Some atmosphere at Doncaster Racecourse for student day. Probably one of the worst cards in terms of class ever run at the track - but more noise than for the St Leger. Loads looking at horses in the pre parade and many having a bet. If only Conservatives The Labour Party could see. 🙏🙏🙏

Wonderful day at Cheltenham! Especially because I finally got to see Sam Juckes commentate in person! Absolutely smashed it, of course! So proud! (Interview to come!) These pony racing days are so brilliant for seeing jockeys of the future. The passion is there in young people!!

Retirement from racing has not stopped Native River making more column inches and the 2018 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner is now bound for the grand finale at the Horse of the Year Show (Hoys) in October 💜💛 racingpost.com/bloodstock/new…

Great evening's racing at Klampenborg as part of EMHF AGM. Garden party atmosphere, world-class hospitality and competitive racing. Thank you so much Danish Jockey Club.

Productive day in Brussels discussing with 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇮🇪Northern Ireland Executive Office 🐎 MEP Horse Interest Group 🌊 European Parliament Seas, Rivers & Coatsal Regions Intergroup

Great Annual Meeting of European Pony Racing Association (part of EMHF). The kids' experience of competing at Ascot, with all the razzmatazz, they'll never forget, and Pony Racing administrators from several countries were pleased to witness it. Thanks to PRA & generous sponsors.

So great for racing that we have now Nina Carberry in the European Parliament. EMHF delegation was delighted to meet with her, and several other supportive MEPs, on our most recent Brussels Mission.

So very sad to read of Howard Wright's passing. Peerless racing journalist, lovely man and true friend of world racing. (Photo credit Racing Post)

So good to see EMHF Chair Brian Kavanagh honoured in Paris, on stepping down after 16 years as IFHA Vice-Chair. Great that we will still benefit from having him on board for another 8 months.

Congrats on two elections in Paris of EMHF team to key IFHA positions: Henri Pouret as Vice-Chair and Paull Khan re-elected to Executive Council. Julie Harrington, Suzanne Eade and Darragh O'Loughlin on board also, ensuring our region is strongly represented on global body

Beach Racing - where the surf needs no turf....

Great news that France's Henri Pouret has been elected to take over from Ireland's Brian Kavanagh as EMHF Chair, when Brian steps down next June after 14 great years in the saddle. Big shoes to fill and Henri's the man to fill them.

March's message from our Chair Dr. Eliot Forbes is all about the upcoming #IFAR2025 conference including how Olympian Boyd Martin will be our keynote speaker. Register here: eventbrite.com/e/2025-ifar-co…

Is the UK about to rejoin the EU? Not quite, but things are looking positive through the EU-UK Parliamentary Partnership Assembly!

End of an era. Brian Kavanagh bows out of EMHF Chairmanship after 15 years. Merano Racecourse provided a perfect venue for Brian's swansong at the EMHF's General Assembly. Here (left) receiving congratulations from Secretary-General, Paull Khan.

Good that Paull Khan, wh's been our Secretary-General for 12 years, will stay on as Chief Executive Officer until end-2027
