Equestrian blogs – Horse & Hound- Hovis’ Friday diary: ‘The inequality of life...’ February 14, 2025Dear diary, I have enjoyed a mostly quiet week as she who must be obeyed was in Port Seagull for a work-related international kick off thing. It was the first time that she has been away properly since her human kissing spines operation and apparently she can confirm she sets the metal detectors off now […]
- Hovis’ Friday diary: ‘Our level of sacrifices need to rise to prompt spring to do its thing’ February 7, 2025Dear diary, A lot like my stressage sheets of old often used to say, I’m pretty sure all our report cards would read “could try harder” right now.

- Hovis’ Friday diary: ‘If 2025 sucked any harder, Dyson would be suing it for plagiarism’ January 17, 2025Dear diary, Well done whoever it was that went and soothed Elsa’s ruffled feathers – she does need to understand that the cold bothers everyone else, despite her warblings – but whoever was on point to deal with Mother Nature seems to have fallen a little shy of the mark. To put this into perspective, […]
- Hovis’ Friday diary: ‘Unlike Elsa, the cold does bother us…’ January 10, 2025Dear diary, Firstly, Hoppy New Year!
