Hovis’ third book goes on sale: Fifty Tastes of Hay
H&H’s largest online blogger — Hovis “The Destroyer” — has once again put his hooves to good use and launched his third book.
Hovis’ Friday Diary: Fifty Tastes of Hay was released last month (29 September) and details his past two year’s of antics — from dealing with Herman the German needle man [his vet] to waiting for the Badminton call-up from “Mr Fox-in-a-hole” or “Mr Knickerless”.
All proceeds will go to Bransby Horses — a decision that does not sit comfortably with the Clydesdale.
Hovis said: “Once again, 100% of the proceeds will go to the charity — mum and I will not make a penny from them (a bone of contention in our household, but there we go — ‘charity begins at home’ is my reason, but one mother clearly doesn’t subscribe to).”
The book is available now priced at £5.99. Order your copy
