It has been a busy few weeks. On the way down to Yorkshire for the Cleveland Bay Horse Society AGM we stopped off to visit Warlord's owner and Skysail's second son Brackenbrae Somerled. Somerled has had a successful start to his career as a stallion and is looking well. On the Sunday after the AGM we called in to visit Skysail's fourth son Brackenbrae Ragnald, who has been in Yorkshire since July. He has settled in well and has a new stablemate Luca.

We also visited Springlea Saracen at his livery with an interesting flock of mixed sheep and goats

Last weekend we took Crystal and Brackenbrae Ultimate to the Scottish Smallholders Festival at Forfar Mart. It was Tim's first time on the stand meeting the public and he seemed to enjoy himself, even leading his mum in the trot around the ring in the parade. We came home with more livestock than we brought, four young ducks to join the flock.
