Jeremy continued: “When Lisa’s horse died, I was upset because I could see she was. And because I would have to deal with it.”
The couple first knew “something was probably wrong” when they got the news that Bertie was “lying on his side, in a stream.”
Tragically, when Jeremy arrived at the scene he found Bertie was already dead.
He speculated that this might not be the only tragedy to occur over the festive period.

“At least with all this unpleasantness out of the way, we won’t have to face it tomorrow, which will free up some time for some other unpleasantness,” Jeremy added.
“A cow getting on to the road and being run over by someone on their way to the petrol station? A sheep mastering the art of self-combustion? A fox in the henhouse again? They’re all possibilities.”
It was recently revealed that Prime Video show Clarkson's Farm has been renewed for a fourth season.
Jeremy made the announcement on social media the day after he confirmed his exit from The Grand Tour.
To celebrate the news, Jeremy and his co-star Kaleb Cooper tried to round up their sheep to spell out “IV,” which is four in Roman Numerals. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t exactly go to plan, and the pair ended up arguing.
“You’re doing it in the wrong place. You blithering idiot!” Jeremy yelled at Kaleb, 25, who’d positioned the “I” after the “V” so it read six rather than four.
“I’m trying to say four … I wanted to write ‘IV,’ a four, to announce that the four series of Clarkson’s Farm is coming,” Jeremy explained.
Despite the mix up, Jeremy was able to use the sheep to spell out their message with a bit of camera magic.
The first two seasons of Clarkson’s Farm are available to stream on Prime Video. Season 3 will premiere in 2024.
