Public interest is mounting after news that David Cameron admitted he rode the horse lent by police to the former News of the World editor Rebekah Brooks.
On Tuesday, the Met police confirmed at the Leveson inquiry that Brooks was lent a horse, but No 10, speaking on the hoof, trotted out a statement denying Cameron had ridden it.
Today the PM, saddled with increasing media questions, and gee-d up by his press pack, confirmed, he did ride the horse, Raisa in 2010, attempting to close the stable door after the horse has bolted (or in this case, died).
What seemed at first a whoa-ful tale to be reined in, has now become a bit of a mare, neigh an un-fetlocked disaster, as it gallops into one of the week's mane stories. What will the whips say?
But what do you think? Give us your best Horsegate puns below...
