I have been passionate about dogs and horses all my life. I still have two horses at my home in France; we have a lovely network of lanes and tracks to ride during the cool months of autumn, winter and spring – too much heat and too many flies in the summer!
My home in Suffolk was a mere 25 miles from the world centre of horseracing – Newmarket. I have always been sickened by the overbreeding of racehorses and I absolutely hate horse racing – especially ‘over sticks’ as jump racing is called.
