Okay so I have done it again and treated myself to another share in an Owners Group horse. (I think lockdown is getting to me!) But let me introduce you to my new hurdler, the 6 year old bay mare, Wouldubewell. She was purchased from the sales after winning her…
In line with Government guidelines, racing closed it’s doors back in March and racing fans have been eagerly awaiting news of it starting up again. From April there were rumours of starting again as soon as the Government relaxed the lockdown with the BHA putting plans in place so that…
One of my all time favourite horse games was Champion Jockey I had on Xbox 360. Since upgrading to the Xbox One I can’t play this anywhere, so wanted to find something similar to play. Unfortunately there isn’t much choice at all when it comes to horse games so I…
We are now in week 8 of lockdown in the UK and I think it has hit us all one way or another. I have been incredibly lucky during lockdown, I am working from home, the first few weeks of lockdown was incredibly busy for us. I’m also still living…
It’s not unusual for people to teach their horse’s tricks. It might be something small like giving kisses or really helpful like getting them to line themselves up to the mounting block for you to get on. Those who practice things like Liberty work with horses might teach more complex…
This week I announced the winners of our search to find the top 6 ex racehorses in the UK. If you read our post with all the entries we had, you will know how many fantastic horses were entered. It was really hard to pick just six so I wanted…

Our search for the best ex racehorse in the UK is now closed and I now have the really difficult job of trying to narrow them down to the top 6! But with over 30 entries coming in from Facebook and Instagram, I thought I would put all the entries…
For most people, the only good thing about the country being in lockdown has been that the weather has been gorgeous. So leaving the house for your daily exercise or spending time in the garden has been glorious. However, at our yard we have been praying for rain! Fertiliser Last…
Okay so we have jumped on the bandwagon slightly and brought you our very own emoji quiz! Below are 10 racehorses. They might still be racing or retired. Some are famous and some should be familiar faces. How many can you get? 1. ☁️☁️☁️☁️ 2. 🐯 🍞 3. ⛰️🌧️ 4.…
At least one sky lantern company has created a special sky lantern to be released as part of the Clap for the NHS on a Thursday evening with all proceeds going to the NHS. While this is a lovely idea, please do not release these (or any) sky lanterns. Fire…
Lot’s of people have been impulse buying since being on lock down. This week I had my first impulse buy after logging into view my Owners Group horses. Meet Chez Hans! He is a 4 year old gelding who started over hurdles with Paul Nicholls this winter with reasonable performance.…
Scottie’s 6 months of rehab after his last MRI are over and we should now be looking at him again to see if we can think about getting back on. But with everything going on right now, it’s not going to happen just yet. I had a look at him…
To combat all the doom and gloom about Covid-19, we are running a competition to find the best ex racehorse in the UK! What are we looking for? Does your ex racehorse have a goofy personality you can’t help but adore? Have they over come some major milestones to become…
