Horse & Hound’s equestrian week on Twitter

Enjoy the H&H team’s top tweets from the equestrian twitterverse this week.

That’s a good looking prize haul, but we’re marginally more interested in the whereabouts of the €339,500 Scott Brash won in Saturday night’s final of the Global Champions Tour in Doha?

Eventer’s problems…

This horse looks slightly embarrassed by what his owner has put him through. Still, at least it was all for a good cause.

Is this fine looking beast destined to join Louise’s 2014 number one British Eventing points winner Whitson at the top of the leaderboard in 2015? We’re just grateful we’re not the ones having to plait that mane…

Jilly Cooper + Toast = Amazing

This little filly foal looks thrilled with her new hair-do

And the cutest picture of the week award goes to Noble Mission and his furry friend saying farewell to each other.

Vere Phillipps’ great Coral Cove, who completed several four-stars and amassed 1,293 British Eventing points along the way, looks to be enjoying his retirement

Rower and London 2012 Olympic gold medallist Helen Glover would argue that the sport of newly crowned Sunday Times and Sky Sports sportswoman of the year Charlotte Dujardin isn’t the only one involving sizeable partners.

And finally, this is the moment a Frankel filly sold for an eye-watering €1.8m yesterday (20 November) — could she be a future champion?
