    Where is this "autumn flush" I hear tell of?

    West Wales. I've now got 4 acres of the lushest juiciest greenest grass I've ever seen. It looks positively lethal. Unfortunately, or possibly fortunately, for the ponies my mare is on box rest with a tendon injury, and her porky Exmoor boyfriend is locked up in the next door stable to keep...

    Pony Books in the 1970's

    Mine was too. Really jittery stop/start about every 5 seconds, this was on my laptop, it was slightly better if I turned the volume off. I finally managed to get it on the TV but then our internet went down twice for a while so missed quite a lot.

    FB - really poor scam attempt

    Ask for a photo of the horse's passport. Is the horse on a special diet? Would he deliver?

    Should we think of ditching cars in favour of horses?

    20 mph in Wales stats.. In the first three months of 2024, there was a 23% drop in serious casualties or fatalities on 20mph and 30mph roads. The number of people killed on the affected roads is down 35% compared with the same period the year before I have to say not everybody sticks to it...
