Jockeys this weekend will wear black armbands in memory of the two stable staff and two trainers who died this week.

Jess Whalley, who worked for Hugo Palmer, died of a suspected heart attack when riding work on Tuesday, while a day later an employee at Robert Cowell's stable, later named as Mazar Allauddin, died in a riding accident.

They will be remembered across the five meetings in Britain on Saturday and two on Sunday, with BHA chief executive Julie Harrington expressing her sympathies following a "tragic week" for the sport.

In a statement, Harrington said: "Both of these incidents are unspeakably tragic and there are no words to adequately describe the grief of losing a friend, colleague and loved one in such circumstances. The BHA along with colleagues at Racing Welfare, Nars and the IJF, have been working to provide support for staff affected by what took place at each yard."

Harrington also paid tribute to Welsh Grand National-winning trainer John Spearing and Newmarket trainer Dave Morris following their deaths this week.

New Video! Chris Antley was a top jockey, husband and father to be. Until December 2nd of 2000 when he was found with multiple lacerations, and head trauma. Despite this, his death would ultimately be ruled an accident or overdose.

They have as much right to this as we do.

The bonds between wild horses are real, beautiful and honest.

But those who wish for wild horses to disappear will tell you differently. Because it’s much easier to round up wild horses and tear them apart from each other, to destroy the deep bonds between stallions and mares and foals- if there is a resistance to the truth. And anti-wild horse groups will spare no expense to convince the public that wild horses don’t experience pain and anguish when separated from their families. It makes it easier to round them up by the thousands, and to profit from this ugly industry.

Wild horses need our help.

Please consider attending, or donating towards- the ‘Save Our Wild Horses Conference’ this April in Washington DC.

When you read posts about the eradication of iconic wild mustangs- and wish you could help stop the roundups of thousands of wild horses - this is your chance. If you’ve always wanted to help- there are many ways to get involved. From your home, your desk, or from Washington, there is something you can do.

There is a slate of activities in Washington DC including:

- Wild Horse Rally on the National Mall Apr 22
- 15 guest speakers (I’m thrilled to be one of them) at the Conference Apr 23 -25th
- Wild Horse Lobby Day, asking you to schedule meeting with your Rep or their staff

- Volunteers are needed to hand out brochures during rally

IF you can't go to the conference:

Please consider donating to help with costs of this volunteer-run event. $5, $10, $20 or more- it all helps immensely! Click here to donate:

Look into the eyes of this wild stallion and his mare. Will they be cruelly rounded up by helicopter and separated forever? The answer is in our own hands. Only WE can stop the roundups. Please, use your voice.

Thank you all !

Researchers analyzed more than 200 Bronze Age skeletal remains in museum collections in Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Hungary and the Czech Republic to look for signs of what co-author and University of Helsinki anthropologist Martin Trautmann calls "horse rider syndrome."
