Researchers at the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) are exploring how artificial intelligence (AI) could help veterinarians detect fractures in animals more quickly and accurately.

Their work has been shortlisted for the STEM for Britain 2026 award and highlights how technology developed for human medicine can also benefit animal health and welfare.

We've posted photos of this lovely mare, VS Shes My Alibi, aka "Ali," on our pages in the past. "We lost her in January and this photo was taken of my friend, Kelsi Peiffer’s daughter, and Ali at her last show. Ali loved kids and was such an empathic mare. If you’d like to choose it to share, I would love that. She’s missed by so many," says Jessica Derezinski.

Our deepest condolences on the loss of this mare to Jessica and to everyone who loved Ali.

This is a true story, and I would like to formally apologize in advance for making you read it...

Sunday was one of those perfect days. Sunny. 70 degrees. The kind of weather where you think, ah, yes, today I shall be productive and feel good about it. Naturally, I decided it was the perfect time to do some spring cleaning in my horse trailer.

I stepped into the living quarters feeling proud of myself… and was immediately assaulted by the most aggressive smell imaginable. A smell that reached out, grabbed me by the nostrils, and slapped me.

At first, I thought, Hmm. That’s not great. Maybe propane?

So I checked. Propane was off. I lingered for another minute, making poor life choices, and realized: No. This is not a propane smell. This is a “something died in here and has regrets” smell.

Read the rest of this hilarious true story, and it's not an April Fools' joke!

"This is your Monday morning reminder that you can handle whatever this week throws at you." — Unknown.

In recognition of Monday, we revisit this absolutely epic, classic photo of Lucy Lewis with her horse, Axle, taken by Mallory Beinborn of Impulse Photography. It's proof that although things sometimes don't go as planned, we can always look back and laugh! This blooper photo has gone viral more than once, and we must say we never tired of it popping up in our feed!

Thank you to Megan Vanderslice for the share!
