With the last of the big shows finishing this month we are glad to say its time for a rest, for a week or two anyway. They ranged from the top end of Scotland to South view down the road, with a buying trip to Ireland in the middle and school half term. Busy, busy, busy!!!
Ingliston Scottish Pony of the Year Show(14-17/10/10)
A long trek up to Ingliston Show Centre proved a great time for our team. Having never been there before we arrived to excellent facilities and a friendly welcome.
With good placing on day one with all, day two was even better.

Borris
On a sad note Kelly had Borris (The Barsteward) put to sleep this week. He was eighteen years old and had been with us since a four year old and launched kelly into Horse Workers. He qualified for RIHS and HOYS nine years on the run being placed nearly every year and finishing Reserve Champion at RIHS and Third at HOYS twice.
He lived out a happy retirement at home baby sitting youngsters. |
