H&H’s much-loved blogger gives us his thoughts on this festive time of year and feels baffled by humans’ New Year’s resolutions

Hovis

Those of you who know me (and if you don’t then I have to ask, “Where in the name of the nativity have you been all these years peoples?” Quick recap – Horse & Hound’s one-and-only equine blogger, celebrity ride to the stars and author of seven literary masterpieces) know I’m not a fan of this Kissmuss lark.

The concept of Kissmuss is great – loads of presents, snogging under mistle-hoof – however, there is a dark side. A sinister side. A side that allows humans to degrade us publicly in the name of “festive fun”.

One word people: antlers. They’re not cute, they’re a breach of my equine rights; I still have PTSD from my lady love singing, “There’s a moose loose about this hoose,” every time I walked past until March after the mothership insisted on a “festive photoshoot”.
