The down sideside of clipping 😪
Most of my clients/friends I have worked with, I have clipped their horses for many years. As such, I really get to know them, and get to know their character and quirks, and I develop a kind of unspoken connection with them
Tom was one of the very best! Everyone that knows me, knows that I love Thoroughbreds. I really loved Tom!!!
When I clipped Tom, I clipped on his terms! He was the ultimate character. A bit like his owner, he was cheeky, maybe sometimes grumpy( sorry Sammy, only joking😅) But when I got to know him, underneath his king of the yard personality, he was such a gentle and kind horse that was such a pleasure to work with. I love TBs for that reason.....they are expressive, smart, cheeky, and funny......every day is different with them.
It's heartbreaking when one leaves us 💔
I'll always miss Big Tom! Along with the others that have passed away over the years 😢
Tom was a legend, and treated as such! He had a big connection with his owners, and I'm sure the yard feels different without him!
Miss you big lad!
