Rory
TF Rory O'Moore has grown up, so at 3 years old he has gone to be broken in, and won't be back here, as he will go straight from Darfield and the horse handler Jimmy Roxburgh onto a transport truck to New Plymouth where he become's No 2's responsibility. A bit of a sad day really as he is a lovely little (well not so little now) horse, and I miss the daily contact, but it is high time he had something more to occupy his time, rather than just annoying Minstrel.
Minstrel missed him so much that when we got back at the end of the day he was still standing at the gate neighing for his mate. Even Tango, the Bosses black mare (who is a bit of a witch) was calling through the night.
Rory and Minstrel were good mates from day 1.
And if I'd been 20 years younger, don't know that I could have parted with him. He has such lovely paces and is so sure footed on the hill now.
