After the dreadful scenes showing a footballer kicking his cat, I have just seen appalling film of (Sir) Mark Todd hitting a grey pony many times to get it to jump into water. |"Toddy" has been one of my heroes but not any more. Anyone who deals with horse know that they need encouragement and possibly a "lead" to go into water at first.
A truly shocking piece of film and I hope it is thoroughly investigated. Apparently, it is about two years old. If The Queen sees it I hope she takes away his knighthood.11
