Just over a year ago I donated a plaiting set made by Heavy Horse Crafts to the Ellingham Show which takes place at Somerley each year. I asked for it to be created in the colours of the Ukraine as the war was well underway by then. The set was won by a friend of mine, John Kerswell, although I can swear that it was not a fix.
This year he took his new Percheron Mare, Kelly, back to the Ellingham show wearing the same set of ribbons and won the same class. She looked beautiful.
Meanwhile, little Cinders at Hampshire Spirit Horse Rescue has worn her first proper headcollar. Unfortunately I haven't been able to help them since I had surgery but I love receiving such positive news.
