The Book is Well Underway

Harmony River - Poppy

Harper Collins have just been in touch to say that the book about Greatwood will be published on the 3rd March. It is a collection of stories about animals and children, and explains about our work from the inception of the charity until now.
It is called 'When Sophie Met Darcy Day' and can be ordered in advance from Amazon.


We have also taken on another chesnut mare that needed our help(see above), her name is Poppy and she, like Aggy, is in her early twenties. She is a very sweet and kind mare, but from the moment she walked into the row of boxes (known to us, as the 'girls row') she took one look at Aggy and hated her immediately. We had to pull her out for the farrier quite soon after she arrived and although she was in the ally just outside Aggy's stable and certainly beyond even sniffing distance, she squealed if Aggy had the audacity to even glance at her. It is a case of hate at first sight and even gentle little Tara has difficulty in keeping the peace between them. Sue and I just wonder how we will manage them when they do have to go out in the field together, at the moment, it looks as if one will have to be at one end of the farm and the other in the next county.
