Desert Orchid Open Day at the National Stud, Newmarket


Desert Orchid, 29 year old retired steeplechaser, who won the Grand National back in the 80's but still has an avid following as you can see here. His owners run a charity trust and hold an fundraising open day each year, where he is teh star attraction.

Yearlings


Shettland ponies lining up for start of annual Shetland Grand National,

a steeplechase run to Jockey Club rules.


It was rather hilarious to watch the tiny horses hooning round the course...
