A year ago today…waiting patiently
How time flies
Escape now Eric
Escaped 17/09/2018.
Last raced 02/08/2021.
We have decided to call him Eric.
He is doing extremely well, it is day 3 in his foster home and the progress already from day 1 is immense. It’s been a rocky road for the boy but he’s getting there. He’s been in the bath and had a good scrub up and now he’s all fluffy and smells beautiful.
He’s great in the car (photos attached), great with other dogs, not phased by cats, great with people and just genuinely a sweet loving boy, he’s been clean in the house and sleeps through the night. He likes it at the bottom of the stairs so we put a bed there for him

Essy
bn 20/07/2019 White and blue tiny bundle of joy.
Essy is being beautiful and is almost ready for her sofa.
Previously known as Westwind Honey. Raced at Towcester. Sweetest little girl, full of happiness and joy just wants a fuss.
She would be ok as an only pet, or with other dogs. She doesn’t pull on the lead, but goes nuts off the lead enjoys zoomies.
Beautiful precious little soul.
Essy is in Nottingham

Eday
I keep coming back to this picture of Eday. Because this to me just sums up a lot of what is wrong with the racing industry.
Eday was born in Ireland 1st March 2017. Her racing name was Denzone Bubble.
She has 35 races at Doncaster, the last one being in May 2019. She wasn’t very good, just a card filler.
When she came to Tia nine months later she was a very sorry sight. Even the trainers who fetched her in didn’t like her.
Her trainer was notorious for putting his dogs to sleep once they had finished racing.
He actually came to the farm to have words with me when I posted all over the internet the state of her.
Condition when she arrived at Tia….Disgusting! stinks, damaged hock and strap marks from an anti bark muzzle.
He lived in a built up area and any dogs that barked got the same treatment even though they were “allegedly illegal”
Thankfully Eday got a lovely home and made a full recovery. She was one of the lucky ones.
How Things Change
Fraisthorpe Beach, 1st April 2018, Reach the Beach. What a fabulous day it was. We took a lot of the kennel dogs and me and Kenzie snuck off our on way home, to Mr Moos, for a very large ice cream.
How things have changed in the past five years. We are still here, although it is very, very different.
Thanks everyone for your continued support. Who knows what will be thrown at us all next.
Deb & Bob and all at Tia.

William was rehomed to Royal Park Shires a few years ago now…What a fabulous life he is having…thanks guys..

Daisy and Sydney are the greys at the back. Daisy is 24 years old and is mom to Sydney & Norman..
Norman is our Shire stallion. Love them all to bits.
Thank you
With so many old dogs in the kennels we do have a lot of dental issues.
Chris from Donaldson’s vets sorted them all out, in our own vet room, sulk, before we moved up here. I don’t know what I miss more, the vet room or making bacon butties, for Chris & Becca every Thursday, when they came to the farm.
We do use Moray Coast vets now who are really good…
I don’t really want them having operations though, unless they really need it. So I found Lisa on Facebook. She came out last week and it will be a regular fortnightly visit. She is great with the dogs. Jack wasn’t impressed, but the others were fine. Tinkerbell absolutely loved it….Thanks Lisa.
Sorry Victor, you are off to the vets next week…
