    The week on twitter

    1. Trainer David Pipe and his team say one last thank you to AP McCoy who has ridden 1,224 winners for the yard

    2. AP McCoy pictured riding his first winner in Britain some 21 years ago

    3. Racing royalty bid farewell to the 20 times champion jockey

    4. William Fox-Pitt controls the feisty Bay My Hero at the Rolex Kentucky three-day-event trot up. “Moonie” did something pretty similar at last year’s Burghley Horse Trials trot up

    5. Horse & Hound’s eventing editor Pippa Roome makes the most of the “course ride” in Kentucky

    6. US event rider Lainey Ashker is overcome with emotion on posting a career best dressage score with her ex-racehorse Anthony Patch in Kentucky. The pair clocked 44.2 penalties to slot into second place behind Michael Jung

    7. World Cup champion Charlotte Dujardin celebrates her victory in Las Vegas

    8. We wonder if Valegro realises that he is a dressage phenomenon?

    9. Yes, you read it correctly. Do the rules need to be changed to accommodate keeping both dogs and rabbits under control on a lead at all times?
