Flint discovers the joys of the great outdoors

The Dikler has learned the al fresco lifestyle is alive and well in South Wales after jump jockey Rhys Flint issued a rather unusual plea to passers-by at his father John's yard near Bridgend.

Flint was riding out at the weekend when the horse he was on took an interest in an unsavoury object.

"He had a little look – it was pretty obvious it was a used condom," said Flint, who said his father had got a good laugh out of the discovery.
