We’ve been a bit quiet on here after a very busy few months ! Alas - the show must go on (literally)! Susanna was the president of the 2026 Mackenzie Highland A&P Show where the Clydesdales made her very proud. We even brought her to tears when we stood by her in the grand parade! 6 Clydesdales came out to party in the drizzle, 3 of ours and 3 others who travelled to support Susie.
Our big boy Basil (4yrs old) brought home the champion male & supreme champion Clydesdale ribbons while his mother Betty and paddock mate Billy stood proudly beside him holding his hand when he needed support. At 18hh he looks like a big adult so sometimes people forget he’s still a toddler. We are incredibly proud of him.
One thing about the Clydesdale community is that we are like a family, we all support and lift each other up. I couldn’t have got our 3 horses into the show ring on my own. Maryanne, Jaime, Rod, Anneke - thank you all so much for helping me plait the horses up, loving them like your own and always being there when needed. Thank you to the stewards and judges who give up their time to support the show(s), if we don’t keep supporting the shows we will lose them!
Our horses know their jobs when we go out to shows and it’s not to bring home ribbons… but to educate the public about the breed and provide an opportunity for everyone to get close to a big gentle giant.
