Here I am riding Callum my Highland Callum who I rode from the top coast of Scotland to Land's End and around Southern Ireland, while leading Raindrop my pack pony. I bred Shilstone Rocks Raindrop four years ago and she is enjoying coming along- in training for the longer treks!
This short clip is about Ruach the promised foal, who Yoanna my mare gave birth in late May. Several years ago I travelled with Yoanna and Ermis, two ponies I bought near Athens across Greece, northern Italy, over the European Alps through Switzerland and then south through France, over the Pyrenees and across Northern Spain to Santiago and Finistere. I promised them I would take them home to the green grass of England and against the odds, I got them home to Dartmoor, but as I had no grazing I loaned them out. I had no idea Yoanna was in foal and months later she had a surprise foal which sadly died. I promised her when I had land I would let her have another foal. Ruach is her promised foal.
