We would like you to show off your 'oldies' and enter a photo competition. We have asked Julianne from the Veteran Horse Welfare to be the judge and here is how it works: You post one photo of your horse here on this thread, together with his / her age ( usually i think horses are considered Veteran from 16 upwards, but you decide if you think he / she is a veteran ) By the closing date of Friday 26th October, midnight, you need to have sent your entry fee of £2.50 either by cheque or paypal and include the reference VHW on it ( any not recieved by that date, will not be included ) Of course, those of you who have several oldies might like to enter more than one, in which case its £2.50 per horse Julianne will judge and we will announce the winners shortly after the closing date. The first prize has been very kindly donated by the lovely Eileen ;D Ask Monty - A signed copy of his latest book. Second and third place will recieve a pack of Xmas cards from the VHW and donated by me. Have fun and we look forward to seeing your lovely horses.

Meet Tramp, he is 39 years young and I have had the privilege of owning him for the past 20 years or so. He is truly perfect.
