Look, I know everybody thinks their animals are the cutest animals, but can we just take a moment to appreciate how ridiculously adorable my mini donkey is? Pepe is so fluffy and so cute and literally the best at photo shoots, I can’t believe he doesn’t have a modeling contract yet. If anybody is out there looking for a tiny donkey model, you know who to contact. Pepe-roni.

News From Around the Globe:
Tattersalls Horse Trials has announced their support for the USEA initiative to ask the FEI for compulsory use of frangible technology. They join Badminton Horse Trials, Eventing Canada, and several Olympic riders in voicing their strong belief that the FEI should mandate use of frangible technology on international cross country courses, rather than their current stance of “strong recommendation”.
