. Envoi Allen’s passing is talking point and his connections are devastated. Take 3 minutes to listen to this explanation from James about the suddenness of the issue, which affects 9 in every 10000 horses.

5 years ago this week, swore I’d never get another dog after Shankly. Coming out of Covid, so much ground to make up, in every way, but saw Paisley as a tiny puppy, and, well, that was that. He’s done his bit, and some. Glad I changed my mind. Keep walking…

Fantastic! A welcome addition to the stable. 2026 was our 9th year of sponsoring the Unibet Champion hurdle with the 6th different winning owner. Different silks, one thrilling race.

A #starter (excuse the pun) but let’s do away with tape starts and just have a flag. They bring nothing but potential problems. Horses apparently can’t see orange (that’s why we now have white hurdles and guard rails) and increased likelihood mechanical failure, entanglement..
