Title: Vinnie off to Shetland.
Post by: sabrina on May 06, 2012, 07:24:51 pm

Well my young Piebald Shetland Stallion left last night on the boat to Shetland. Leaving him at the boat was hard but he arrived in Lerwick none the worse for his journey. Friend sent me photo's to reassure me he was OK and by the way he was showing off to his new lady friend I don't think he will be missing me  ;D

Bon voyage, Vinnie, and happy landings :horse:

Our heifers came down from Shetland to Aberdeen and seemed none th worse for their journey. The units for transporting the livestock seem very good.
