Disco joined the equine team September 2022 as a 5 yearold. He was another purchase from Juliet Clarke at Evesham. It’s quite a long drive to her, but she has sold us some good horses and ponies over the past few years. It is getting harder and harder to find horses and ponies to do the job!
Disco ended up with four and a half hours added to the journey home as the clutch went on my Land Rover and I had to wait for recovery! It was getting dark and I was stopped on the hard shoulder of the M40 between the exit and entry of the junction where the traffic was narrowed to just 2 lanes. With dark approaching and descending it was an anxious wait with traffic whizzing past at 70 mph!! Disco, however, was munching happily on his haynet every time I checked! It was late in the evening when he eventually arrived at Wildwoods but was perfectly calm.
He settled well to the job and now has his own fan club! He is a forward but sensible hack – our hacking is out on open ground, sometimes with racehorses out on exercise on the adjacent gallops, which doesn’t bother him at all. He has a useful pop in him and is quite bold. This picture was taken in Evesham where he went cross-country schooling before we bought him. What a superstar and another asset to our equine team!
