GOOD WEEK

HOVIS

The Clydesdale, whose diaries are a star attraction of the H&H website, teamed up with Mary King at Belton for a demo. The “Destroyer” not only gave a good bronc, but also locked on to a crosscountry fence. Any space on the Badminton wait-list?

SPOOKS

A paranormal apparition was recently “spotted” at Berkeley Castle. A drone caught the ghost, apparently riding a ghost horse, across the courtyard. We won’t judge, but will include one reader’s comment: “Can’t see a bloody thing. Should have gone to Specsavers?”

LASSOOING

Or should it be a bad week for the pony who thought he was heading for freedom in Texas, US? These things are often tricky for pursuing police but not these officers, who happened to have a top-class calf-roper in the car. Nice try, but back to the field with you.
