Long day for the horses, it was bitterly cold at Mosspaul when they arrived - a few casualties, lost shoes, one rider with what looked like broken arm, but still in the plate!

Watch out Buddy, your turn next year - girls were only recently allowed to take part, it was men only for years, so we should support it.

Brilliant. They did an article on it a few years ago in Your Horse (well I assume it was the same thing - "commons" pops out at me)
