The fleeting racehorse

Hi everyone

Sarah and Tippy here:

A strange thing happened this week. Tippy got a new neighbour - for a few days anyway.

Rocky, the racehorse, was coming to stop on the yard for three weeks but ended up stopping for just two days. He arrived on Monday night and left again on Wednesday evening. After the hustle and bustle of a racehorse training yard, he couldn't cope with the stress-free lifestyle at Tippy's. He was stabled in one of the outside stables and didn't like not being able to see any of the other horses.

He could just see Tippy in her field if he craned his neck and she stood at the top end, near the gate, but she didn't want to stop there and he got very lonely. Poor Rocky! So his owners decided he would be better off going to a busier yard.
