The week that was… was such a funny week at Heartland. We had a horse in residence as our nurse Sherelle’s beautiful horse Richard was getting some veterinary treatments, across the road & we took pity on him as he is such a magnificent horse & found this distressing. Anyways it turns out that Richard just loves being close to humans & would stick his head over the side fence to say hello & stand quietly & watch our treatments, admin antics & meetings.

Quite frankly he looked like a cross between Mr Ed & a knight with his fly veil & coat. Here are some of the moments captured.
