We have a very special guest on the yard, the 37 year old Criban Victor son, Witchcroft Pipkin (Muffin). He is pictured the day he arrived. He is a very Precious guest, who is settling in well, asks to go out in the morning, and when he does he canters off down the field!

Good Luck To Rebecca Lock Of Sherlocks Stud, with The second of her Ponies Found by Hopgarden Stud, Loobie Lou.
