Scratch by Sue Millard is a Cumbrian family drama of racehorses and fell ponies, of home and hearth.
Siân and Madoc have borrowed heavily to buy a neglected farm in Cumbria. They are land-rich now, but short of cash and indebted to the bank and members of their family.
Also I learned that you can have #horses and #pigs as #ServiceAnimals. One picture showed a dressed up horse with shoes and I'm curious if this is a thing for owners of such animals?
Search for "horse service animal" and you'll find a horse in a plane completely dressed up, which I find odd. Is this for better visibility, or personal preference?
It’s always a thrill to watch these old films of Secretariat. He knew he was a star.
I just learned that his heart weighed 22 lbs. The average racehorse’s heart is 9 lbs.
It's been waaay too long since I've celebrated a #WedsNeigh
Please appreciate this beautiful Arabian gelding's sweet face! He was getting ready for his girl to ride him in senior western bareback horsemanship class.
@ianbremmer From the WSJ: “…several people noted the spectacle of horses running wild covered in blood through central London didn’t look good. (Adding to the sense of doom was that the clock on the Elizabeth Tower, which houses the Big Ben bell, suddenly started telling the wrong time—an issue that was soon fixed.)” #london#monarchy#horses
