Hi
@AnimalRising
when will you be at Appleby horse fair. It’s starts a week Thursday and after watching all your videos and tv appearances I really hope your going to go there and make a stand 🤞🏻
⚠️Warning: Upsetting photos⚠️
This happened in the next village to me. This is the real cruelty that happens with horses but nobody talks about this. Where are the protesters?? Where are the people crying for horse racing to be banned.
I have now emailed
#AnimalRising
People may wonder why I’m doing this, well they want to disrupt horse racing where the horses have the upmost care…..so why not a horse fair where there be many horses to look at
@TalkTV
I applaud these people for what they’re doing….enough is enough and we got to take a stand against it all……
Oh, I’m not talking about the protesters, but the working people trying to remove them so they can get on with their day 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The
@racingblogger
documentary is finally coming to a screen near you soon.
📍Release date: 3rd of March
I can't wait to share this with you all, thanks for all the support over the years.
Hi
@piersmorgan
&
@Nigel_Farage
I’ve tried multiple times asking
@AnimalRising
their view and what stance they’ll be taking with Appleby horse fair which starts next week & I still haven’t gotten a answer.
Could you please use your platform to ask them.
Thanks
Absolutely devastated for my lad. My hero Notlongtillmay has sadly passed away. Gave me memories of a life time. Thank you my boy. RIP. Heartbroken is a understatement. He💔 🙏
After a awful start to Cheltenham, I really hope that crambo wins today to cement
@FOBRacing
1st festival winner.
I'm sure the whole of the racing community will be cheering crambo on

#mentalhealth
is real...I suffer from it...I’m on 3 different meds to try calm my mind....I overthink about overthinking....I fight with demons in my head each day and I know it’s hard for some but going to work to see this face makes it worth while

Hi
@elonmusk
There’s a horse who’s very close to heart being sold privately and I was wondering if you could spare £2500GBP so I can buy him?! With your wealth it’s a drop in the ocean but to me, he is the ocean!!
Awww doesnt he look sweet.....until he turned into a dickhead, refused to walk down the gallop, kicked the railings off in anger and scared the other horses....proper dickhead 😤😑
@AtTheRaces
Wants kicked out of the sport. He’s only “terribly sad” because he was caught out. Could of done some life changing injuries. Something similar happened at the Ecuador derby and the jockey was banned for life
Seriously people, be very careful out there!!
Was walking by, minding my own business when the wind caught me and I ended up in the club…..
Best stay here until it’s safe
Been there for a week and already have a favourite. Not going to drop his name yet but I like him a lot!!! Unraced but gives me a good feel on the gallops…..and my instinct hasn’t been wrong yet 🤞🏻 hopefully he’ll prove me right
Might be appreciated by the punters but I don’t know one person who’s happy to be leading up at 8.30 at wolves. And with Sunday evening racing fast approaching, I guarantee before the end of next year there’s going to be a major staff crisis in racing . Nobody thinks about us
Back to
@WolvesRaces
again for another enjoyable evening. Delighted this year that the evening meetings are continuing until 8.30pm after the clocks went back for the first time. Hugely appreciated by those working during the day.
He’s not just a horse….he’s stubborn, he’s hard work, he’s special but he’s honest….
He’s fatboy, and I wouldn’t change him for all the money in the world
#NewProfilePic
Lost my job this week too, my own fault because Instead of being truthful about my mental breakdown I made excuses up for not coming in. Probably a blessing in disguise as I wasn’t happy since losing fatboy and I was only there for him. Maybe a new career is needed
Being referred to my local mental health team, doctors said they’ll push it to be done sooner than later. Going to take a few weeks off work while I get sorted then I might give grant tuer a ring for a few mornings a week. Keep my foot in the door
#CantKeepAGoodManDown
Seeing Fatboy happy and settled thanks to
@EasterbyTim
has made my day. Nearly 3yrs together, 6 days a week, 4 falls and 2 broken ribs. The most stubbornness horse I sat on but he was honest and never ran a bad race. Still hurts not seeing him in his stable everyday 😔
This is my cocktail every night for my head. I'm single dad who still gets up, goes to work, smile, laugh and make other people laugh while battling fierce war in my head. I'm lucky to carry on, some are not. But fatboy takes my pain away for a few hours
#MentalHealth
Well he tried his best and we have no excuses. He did everything right and ran to his best ability for a class 2 race. I’m still very proud of him and we will come back bigger better and stronger. The story is far from over. Now he’s going to enjoy a month off. Thank you everyone
Been spring cleaning while sipping a few cans of Carling 🙄🙄 and once again
@QueenWillRock
live at Wembley ‘86 has accidentally fell on the tv!!!
And to me, this is Freddie’s best “ay up” even tho people think live aid is the he best!!
@OIQFC
Today’s the day…..can fatboy be the horse I think he is?! I’ll be more then happy if he placed but more importantly he comes home sound! I know it’s only a class 2
@yorkracecourse
but we’ve all worked hard over the 2yrs to get him to where he is today
🏇🏻💨💨💨💨
I was always told in racing, no.1 rule is don’t get attached.
But when you with them day in, day out, it becomes a problem. You can’t understand them, they understand you and you become connected.
It’s the most rewarding job but can also be the most heartbreaking job
My apologies to anyone/everyone who saw me crying at Tattersalls earlier as our 4 went through the ring. It’s impossible not to become attached. Anyone who thinks racehorses are unloved ought to spend an hour at the back of the sales ring I’ve seen a lot of tears this week.
🚨 BREAKING: a new 'Premier' tier of racing, a two-hour Saturday shop window and the trial of six Sunday evening floodlit fixtures are among the wide-ranging fixture list innovations set to be introduced from 2024 after being approved by the BHA board this week
30yrs today we lost the greatest showman in music. I could never get bored from listening or watching Queen, must of watched and listened to live at Wembley 86 tens of thousands of times

@OIQFC
Told myself that I won’t have any favourites or get attached to any horse after fatboy…..who was I kidding….let’s hope Archie can bring some magic to the racecourse
Owners snatching the horse off the stable lass leading
#adayar
honestly, I hate nothing more!! not only is it dangerous but it’s her time to shine with the horse.
A horse came down at the last at punchestown and the jockey got up and walked away from it….it laid down but thankfully it got up but you don’t just walk away, you make sure the horse is fine and if not stay with it until someone can
To me, horses are overgrown dogs.
They’re the most loyalist animals you’ll find, treat them with respect and they will love you just as much as you love them. Treat them wrong, and they can be nasty
Great councillors too who will listen to you everyday problems.
The fatboy does it again 🥳🥳 can’t take any credit for him as I’ve been off but well done to the team and Caitlin for keeping him right!!! Over the moon for him 🕺🏻🕺🏻 and of course his jockey
