    Goodbye my gorgeous girl

    Older mare PTS, help me work out what might have been wrong

    So sorry that you had to make the call, but 100% support that you made the call. Setting them free from pain is never wrong.

    My next equine project horse

    Oh my Ted. Surely a big strong lad like you can deal with a couple of trollops? And how the heck can you be 15 already? Here’s to many more years of your antics - but remember you’re all grown up now and not allowed to play pranks on Mum.

While the information is easily found if you know where to look (www.gov.uk and search "vehicle recall"), I've attached your...

    2025 Eventing Euros - long list

    But we can’t blame the BBC for this. They are working with the feed provided by the FEI. And we need to get the viewing figures on BBC so that we do get BBC coverage of future events.

    Best skull cap

    I agree with Teapot that everyone should have the highest spec that both fits properly and that they can afford to buy. I was utterly shocked to see the damage to my skull cap when I had the most innocuous slide down the neck of a horse that had tripped on landing (from a small cross pole) on a...
