The Latest in Equine News

Dear diary, It appears that mother nature is still in a snit with herself and the rest of us – in fact, I’d go so far as to say she’s in a hell of a mood with “hell” being the operative word here. I’m pretty sure Cerberus himself would go on strike if forced to

Dear diary, I have said this before and I will say it again – there is no doubt whatsoever that Mother Nature is indeed female. Now, clearly the term “mother” might be seen to give it away, but then we live in times when one shouldn’t assume anything, so actually it’s her behaviour where the

Dear diary, So, my period of not being in the doghouse was shorter lived than the Government not being on the front pages for their belief that Chardonnay is essential office stationary. Just like the Government, it doesn’t mean the other fella is any better-behaved, mind you – just means I might have taken aim

Dear Diary It appears that there is indeed a god – no doubt female, mercurial, slightly unpredictable, and at times very hard to understand, but all powerful none-the-less.

Dear diary, Well just like the blonde bushy haired barnetted human herd leader, I appear to have got away with my indiscretions of the past week – i.e. jumping on Aunty Emily’s toe in a way that sort of broke it like. She has limped to see me and assured me that she doesn’t harbour

Dear diary, Apologies for my lack of diary last week, but my scribe had the audacity to bob off on holiday and so I had no one to dictate to – to be clear, her typing is the only skill set she brings to the party and from the frequency of grammatical and spelling errors

Dear Diary I am hereby informing you of my intent to sue the Royal Mail for their role in the greatest oppression since… well since ever. You may wonder why on earth passive, mild mannered lickle ol’ me would have to reach this level of action right?  Well, I shall tell you.  I hear tell

Dear Diary It’s fair to say I have always known that I was a heavyweight in the horse world, but this week we had it confirmed. Unfortunately, this wasn’t my arrival into the Top 100 list of the world’s most influential people (as in my view it should have been), but instead due to a
