It took 20 hours there and back, but it was really worth the while!!! with a borrowed truck, 17 cans of red bull, one sas nav and a rough idea on how to get there (Deni had the directions.......!! ) and with echos of,'its just of the end of the motorway', ringing in our ears, 3 girls and a dog (wally wumps), set off to collect two of the most beautiful ponies to come out of Scotland!!
Mr Brian Fotheringham from the Lennards Stud, has very kindly sold TEAM WRS his two precious geldings, troika and Travis. WIth the intention of breaking them both to drive to harness, the boys are enjoying settling in and getting to know everyone on the yard. It was a long drive up to Aberdeen, and with the girls driving a truck that had been very kindly lent to them (thanks Rob!!!), after driving through the night, they arrived in the picturesque town of Stonehaven, after a brisk walk on the beach, where wally met the biggest sea gull in the world!! breakfast was then the order of the day!! The boys loaded without trouble and soon everyone was on the road back to Worcester.
The picture shows Travis and Troika enjoying a gallop around the turnout field.
Look on the gallery for more pictures of the new boys.
