    Rough guide pls - what weight can i expect him to carry?

    Spring is in the air!!

    Had the same experience. Went on our favourite hack with two friends. My normally very sensible 13 yo TB was a complete fool, two spins, once whilst cantering and saw a fox hole that wasn't there last time and then when a pheasant went up. At least it gave some walkers something to see as we...

    Channel 4 Morning Line
