Getting "Jack and Victor" our two Shetlands that we bought earlier in the year from Jane Barry finally going in the carriage today, first a but of single work and then out as a pair - passing big lorries and everything - they are naturals - now we need to get Ozzie going up front and we will have a Unicorn :-) Thanks to Dawn Macdonald and Mandy Lenz for helping today and Hannah Accorsini and Lee-anne Menzies for all the work they have put in with them over the summer. I think we will get a lot of fun out of these two :-) #shetlands #jackandvictor #stillgame #perfectboys #greatweemen

Only about two weeks now till our Carriage Driving Camp in association with Highland Carriage Drivers Club - it is free if people want to come and get to know a bit more about carriage driving - all the places on the BDS Road Safety Exam now are taken however :-)

It is hard to believe this was 3 years ago already - it took a lot of organisation and a huge effort from all involved - especially those that supplied the Teams of Horse to pull the Mail Coach 100 :-)
