Im so pleased you acknowledged this Paddy. What she and Endo have achieved is simply breathtaking and just shows what can be done with love and trust. I can't imagine the heartache. RIP Endo

Thanks for this Maddie, looks fab, I'l watch tomorrow when work is quiet ;) Humble I remember Oliver Skeete, there was such a hoohar about a black guy riding wasn't there, he always seemed like a nice guy. Didn't he take up riding because he'd taken his daughter for lessons and he thought he'd...

Ive just read this too Reynold. I am BEYOND relieved and I know a lot of you will be too.

Good point about the first two flights at Cheltenham, CCL, I am still hopeful that they will see sense and bow to pressure because let's face it, a lot of their peers have come out saying they would not risk him over a hurdle (thankfully) if he were theirs. Anyone with half a brain can see it's...

To put my two-penneth worth in, if MB and NH decide to run him in either the Champion Hurdle OR take him to Australia in November, then they have proved its just about the money for me and I will lose any respect I ever had for the team.

I can't post a link but At The Races fb page have just shared that Sir Gino is doing well and responding to treatment which is really positive news. Crossing everything for him.

Yes! Until my horse broke I was having lessons with her (Welsh Sec D so not some massive dressage horse) and really rate her. I had her in the 90s with a previous pony too. She has helped me more than any other instructor, is really encouraging too. Go for it.

Agree 100%. I don't want to criticise the owner but surely CH has done more than enough, he's reached the heights only a few greats reach, let him do something else which isn't a risk to his life. I think its the owner personally, NH knows the risks and knows that it'll be his face on the...

From horse owning in the early 80s to now....how many ways there now are to end up poor, physios, dentists, saddle fitter, bridle fitter, special shoes because normal aren't good enough and oh my dear god the RUGS! It never fails to shock me. The underlying bitchiness just about everywhere...

I think Caroline is still alive and kicking, it was her husband that sadly passed.

I find this bizarre and uncomfortable viewing, I reflect what a lot of others have said, if the worst happens should they jump him in a race again then I hope they can somehow justify it. Horse seems to have totally bottled it and is no longer a safe conveyance. (Caveat to say I know Im not NH...

What a shambles. As well as the comments from Matt C, there have been comments from NH and his wife both stating that this has all been taken care of their end. I dont know what his current minder was thinking but it is bad to imply that they don't care. Think NH has enough on his plate this...

Crossing everything he can withstand the recovery and come good again, I keep thinking of the trauma (for me anyway) of monitoring the progress of St Nicholas Abbey, I was merely a fan of his and that was heartbreaking, so close and yet so far. For my, I would hope they could get him sound and...

Thanks for flagging up the Venetia clip, really enjoyed it and it reminded me of this one - apologies if it's already been posted. A friend of mine is related to Ruth Carr and often tells me about the great life her horses have. She features in the first 12 minutes of this long video so it's...

Yes it was Reynold, it was Nico who pulled him up and it probably did save his life. About CH, I'm another who hopes that his owner agrees to retire him. He was unbeaten in 10 races with Nico and was unstoppable, then had a long time off with injury and his return has been marred by these tip...
