I love nothing more than seeing pictures of top-level horses just being horses. Here, Laura Collet has gifted us all with a very cute Between the Ears moment on one of our most recent 5* champions, London 52, as they partake in what looks to be a very lovely and very green hack out in the fields. If that’s not a happy horse, what is?

Morning Viewing: As it turns out, Thomas is just not that into cake. On Cue — queen that she is — simply didn’t want to dirty her very royal nose, but the rest of Boyd Martin’s five-star crew were more than happy to have their cake and eat it too. I’m not going to lie to you… I watched this at least three times — it’s incredibly cute.
