Hello all my friends, how are you? What have you been up to? I can not believe that the ground has now dried out so quickly. It is so not far mum has me on a diet and now the grass growth has slowed right down so I can not top up there. Is anyone else been placed on a diet? It is so not fair, I like my grub. Things are that bad that I actually look forward to my owner arriving in the morning as I know she'll give me some food.

To think just a couple of weeks ago many shows were cancelled, next thing we know our owners will have to stop competing due to the hard ground!

Actually in the terrible case of foot and mouth if it spreads then many shows will have to be cancelled again. It really is not a good year for show centres, I feel so sorry for them and feel many will feel a serious pull on their purse strings. Everyone keep their hooves, paws and fingers crossed that it has been contained.

If foot and mouth is contained and we receive no more torrential rain, what are you guys planning for the next couple of months? Think my mum intends to take me to some sponsored rides, SJ, XC and ODE. I have even heard talk on the yard that I may try my hoof at hunting! Wow that would be great, charging around the open countryside.

Anyway please keep me posted

Hello how are we all? God the weather has been awful, several parties that I was suppose to be attending have been cancelled. Do you think that the Royal International at Hickstead will go ahead for the 5 days? I personally think that if this weather continues then by the end of the show it'll be looking rather waterlogged. I feel so sorry for all those homes etc that have been flooded out and then 1000's of people without power and water

I am hoping to make a personal appearance at the Royal International Horse show - though this will be subject to weather. I hate getting my glossy coat all wet and matted.

Will any of you be attending? Make sure you come over the horsemart stand and try to find me. Pick up one of our goody bags for only £1 and also get a horsemart sticker from me.

If there are any other shows you think that I should attend then please let me know at comments@horsemart.co.uk I will then see what we can do and perhaps arrange a trade stand for there in 2008.

Good afternoon to all my equine mates. How are we all? What have you been up to? Did any of you attend the Hickstead Derby meet? God what a wet few days for our guys on the trade stand and all those poor competitors and horses.

I have attended Hickstead Derby for a number of years and I can never recall it looking like a mud bath. There was some very unhappy looking dogs out there.

I was not in attendance personally due to the wet going really not agreeing with my coat and I was so looking forward to having a go at the bank!

Well I am not making any more appearances now until The Royal International at Hickstead - mind you that is not long now.

I was glad that Geoff won, it was good to see the old boys winning it for the first time.

You must let us know of your stories. If you see the girls out and about in there horsemart tops make sure that you say hello to them

Take care

Boris

Well I am feeling pretty redundant this week after attending no shows the last week. Its all a bit of an anti-climax. Have you seen the weather forecast for this week - perhaps it is a good thing we are attending no shows.

Don't worry though Boris will be out and about again next week for the Hickstead Derby. Fingers crossed the weather is OK? Will any of you be competing or spectating? If competing what are you doing? I would love to do the Derby but I think I would get stage fright! That bank is huge, think I would be better off with all 4 hooves firmly planted on the ground.

If you do see me come up and say hi, give me a pat and get a sticker

Hey guys what have you been up to? Sorry I have not updated you recently, as you can see I have been busy at some of the large horse events. The picture above is of me at the South Of England show on one of the rocking horse displays. To the right is myself with 2 fans and Royal Bath and West show with 2 fans. Below is a picture of myself trying to win a car at the South of England show. What do you think? Would I make a good promotions person?

Did any of you go to the Royal Bath and West show or the South of England show? Did you see our horsemart stand there? Some of the staff were camping at Royal Bath and west for the week, which I understand proved to me quite an amusing few days although also hard work! We had a right mix bag of weather from gales, torrential rain and sunshine/ We would like to thank Tesco's for supplying our team with adequate shelter for the wet, cold nights. Everyone woke up try and cosy ready to start the day.

Our trailer was pitched up opposite the showing rings at Royal Bath and West and opposite the entrance to the main ring at SOE. I only managed to make an appearance on the Friday at Royal Bath and West, as the weather was playing havoc with my coat.

At the South of England show, I managed to make an appearance a couple of times on every day. It was pretty manic, the horsemart team managed to hand out a number of stickers to people that came to say hello to me. I have to say it was rather hot there. My next appearance will be for the Derby meet at Hickstead, so please come along to the horsemart stand to meet the team and also Boris. I will not be around all day but look out for me, I will be the big chestnut horse wearing a white t-shirt that says Boris.

Looking forward to meeting some more of my fans!
