    Sycamore trees do kill!

    HOYS today - shocked at 'professional's' behaviour

    Ben Maher you treat your "Fans" with a contempt they do not deserve. We have been named "pony patters". Fluffy bunnies ect. You do not deserve their loyalty. I'm sure most deservedly you have lost their respect.

    POLL: Should riders wear equine clothing that closely resembles Police uniform?

    Yes we should wear it, yes I will continue to wear it. I'm not impersonating a police officer, I just want to hack out in safety. If it means someone driving to fast to close ect and my clothing makes them think twice it is saving lives. Surely that is the more important issue.
