Five things you didn’t know…
1 He has to be fed first in the yard. He doesn’t give you any other option — there wouldn’t be any door left on his stable otherwise.
2 He knows when holiday time begins — straight after HOYS. He digs his bed, kicks the door until his winter rugs are put on and he then takes you to the field. Don’t even bother trying to catch him!
3 He only ever wears his double bridle in the ring and as soon as it goes on he knows where he is going.
4 He has the most amazing jumping ability so maybe working cobs next year?
5 He dislikes being trimmed and hates his tail being pulled.
