All we know about ours is that he was an adult cat when he turned up 20 years ago. He's pretty deaf and no longer grooms himself but otherwise looks grimly determined to carry on.

Not a lot of support for the graphics in this household- not very clear! And can't see much of the horses either through all the rain on the cameras. Feel like it wasn't this bad before. Anyone else think it's a bit slow? But otherwise they seem to be doing a good job- go ITV!

Always love these sorts of posts. Well done you!

Anything 16hh and bay- BORING. Otherwise I'm happy with a noble heavy horse, a flash Arab, an honest cob, a spirited PRE, an athletic TB or a characterful native.

Getting my Christmas shopping done early and trying to think what to get people is so hard! However I think my mother would love tickets to Olympia. Annoyingly Wednesday is sold out (some retirement ceremony or something!) But what are people's favourite days/evenings? I was thinking the...

In my experience, people just do what the ******* they want. They think farms are just big playgrounds and that all animals are in a petting zoo. Very frustrating and there's nothing you can do!

I got charged £40 for a call out fee when the vet's was 1 mile away so £70 for 30 miles is a bargain to me...

I think I'm going to wait for the results of the research currently being carried out as to whether raised testosterone really does give much of an advantage before I rush to judge. However it seems a bit odd for an athlete genetically better suited to 800m than me to complain about someone...

The only thing that concerns me about paying a lot for a happy hacker is that often they are that way through competent riding and regular schooling. Would they remain that way with a less able rider?

I do disagree- the horses look like they're enjoying cooling off and having a snooze. In any case it's just a snapshot of these horses' lives. Bit harsh to judge them without knowing more about their circumstances. The only criticism I'd make is no helmet...

Christ what have they done to the American horse? Is she a fire breathing dragon or something?

Looking good!

Personally I've always got on very well with peacocks but then I suppose I'm only 9 stone.
