thanks for the like bestie here is all the horatio lore i can semi-coherently elucidate at this time. tl;dr the name is a pain in the ass and so is his unicorn
just a city boy born and raised in south detroit. except there is no south detroit so he was born and raised in north windsor or something lmao. knew nothing but asphalt, polluted air, and general metropolitan bustle until the invitation to unicorn academy made its way to his doorstep. many a dog pissed on the box while he was debating whether or not it was a bomb.
parents were raised in a doomsday cult. this isn’t too relevant he just values the truth a lot because of it. which is exactly what you want in a student at the school of suspending one’s disbelief right
slightly more relevant he has a very strong fear of heights. palpitations if he’s more than a centimetre away from the emergency call button on any given elevator. he dropped a full dollar out his window at age five and has been traumatised ever since. which is exactly what you want in a student at the school of suspending one over various perilous landscapes right
back to being irrelevant he’s good at maths but only because he’s got a hundred spreadsheets open at any given time to minmax mmorpgs. consistent regional fourth placer in competitions and perfectly content with that.
but anyways! he did not enjoy the ride over and nearly fell out several times. nearly fell over seeing more than five trees in his periphery. actually fell into an infinite conga line of negative thoughts upon finding out that his unicorn had the power of flight. got into emerald dorm and half-jokes that it’s because the hue of the gem matches the ever-rising bile in his throat
hated the riding jacket because it made him look like a lawyer. he got one anyways because he is not a main character and has more positive feelings about the piss yellow tie.
sooooo adamant that his hair turned a dusky periwinkle. it’s grey just say it’s grey (because statistically speaking there’s no way all the kids get cool hair colours and streak placements) (but mostly because i think it’s funny)
also his unicorn is named sky and he spent the entire year trying to convince people it’s the other way around. probably would’ve done so even if his unicorn’s name was cirrocumulus cloud or bird poop
this should go without saying but he had so many life-and-death moments before the final test. like month three and he was still mistaking the winkle wash for pepto bismol. if sky jumped over anything higher than a twig he had a 50/50 chance of jumping into the nearest mud puddle to save himself from a concussion. sorry buddy there’s no b plot to jump start your education!
had never seen a school library in his life prior to unicorn academy. honestly didn't see much of its library either he slept through 9/10 study halls
got the hang of things eventually. what things? well. let’s just say. things because i’m not googling any more horse photos jesus christ
at the very least he started treating his unicorn like a friend instead of a great scary beast moments away from feasting on his beautiful dusky periwinkle hair <3
it was the day before the final test. everything was going great. he had eaten real food for breakfast without tipping the dwerpins with the last of his birthday money. he hadn’t thought about how his league of legends ranking had to be dropping so hard in a full five minutes. he had, however, been standing behind sky when a bird somewhere in a five-kilometre vicinity made a sound loud enough to incite a strong kick.
teachers called it a broken tailbone. classmates may or may not have called it a broken butt. horatio called it the best reason yet to drop out of school. sky could have another rider, and many more riders after that to abandoned boot, but he couldn’t have another tailbone. and even if he could, he wasn’t certain he could stomach the experience. especially seeing as he had an especially bruised stomach.
spent summer with a walker under the watchful eyes of his utterly befuddled parents. but he got his xbox back so everyone was happy! except his unicorn probably (she gave her next rider a 10x harder time out of guilt)
became an accountant after graduating from the tri-state’s most mediocre university and, in later adulthood, believed his time at unicorn academy was a really long lsd trip from some really bad halloween candy. he adopted a child after getting promoted to managerial accountant at some insurance firm, appeased her grandmother by naming her macbeth instead of bethany, and lived the rest of his life blissfully ignorant to the existence of unicorns as anything other than his daughter’s favourite piece of fantastical decor. when he’d gotten so good at making up stories about them was something of a mystery.

Are you going to the races, but have no ideas what to wear?Don’t worry, this style guide will make sure you’re looking the part for the big day out.Gentleman, having a day at the races is not just about putting a few bets on the horses anymore, well, has it ever been?Key TakeawaysDressing up in formal or smart casual is going to be the best option for your dress code.People like to dress up, so wearing a suit is going to mean you fit in.Check the dress code of the racecourse and paddock you’re in, as there’s many different rules for each track and paddock.A smart outfit can consist of: A suit, smart shirt, tie, smart shoes, pocket square and sunglasses.Smart casual choice could be: Blazer, shirt, trousers, shoes.Choose shirts over T-shirts, and shoes over trainers.Dressing casual and fancy dress should be avoided.Fashion at the races is almost more important than the horse racing itself, and has been known to take centre stage.It doesn’t matter if it’s the first time you’re going, it’s an annual tradition for you and your friends or if you’re a seasoned veteran, this is one event where nailing the style is key.There’s always been a lot of emphasis on what the ladies are wearing, and who’ll have the best or most outlandish hat, but men’s style is just as important.Knowing what to wear to the races is important, and you should be as stylish as your female counterpart.Let the ladies bring the glamour, and the gents bring the style.It’s time to get suited and booted!What To Wear To The Races: Quick HacksThe most simple outfit is the classic suit. This comprises of:Suit jacketTrousersPlain ShirtTieSmart ShoesIf you’re looking for a quick and easy way to get dressed for the races with style, a suit should be your go to.The Dress Code At Horse Racing FestivalsI’m not talking about the fashion rules just yet, I’m talking about the actual dress code or guidelines different festivals and events have in place.They will differ, they can even differ on the day you go, or even the enclosure you are looking to enjoy your day at.Some are a bit dressier, some a bit more casual, so to get the anxiety out of the way it’s best to check their own fashion advice on what is and isn’t allowed.Going to the races has always been a bit of a fashion event in it’s own right. There’s ladies day for the girls, with the best dresses, outfits and of course hats of fascinators.When it comes to men, it’s time to suit up and dress to impress.What To Wear At Royal AscotOne of the most important horse racing meetings in the calendar, and has a dress code to match.This very much depends on which enclosure you will be going to, with some having more strict and traditional dress codes than others.If you’re going to the Royal enclosure, gentlemen are required to wear a black or grey morning suit which includes a waistcoat and tie (no cravat), a black or grey top hat, black shoes with socks.The Queen Anne enclosure dress code requires a suit with tie, shoes and socks, with the village enclosure requiring a smart jacket, collared shirt and tie.The Windsor enclosure is the least formal but still requires you to be smart, with a jacket, shirt and trousers, but there’s no formal dress code.It goes without saying that sportswear such as football shirts are not allowed anywhere, along with fancy dress. You can read more on the Royal Ascot dress code here.Royal Ascot OutfitGrey Suit and TiePlain ShirtSmart Black ShoesPocket SquareWhat To Wear To The Cheltenham FestivalThe Cheltenham Festival is one of the key dates in the racing calendar, and with it being in March, weather can play a part in your clothes.The good news is there’s no formal dress code, but if you want to look the part, men usually wear suits around the club enclosure and hospitality areas.Fancy dress is permitted in March but you can be turned away at their discretion. This is however a guide to looking your best, so a suit is always going to be advised around here.You can find out more on the official Cheltenham website here.Cheltenham Festival OutfitNavy SuitPink TieLight Blue ShirtBrown Oxford ShoesWhat To Wear To The Grand NationalIf there’s one day in the racing calendar which everyone looks out for, it’s the Grand National.The race at Aintree is the jewel in the horse racing crown, even if you’re not a racing fan, it’s tradition to have a bet every April.The weather can be as unpredictable as trying to pick out a winner, but there’s plenty of ways you can keep stylish.The televised event means that all eyes could be on you, so it’s even more important to look your best, as everyone else will be.There is no formal dress code at the Grand National at Aintree, but sports clothing and fancy dress is not permitted.Wearing a really good fitting suit is something you should definitely be thinking about, the classic colours of grey or navy will never go wrong.If you’re into pea-cocking this is one of the events to do it at, wearing patterns or colours could be considered, with stand outs such as greens, reds or beige.Another option could be separates, which is wearing a different colour blazer to the trousers, just make sure they compliment each other.You can read the official dress code guidance here on the Grand National website.Suits For The RacesWhen it comes to horse racing attire, the most obvious thing to wear is a suit. A day at the races should be fun, and you don’t want to look like the same as you do every day in the office.You can wear something which is a little more bolder or brighter than your usual black suit you may wear at work.It’s the perfect opportunity to show off your own personality and add a bit of style and colour to an outfit, and a great excuse to get dressed up.You can try different colours such as plum, light or dark blues, cream or beige colours will also work well in the summer and give you more of a lighter look.You can look at something patterned, rather than a plain grey colour, try a modern check pattern in a mid grey colour.In the Summer and warmer months, you can opt for wearing a linen suit, which will keep you cool while still looking effortlessly stylish. If you’re buying for versatility, a 100% wool suit is the perfect fabric to select.Mix And Match Jacket And Trousers Colour CombinationsSeparating the colour combinations is something which is really exciting and could very well set you apart from the rest of the crowd.It means exactly what you think it does, simply wearing a different colour bottom to top.So that’s a different colour jacket to the trousers. This type of tailoring and fashion has become increasingly popular and is a trend I personally love, especially for the summer seasons.For this to work you have to make sure that you find trousers, a shirt and a jacket which compliment each other well, which is not always an easy task.Using core colours is a good way to make sure everything matches up well; Dark blue or navy trousers should work with a grey jacket, to finish off with a light blue shirt.On the flip side, some light beige trousers with a navy jacket and a classic white shirt will work well too.Smart Shoes For The Horse RacesSmart Shoes from Kurt GeigerYour footwear should be smart, so we’re talking shoes, not trainers, not even smart ones.That said, it doesn’t mean they have to be boring. In terms of colour and style they should be fitting with the rest of your outfit.If you’re wearing a suit you may want to keep it smart with a pair of plain black or brown Oxford’s or Derbies which will keep the tone of the outfit smart and slick.If you’re going for a more colourful look with separate jacket and trousers or chinos, you could try a pair of brogues which can still be smart but inject some colour into your footwear, or a pair of smart suede shoes.Read the guide on men’s shoes.The Best Shirts For The RacesIf you’re going to inject some colour into your look with the suit/jacket/trousers, you’ll want to calm down the colour palette and neutralise your look with a shirt in a timeless colour which will keep you looking distinctive but not like you’re over doing it.Timeless colours include white, greys and blues, match these up with the rest of your outfit.A bright white shirt will go with almost anything, if you have any doubts, and it will set it up nicely for a tie.Men’s Outfit Accessories For The RacesDon’t Forget A Tie And Pocket SquareBeing smart is all in the little details, so you should not neglect them.You’ll want a tie to go with your shirt and jacket combination, so make it a good one. Again, just because it’s quite a formal piece that doesn’t mean it has to be plain and boring.Go for something with a colour which compliments the shirt and jacket, inoffensive patterns and stripes are a really good idea and add more of an edge than a plain tie would.You’ll want a pocket square too, depending on the rest of the outfit you can go for the simple but classic square fold, which is as easy to do as it sounds.If your outfit is understated you can dress it up with a distinctive pocket square, which can create a real talking point and add a touch of uniqueness.Remember that you can go for a matching tie and pocket square, or for even more individuality, you can get two which compliment each other (as well as the suit) but don’t match.Accessories – A Watch And SunglassesWatches are for men what a diamond ring or expensive handbag is to a woman. It’s one of the only pieces of jewellery or accessories we wear, and I think some investment should be made in getting a really good, man’s watch.The choice to make when it comes to watches, is to wear a dress watch to go with your smart suit. These come with a leather strap more often than not, with a simple and classic face.You can spend as little as £100 on a nice minimalist watch, a few hundred on a good watchmaker, with prices going up to the sky for a luxury timepiece.When it comes to sunglasses, a good pair of Ray Ban are timeless and will last for years to come. A good pair of aviators or clubmaster sunglasses could be worn, and always look stylish.Can You Wear Shorts To The Races?One of the biggest questions is can you wear shorts to horse racing events? It’s a good question, the short answer is it depends.Shorts can sometimes be permitted, but this depends on a few factors, those being: The race event venue, the paddock you’re in, the weather and of course the dress code.If there is a dress code then you must adhere to that. Many race meetings will have different dress codes for different paddocks and enclosures, some more strict than others.There has been a more acceptance of less formal clothing over the years at some events. Some, such as York Racecourse, do permit men wearing shorts.But don’t just turn up wearing a pair of swim shorts.You should wear smart shorts such as tailored shorts which compliment the rest of your outfit well. You can read my guide on the best shorts for men, and head to the smart shorts section for some tips.What To Wear To The Races When It’s ColdIf you’re going to the races when it’s cold, you might be wondering what to wear.In the horse racing world there’s plenty going on in Spring and Winter, and these months can get a bit chilly to say the least. It could be raining, windy or just freezing cold.For example the Cheltenham festival takes place in March, which can have unpredictable and variable weather conditions.With that said, the dress code is more relaxed, and you’ll be able to wear something more appropriate, if the weather conditions are a bit on the cold side.To maintain a smart look, you can go for an overcoat. This will keep your look smart while also keeping you warm.Go for an overcoat which compliments your suit colour, you could wear a camel overcoat, or choose something a bit darker such as black, grey or navy blue.For footwear, it could be preferable to go for a pair of Chelsea boots. These are the smartest boots you’ll find, and are almost like shoes, but are ankle length.You can keep yourself warm by wearing a scarf along with the suit, which will add some detail to your overall look, and will not look out of place in the Winter.What To Wear To The Races Casual OutfitHere I am wearing a grey suitYou want to go to the races but you’re not a formal dress kind of guy? There could be some more casual outfits you can wear to the races.Casual is of course subjective, and as already mentioned throughout this article, it’s always best to check the dress code of any horse racing meeting you’re going to.Having said that, there could be more casual options for you to choose from.The key here is to get the basics right. To fit in with a more casual look, you can opt for a simple outfit, which could be the following:Clean plain shirtBlazer jacketPair of trousers or dark jeansSmart or casual shoes (Derby, Oxford, brogues or similar)Some race events will even allow fancy dress, but this is at their discretion, and only certain meetings in certain places/paddocks.VerdictWhether you choose to play it safe and elegant with a nice fitting blue suit, or you go down a more colourful look with separates, remember you’re there to have fun.Think about the outfit as a whole rather than single pieces, making sure the colours of different pieces work well with each other.Men’s Race Day Outfit Ideas And Inspiration What To Wear To The Races: MenFix up look sharp – Wear a suitMake sure you’re grooming is on pointMake sure you’re smelling good with your best scentWinter racing event? Wear a smart jacket or overcoatGet the details & accessories right: Watch, cufflinks, tie, sunglassesSummer Horse Racing Event? Wear a lighter colour suit, or wear “separates”, different colour trousers & jacket.The Major Horse Racing Events In 2025Now you know what to wear, here’s a rundown of the biggest horse racing events for 2023.

This type of tailoring and fashion has become increasingly popular and is a trend I personally love, especially for the summer seasons.For this to work you have to make sure that you find trousers, a shirt and a jacket which compliment each other well, which is not always an easy task.Using core colours is a good way to make sure everything matches up well; Dark blue or navy trousers should work with a grey jacket, to finish off with a light blue shirt.On the flip side, some light beige trousers with a navy jacket and a classic white shirt will work well too.Smart Shoes For The Horse RacesSmart Shoes from Kurt GeigerYour footwear should be smart, so we’re talking shoes, not trainers, not even smart ones.That said, it doesn’t mean they have to be boring. In terms of colour and style they should be fitting with the rest of your outfit.If you’re wearing a suit you may want to keep it smart with a pair of plain black or brown Oxford’s or Derbies which will keep the tone of the outfit smart and slick.If you’re going for a more colourful look with separate jacket and trousers or chinos, you could try a pair of brogues which can still be smart but inject some colour into your footwear, or a pair of smart suede shoes.Read the guide on men’s shoes.The Best Shirts For The RacesIf you’re going to inject some colour into your look with the suit/jacket/trousers, you’ll want to calm down the colour palette and neutralise your look with a shirt in a timeless colour which will keep you looking distinctive but not like you’re over doing it.Timeless colours include white, greys and blues, match these up with the rest of your outfit.A bright white shirt will go with almost anything, if you have any doubts, and it will set it up nicely for a tie.Men’s Outfit Accessories For The RacesDon’t Forget A Tie And Pocket SquareBeing smart is all in the little details, so you should not neglect them.You’ll want a tie to go with your shirt and jacket combination, so make it a good one. Again, just because it’s quite a formal piece that doesn’t mean it has to be plain and boring.Go for something with a colour which compliments the shirt and jacket, inoffensive patterns and stripes are a really good idea and add more of an edge than a plain tie would.You’ll want a pocket square too, depending on the rest of the outfit you can go for the simple but classic square fold, which is as easy to do as it sounds.If your outfit is understated you can dress it up with a distinctive pocket square, which can create a real talking point and add a touch of uniqueness.Remember that you can go for a matching tie and pocket square, or for even more individuality, you can get two which compliment each other (as well as the suit) but don’t match.Accessories – A Watch And SunglassesWatches are for men what a diamond ring or expensive handbag is to a woman. It’s one of the only pieces of jewellery or accessories we wear, and I think some investment should be made in getting a really good, man’s watch.The choice to make when it comes to watches, is to wear a dress watch to go with your smart suit. These come with a leather strap more often than not, with a simple and classic face.You can spend as little as £100 on a nice minimalist watch, a few hundred on a good watchmaker, with prices going up to the sky for a luxury timepiece.When it comes to sunglasses, a good pair of Ray Ban are timeless and will last for years to come. A good pair of aviators or clubmaster sunglasses could be worn, and always look stylish.Can You Wear Shorts To The Races?One of the biggest questions is can you wear shorts to horse racing events? It’s a good question, the short answer is it depends.Shorts can sometimes be permitted, but this depends on a few factors, those being: The race event venue, the paddock you’re in, the weather and of course the dress code.If there is a dress code then you must adhere to that. Many race meetings will have different dress codes for different paddocks and enclosures, some more strict than others.There has been a more acceptance of less formal clothing over the years at some events. Some, such as York Racecourse, do permit men wearing shorts.But don’t just turn up wearing a pair of swim shorts.You should wear smart shorts such as tailored shorts which compliment the rest of your outfit well. You can read my guide on the best shorts for men, and head to the smart shorts section for some tips.What To Wear To The Races When It’s ColdIf you’re going to the races when it’s cold, you might be wondering what to wear.In the horse racing world there’s plenty going on in Spring and Winter, and these months can get a bit chilly to say the least. It could be raining, windy or just freezing cold.For example the Cheltenham festival takes place in March, which can have unpredictable and variable weather conditions.With that said, the dress code is more relaxed, and you’ll be able to wear something more appropriate, if the weather conditions are a bit on the cold side.To maintain a smart look, you can go for an overcoat. This will keep your look smart while also keeping you warm.Go for an overcoat which compliments your suit colour, you could wear a camel overcoat, or choose something a bit darker such as black, grey or navy blue.For footwear, it could be preferable to go for a pair of Chelsea boots. These are the smartest boots you’ll find, and are almost like shoes, but are ankle length.You can keep yourself warm by wearing a scarf along with the suit, which will add some detail to your overall look, and will not look out of place in the Winter.What To Wear To The Races Casual OutfitHere I am wearing a grey suitYou want to go to the races but you’re not a formal dress kind of guy?

Again, just because it’s quite a formal piece that doesn’t mean it has to be plain and boring.Go for something with a colour which compliments the shirt and jacket, inoffensive patterns and stripes are a really good idea and add more of an edge than a plain tie would.You’ll want a pocket square too, depending on the rest of the outfit you can go for the simple but classic square fold, which is as easy to do as it sounds.If your outfit is understated you can dress it up with a distinctive pocket square, which can create a real talking point and add a touch of uniqueness.Remember that you can go for a matching tie and pocket square, or for even more individuality, you can get two which compliment each other (as well as the suit) but don’t match.Accessories – A Watch And SunglassesWatches are for men what a diamond ring or expensive handbag is to a woman. It’s one of the only pieces of jewellery or accessories we wear, and I think some investment should be made in getting a really good, man’s watch.The choice to make when it comes to watches, is to wear a dress watch to go with your smart suit. These come with a leather strap more often than not, with a simple and classic face.You can spend as little as £100 on a nice minimalist watch, a few hundred on a good watchmaker, with prices going up to the sky for a luxury timepiece.When it comes to sunglasses, a good pair of Ray Ban are timeless and will last for years to come. A good pair of aviators or clubmaster sunglasses could be worn, and always look stylish.Can You Wear Shorts To The Races?One of the biggest questions is can you wear shorts to horse racing events? It’s a good question, the short answer is it depends.Shorts can sometimes be permitted, but this depends on a few factors, those being: The race event venue, the paddock you’re in, the weather and of course the dress code.If there is a dress code then you must adhere to that. Many race meetings will have different dress codes for different paddocks and enclosures, some more strict than others.There has been a more acceptance of less formal clothing over the years at some events. Some, such as York Racecourse, do permit men wearing shorts.But don’t just turn up wearing a pair of swim shorts.You should wear smart shorts such as tailored shorts which compliment the rest of your outfit well. You can read my guide on the best shorts for men, and head to the smart shorts section for some tips.What To Wear To The Races When It’s ColdIf you’re going to the races when it’s cold, you might be wondering what to wear.In the horse racing world there’s plenty going on in Spring and Winter, and these months can get a bit chilly to say the least. It could be raining, windy or just freezing cold.For example the Cheltenham festival takes place in March, which can have unpredictable and variable weather conditions.With that said, the dress code is more relaxed, and you’ll be able to wear something more appropriate, if the weather conditions are a bit on the cold side.To maintain a smart look, you can go for an overcoat. This will keep your look smart while also keeping you warm.Go for an overcoat which compliments your suit colour, you could wear a camel overcoat, or choose something a bit darker such as black, grey or navy blue.For footwear, it could be preferable to go for a pair of Chelsea boots. These are the smartest boots you’ll find, and are almost like shoes, but are ankle length.You can keep yourself warm by wearing a scarf along with the suit, which will add some detail to your overall look, and will not look out of place in the Winter.What To Wear To The Races Casual OutfitHere I am wearing a grey suitYou want to go to the races but you’re not a formal dress kind of guy?

Are you going to the races, but have no ideas what to wear?Don’t worry, this style guide will make sure you’re looking the part for the big day out.Gentleman, having a day at the races is not just about putting a few bets on the horses anymore, well, has it ever been?Key TakeawaysDressing up in formal or smart casual is going to be the best option for your dress code.People like to dress up, so wearing a suit is going to mean you fit in.Check the dress code of the racecourse and paddock you’re in, as there’s many different rules for each track and paddock.A smart outfit can consist of: A suit, smart shirt, tie, smart shoes, pocket square and sunglasses.Smart casual choice could be: Blazer, shirt, trousers, shoes.Choose shirts over T-shirts, and shoes over trainers.Dressing casual and fancy dress should be avoided.Fashion at the races is almost more important than the horse racing itself, and has been known to take centre stage.It doesn’t matter if it’s the first time you’re going, it’s an annual tradition for you and your friends or if you’re a seasoned veteran, this is one event where nailing the style is key.There’s always been a lot of emphasis on what the ladies are wearing, and who’ll have the best or most outlandish hat, but men’s style is just as important.Knowing what to wear to the races is important, and you should be as stylish as your female counterpart.Let the ladies bring the glamour, and the gents bring the style.It’s time to get suited and booted!What To Wear To The Races: Quick HacksThe most simple outfit is the classic suit. This comprises of:Suit jacketTrousersPlain ShirtTieSmart ShoesIf you’re looking for a quick and easy way to get dressed for the races with style, a suit should be your go to.The Dress Code At Horse Racing FestivalsI’m not talking about the fashion rules just yet, I’m talking about the actual dress code or guidelines different festivals and events have in place.They will differ, they can even differ on the day you go, or even the enclosure you are looking to enjoy your day at.Some are a bit dressier, some a bit more casual, so to get the anxiety out of the way it’s best to check their own fashion advice on what is and isn’t allowed.Going to the races has always been a bit of a fashion event in it’s own right. There’s ladies day for the girls, with the best dresses, outfits and of course hats of fascinators.When it comes to men, it’s time to suit up and dress to impress.What To Wear At Royal AscotOne of the most important horse racing meetings in the calendar, and has a dress code to match.This very much depends on which enclosure you will be going to, with some having more strict and traditional dress codes than others.If you’re going to the Royal enclosure, gentlemen are required to wear a black or grey morning suit which includes a waistcoat and tie (no cravat), a black or grey top hat, black shoes with socks.The Queen Anne enclosure dress code requires a suit with tie, shoes and socks, with the village enclosure requiring a smart jacket, collared shirt and tie.The Windsor enclosure is the least formal but still requires you to be smart, with a jacket, shirt and trousers, but there’s no formal dress code.It goes without saying that sportswear such as football shirts are not allowed anywhere, along with fancy dress. You can read more on the Royal Ascot dress code here.Royal Ascot OutfitGrey Suit and TiePlain ShirtSmart Black ShoesPocket SquareWhat To Wear To The Cheltenham FestivalThe Cheltenham Festival is one of the key dates in the racing calendar, and with it being in March, weather can play a part in your clothes.The good news is there’s no formal dress code, but if you want to look the part, men usually wear suits around the club enclosure and hospitality areas.Fancy dress is permitted in March but you can be turned away at their discretion. This is however a guide to looking your best, so a suit is always going to be advised around here.You can find out more on the official Cheltenham website here.Cheltenham Festival OutfitNavy SuitPink TieLight Blue ShirtBrown Oxford ShoesWhat To Wear To The Grand NationalIf there’s one day in the racing calendar which everyone looks out for, it’s the Grand National.The race at Aintree is the jewel in the horse racing crown, even if you’re not a racing fan, it’s tradition to have a bet every April.The weather can be as unpredictable as trying to pick out a winner, but there’s plenty of ways you can keep stylish.The televised event means that all eyes could be on you, so it’s even more important to look your best, as everyone else will be.There is no formal dress code at the Grand National at Aintree, but sports clothing and fancy dress is not permitted.Wearing a really good fitting suit is something you should definitely be thinking about, the classic colours of grey or navy will never go wrong.If you’re into pea-cocking this is one of the events to do it at, wearing patterns or colours could be considered, with stand outs such as greens, reds or beige.Another option could be separates, which is wearing a different colour blazer to the trousers, just make sure they compliment each other.You can read the official dress code guidance here on the Grand National website.Suits For The RacesWhen it comes to horse racing attire, the most obvious thing to wear is a suit. A day at the races should be fun, and you don’t want to look like the same as you do every day in the office.You can wear something which is a little more bolder or brighter than your usual black suit you may wear at work.It’s the perfect opportunity to show off your own personality and add a bit of style and colour to an outfit, and a great excuse to get dressed up.You can try different colours such as plum, light or dark blues, cream or beige colours will also work well in the summer and give you more of a lighter look.You can look at something patterned, rather than a plain grey colour, try a modern check pattern in a mid grey colour.In the Summer and warmer months, you can opt for wearing a linen suit, which will keep you cool while still looking effortlessly stylish. If you’re buying for versatility, a 100% wool suit is the perfect fabric to select.Mix And Match Jacket And Trousers Colour CombinationsSeparating the colour combinations is something which is really exciting and could very well set you apart from the rest of the crowd.It means exactly what you think it does, simply wearing a different colour bottom to top.So that’s a different colour jacket to the trousers. This type of tailoring and fashion has become increasingly popular and is a trend I personally love, especially for the summer seasons.For this to work you have to make sure that you find trousers, a shirt and a jacket which compliment each other well, which is not always an easy task.Using core colours is a good way to make sure everything matches up well; Dark blue or navy trousers should work with a grey jacket, to finish off with a light blue shirt.On the flip side, some light beige trousers with a navy jacket and a classic white shirt will work well too.Smart Shoes For The Horse RacesSmart Shoes from Kurt GeigerYour footwear should be smart, so we’re talking shoes, not trainers, not even smart ones.That said, it doesn’t mean they have to be boring.

WINDSOR
Crack Comedy Club: The Grey Horse Pub, Kingston, 2024 Comedian Windsor made a very amiable host for the Crack Comedy showcase night that I went to see at Kingston in June 2024. Extremely easy-going and infectiously funny on stage, he was in complete command of the show as he delivered well-crafted routines and introduced guest acts to the stage.

I would love to hear you talk about 9. and 11.! :DDD
9: Talk about little things on your body that you like the most.
Hmmmm. I don't really like my body. Let's see. I like my hair, though there are days I'm tempted to shave it off (especially when it's super low humidity, because my hair is very fine and staticky when it's dry). It's always been thick and long and bleaches out so nice in the summer sun. It's starting to get grey now, and I'm okay with that.
I have very long, thin fingers, and have always been very dexterous. I get very angry with cold weather that causes cracks in my fingers because the pain prevents me from doing all the things I can usually do so easy.
I like my eyes for the most part. Officially they are blue, but you can see grey and green in them, too.
11: Talk about the best dream you’ve ever had.
Okay, there is one dream I remember very clearly, and oftentimes I wish I would have it or something like it again. It was before I got my first horse, so I was still a horseless horse lover. I was riding a horse (that I later remembered looked suspiciously like my first horse Windsor, a tall bay Thoroughbred). I was riding dressage, it was very hot and sunny, and the horse was sweating and shiny. Here's the weird part (every dream has a weird part). We were riding in the front yards of the houses on my street, not a riding arena. I remember feeling the heat of the sun, smelling the sweat of the horse, feeling the burn in my muscles from riding intensely (dressage is very physical!). It was so real! I loved it!

Fantasy Guide to the Season



The Season is the period within the year where the social elite, the wealthy and the noblity usually return to the the city for a long string of events, balls and dinners. It was a time for luxury, for pleasure and most importantly to socially socially by networking.
A Change in Locale

The Season drew all the nobles and wealthy back from their country estates and abroad back to the capital. At the height of the Season in the years preceding WWI, most of the elite held homes within the City where they would move into while the Season was on. There would have been a mad rush to return to the capital in order to be at the very centre of things. Since the English Season always coincides with sittings of Parliament, all members of both Houses take part in the Season.
Social Events of the Year

The Season was a string of events of mixed variety ranging from the arts to sports to royal rituals between April and August. In the UK some the most recognizable events of the year belong to the Season such as the Grand National and Wimbledon. The Season was also the time for debutants to make their social debut and when royal orders such as the Order of the Garter would be bestowed. Between all the official events, most of the nobility and elite would throw dinner parties, tea afternoons, salons and balls.
To give you an idea of the range of events we will use the English Season as an example of all the events that run in this time: Glyndebourne Opera, The Proms, Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, West End theatre Horticulture, Chelsea Flower Show, Royal Ascot, Cheltenham Gold Cup, Badminton Horse Trials, Grand National, Royal Windsor Horse Show, Epsom Derby, Glorious Goodwood, Cartier Queen's Cup, Trooping the Colour, Garter Service of the Order of the Garter, Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo, Boat Race, Henley Royal Regatta, Guards Polo Club, The Championships, Wimbledon, Cowes Week, Lord's Test cricket match. Since the Season also coincided with the marriage market, there would be a lot of engagements announced and weddings held.
At the end of the Season, usually around the 12th of August the elite would leave the city and return to the country for the hunting and shooting season.
What to Wear to the Season


Like most tradition heavy events, the Season was all about dressing appropriately. Wear the wrong thing and everyone you want to impress will see it. At polo matches, the gentlemen wear a blazers and strictly white trousers. Ladies are encouraged to wear flat shoes at these events. At the Royal Regatta, gentlemen wear lounge jackets and ties, and are permitted to wear their club colours as a show of support. It is usually traditional to wear boater hats. The ladies must wear dresses or skirts, with the hem below the knee. Women do not need to wear hats to these events. At events as such as Royal Ascot, everyone wears hats. The men wear either morning dress with waistcoat and a top hat, usually in grey or black. The only time a man removes his top hat is when he's dining, sitting in a box, on the balcony or within the Royal Enclosure. Ladies also must wear hats and are absolutely not permitted to show off shoulders. At the Presentation of the debutants, the traditional choice for the debutantes is a white court dress (though soft pinks and shades of white are permitted). The dress was short sleeved and had to have a train. The debutante wore long white gloves, a veil in her hair with three white ostrich feathers and jewels. Before the debutant has been introduced, she would hold her train over her arm and then let it fall when she has been presented.
How to Have a Successful Season

The Season was essentially there to keep all the nobles and elite entertained while they fulfilled political duties. Against the backdrop of fun and politics, there was a competition going on. Different hostesses would battle to throw the best parties, the most exclusive balls, the most interesting dinner parties. Families would spend lavish amounts of money fighting to impress and remain relevant. If one wants a successful social Season, one has to obtain as many invites as possible and establish one's self at the centre of the elite social sets. To be seen at all the top events was a sign of success and in this success, you can begin to advance socially by making contacts with influential peers or to advance through the marriage market. As a host, the most important guests such as Dukes, Marquesses and any royal family member marks you as one of the top tier hosts.

The Queen’s favourite horses
By TERRY PENDRY LVO, BEM STUD GROOM AND MANAGER TO HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN, WINDSOR CASTLE
Horse & Hound | Published 11 June 2020
IT’S almost impossible to name all the horses and ponies that Her Majesty has enjoyed over the decades. You have to bear in mind she breeds racehorses, carriage horses, hunters, sports and riding horses, and also polo ponies when, back in the day, His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh was playing at a very high level.
There are, of course, the rare breeds such as Cleveland Bays for the carriages at Buckingham Palace and of course her beloved Highland and Fell ponies.
Here, we cover just a few of Her Majesty’s special horses and ponies. It only scratches the surface of all those The Queen has bred. There are so many more that could be spoken of. Her knowledge and expertise is well known. She names all of her horses and ponies herself and can remember the parentage of every single one.
She still enjoys riding to this very day, and it is an important part of her life. Her Majesty has a fountain of knowledge in all things equine, you might say a living encyclopedia.
Betsy
WE would have to start with Betsy, a 15.2hh black-brown mare that Her Majesty used to ride in the 1960s. Betsy was full of character and spirit and much enjoyed by The Queen.
Burmese
BURMESE was presented to Her Majesty in 1969 by The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and The Queen rode her in Trooping the Colour for 18 years before the mare retired in 1986 to Windsor. There she enjoyed four years before passing away at the age of 28. Burmese is buried in the grounds of the Home Park private.
Doublet
PRINCESS ANNE, as she was then, won the European Eventing Championships at Burghley on Doublet in 1971.
Would you believe he was bred to be a polo pony? But he obviously grew and could jump, so became a fine ride for Princess Anne – meaning that The Queen bred both the horse and rider!
Columbus
A FEW weeks ago, the Horse & Hound featured Captain Mark Phillips in its Legends series (21 May). One of the horses he mentioned was Columbus, a 17.1hh grey sired by Colonist – who was Winston Churchill’s stallion that stood at Sandringham Stud for a period of time.
Princess Anne first evented Columbus at novice and intermediate level but found him too strong, saying that he was more of a man’s ride. His stable name was The Monster.
Although Columbus was plagued with leg injuries, he won Badminton in 1974 — which made Her Majesty very proud. He also hunted and team chased, and even jumped round the old Grand National course with relish and ease. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother always said he was the Grand National horse that never was. She would have loved him for herself.
Sanction
THIS brown riding horse was a firm favourite for many years. The photograph was our Golden Jubilee picture with a beautiful acer tree with its golden leaves in the background.
Sanction, this issue’s cover star, was almost telepathic and had a very strong bond with Her Majesty and would almost know what The Queen wanted and in which direction she would like to go before instructed to do so.
He sadly passed away in the autumn of that same year, 2002, at the age of 24. He is also buried in the grounds of the Home Park private.
Sanction was the last home-bred horse that Her Majesty rode before making the decision to start riding native ponies. A little nearer to the ground, so to speak.
Balmoral Jingle and Balmoral Curlew
TWO beautiful Highland ponies made for a most natural choice. Balmoral Jingle (above, left) and Balmoral Curlew were shown by Lizzie Briant before joining The Royal Mews at Windsor. Both ponies were a huge success in the show ring and eventually went on to become broodmares at the Balmoral Stud.
Emma
FROM Highlands to Fells. This lovely picture is of Fell pony Emma. Again produced in the show ring by Lizzie Briant, Emma has been a wonderful servant to Her Majesty and is still going strong at the age of 24 as one of The Queen’s riding ponies.
The Fell Pony Society came to honour The Queen’s 90th birthday and said they would like to bring 90 ponies. They came with 120! They lined the red route of the castle for Her Majesty, who sat on His Royal Highness’ driving Fell pony team followed by Emma. It truly was a wonderful day.

Photo

Very early in the morning today, 31st May 2022, The Sovereign’s Gold State Coach was seen on the streets of London for the first time in 20 years, as a rehearsal for the Platinum Jubilee Pageant took place.
The Platinum Jubilee Pageant takes place on Sunday 5th June. The Gold State Coach, built in 1762 will be pulled by eight Windsor-Grey Horses, led by The Household Cavalry on a 3 kilometre parade from Whitehall, past Westminster Abbey and along The Mall to Buckingham Palace. Images of The Queen on her Coronation Day will be projected onto the side windows of the magnificent carriage.
