Equestrian social media posts of the week
The perfect post-hunting routine
Whilst we are awaiting the photos from todays meet we thought that you would all enjoy a brief video of just how to care for your trusty steed post hunting – The Readyfield Way. Please pay particular attention to the magnificent facilities available to the horse in question – Sir Reggie. Also please note that the horse has his own personal entertainment system – Mr A Brown. Thank you for enjoying this short information and genuinely helpful video……..Hee Hee Hee. Many thanks to the videographer E Brown Productions

Like mother, like dog…
Ouch — we felt this one
So… last week went something a little like this… with rubbish weather, freezing cold, cancelled events, no prizes and even worse…the big “30”…. but looking forwards to spring and some sunshine! #mondaymotivation

And as it’s foaling season, here’s another cute one that could be Kitty King’s next superstar

Irish eventer Cathal Daniels is 21 and already has four-star form, but we think his commitment to cooking needs some work…
When Cathal Daniels Eventing came to train at DHI Event Horses he didn’t realise it was an all round “finishing school” experience. ?? Eventing Ireland HorseHour EquiRatings Horse & Hound #cookingwiththewoodheads

House rules
When you need milk but I know after 14 years together; walking into the house with my boots on just isn’t worth it!

This is why you should always check your lorry or trailer before you leave the yard. This rider arrived at a competition to find a cockerel and a hen in her lorry, the latter had also kindly laid an egg en-route
