Horse & Hound’s equestrian week on Twitter

What a dashing hound

This looks like a LOT of fun

Note to self: When cold, don’t put clothing in the microwave

Racehorse Lord Landen can’t wait to get going at Kempton last week — no stirrups required

Is this a new craze? Hunting + selfie = helfie?

You see, even world number one showjumpers enjoy a leaf through the Horse & Hound classifieds

Perhaps AP McCoy’s wife has had a lot to put up with since he has been off games thanks to a fall earlier this month?

After National Hunt trainer Willie Mullins’ horses put on a stonking show last weekend with an incredible 8 winners out of 11 runners, this Tweet is looking like a good prediction

Ahh yes, the horse-opotamus — this beast oddly becomes a common sight amongst horse owners usually between the months of October and March. We feel your pain, Clare. 

And finally, it would appear event rider Ginny Howe’s farrier is on the warpath: ‘Banned from hunting. Hamilton loves foxes. Save the fellow gingers!’
