Horse world goes wild for neighnominations
In the wake of the dangerous #neknomination craze — an online drinking challenge which lead to the deaths of some who took part — the horse world has moved on to safer ground, celebrating their best horses via “#neighnominations”.
Nominees, who get chosen by friends on social media, have 24hrs to post a picture of a particularly special horse (or horses) and explain why.
Numerous top riders, including multi-medallists Charlotte Dujardin and Sophie Wells (pictured above), have got involved with the latest trend.
Roland Tong paid tribute to Nadonna and posted a photo of her as a young horse.
