thank god i made a horse try first

Great couple of days at Epsom. So lucky to get as close as I do to these magnificent creatures... Oaks winner Thundering On, and Derby winner Christmas Day! It was great to see The King and Queen today too, committed to attending the races despite other commitments.

Why are donkeys wearing Arsenal socks? 🫏🤔

We have another Lamb Lamb abuser in the barn😫

My horse has just finished 3rd at Cheltenham! Probably the best day of my life. To be placed at the Cheltenham Festival... it's an indescribable feeling! Thank you @O_J_murphy91, @Sean_Bowen_, @MprUpdates, Mrs Brown, the dedicated groom... and most of all to Ikarak!

Dan Skelton says he has every intention for Kabral Du Mathan to run in the Stayers’ Hurdle at Cheltenham. He thinks he “could be a champion”

L’Eau du Sud all set for the Queen Mother Champion Chase.

The New Lion - the 5/2 favourite for the Champion Hurdle. Dan Skelton says he would have “gladly” taken on Constitution Hill, although that won’t be happening now.

Maestro Conti - a horse unbeaten on his sole three starts, including a Grade 2 last time out. Dan Skelton describes him as “one of my best chances going into Cheltenham.” Striking chestnut.

Going for gold! Grey Dawning this morning ahead of his Gold Cup bid at the Cheltenham Festival.

It was a brilliant night at Southwell Racecourse yesterday. Thousands gathered to see Constitution Hill - I’ve never seen anything like it at my local racecourse. The winners’ enclosure was 15 deep - people here to see an incredible horse.

A day for McNae

Princess Anne is visiting HM Leeds Prison today in her capacity as patron of the Butler Trust. Of all the days…

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of George, Banstead Manor Stud's resident stallion yard cat. George appeared shortly before Frankel's arrival in 2012 and had been a much-loved presence on the stallion yard ever since. Known to many as 'Frankel's cat', but affectionately referred to by team as 'Head of Security', George was always on hand to supervise Frankel tours, stallion visits and photoshoots, firmly believing that everyone was really there to see him. George will be missed by all of his fans and friends, but particularly by the team on the stallion yard 🐾
