My working boy

In all the excitement of our trip to Rothesay I haven't mentioned that this is an exciting week for Davie too - his first week in the world of work. Having finished at Belmont on Friday, he started a three month placement at Riding for the Disabled on Monday, and I am extremely proud of him because he has been very positive about this new departure. So far so good; he has been grooming horses, sweeping out stables and leading the clients' horses as they ride. He says he is enjoying it and that he gets on well with his colleagues. I hope that this will be good for his skills and confidence. It sounds like he has had a good start.
