HORSES AT NUMBER 10.
 |
| Vladamir Putin |
One surprising aspect of the phone hacking scandal was the revelation that Prime Minister David Cameron went riding with Rebekah Brooks. It's not who he went with, but the fact he was on a horse at all! So with my equine interest piqued Troton's roving reporter decided to look further into past Prime Ministers and their dealings with horses.
Prime Minister Tony Blair looked a gift horse in the mouth when he refused the gift of a Merens foal whilst on holiday in the Pyrenees in France. His reason? Apparently he had nowhere to keep it, but as No 10 backs on to St. James' Park combined with the Queen's great love of horses surely permission to fence off a small area could have been sought?
John Major went one better back in 1993 when he caused a diplomatic incident after being gifted a beautiful Akhal-Teke stallion worth an estimated �30,000 by The President of Turkmenistan. The horse wasn't collected for months which caused great offence to the Turkmenistan government. It did however, eventually make the long journey to England where it was given to the Life Guards who rejected it as being too highly strung.
Margaret Thatcher famously refused to give permission for a racehorse to be named after her. A love of horses was obviously something Maggie and her political soulmate Ronald Reagan didn't have in common. President Reagan (see video below) kept horses on his ranch and was a particular fan of Arabians.
Tragically, Brian Faulkner, Prime Minister of Northern Ireland fell from his horse and died whilst out hunting with the County Down Staghounds in 1977.
Although there isn't any photographic evidence of David Cameron astride a horse he would have to go a long way to beat Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin; not only no hat but no shirt either!

The Friday Funhouse
Video of the Week
This clip on antique fly fishing gear appeared on a recent episode of the Antiques Road Show and profiles a Payne rod, McMonies creel, and a Philbrooke & Paine reel.
12 Things I Would buy if only I could afford them
This Wards Hawthorne / Bronson Invader is breaking all kinds of records.
I love these obscure saltwater reels!
We haven't seen a nice Chippewa around here in some time!
Instant Collection Alert: CCBC Beetle infestation.
This is one nice South Bend lure and box combo!
Another Christmas Doug English lure, but this one is signed by the luremaker himself!
Orvis glass rods are picking up steam.
I don't know who John Pususta is, but you can be damn certain I won't forget the name after seeing this beauty!
I have always enjoyed this rare Heddon River Runt spook color, but it's particularly hard to find in No Snag.
Love these Dingley fly reels!
Winchester rods don't quite attract the rabid interest of their reels, but this is one nice casting stick.
A Neal spinner in the box from Indiana is a superb find.
As always, have a great and a safe weekend, and be good to each other, and yourself.
-- Dr. Todd
