Getting the dray ready for Bakewell Show
The sheep have a shower!
The sheep are put through a shower system that covers their fleece in the sheep
dip solution, this protects them from external parasites that live on the surface of
their skin.

China & Charlie
Before Massey died we purchased two Percheron heavy
legged horses called China and Charlie along
with an ex Adnams brewery dray.
They have come to us on semi retirement
the plan being to intregrate Massey into the team,
sadly this is not to be.
They are both settling in well and we are hoping to
take them out soon with a smaller cart.
Massey 08/05/2006 - 28/05/2009
It is with great saddness that we have to announce the passing away of Massey the brewery shire horse.
He was away being trained when he became ill and died.
