North American Clydesdale/Shire Fall Classic 2023
Back on dry land, after a fantastic few days in sunny Dounby ππ
The boys were outstanding as usual, with the superstar that's Dallas, driving twice, and powering out in the front of the unicorn, showing why these boys were multiple world champions πππ
We couldn't do it without our team! A special thanks to Charlotte Young, from Doura Clydesdales for helping us out at short notice, a long drive up from Ayrshire, an early start, driving to Scrabster, to eventually get the ferry to Orkney, for the Orkney West Mainland Agricultural Society show in Dounby. Well done to Bonnie Taggart and Rachel Wilson, for your hard work at the show, and for being such fun! A lot of laughs were had, alongside 1 or 2 beverages!!! Thanks to Ian and Diana Smith for your help. To Vera Copland, for everything you did to help, including preventing Arthur from running away from home! You were great x
The team for all the hard work at home makes the job easier.
If anyone has any pictures or videos of our demonstration team, we'd be happy to see them π
Team selfie on the boat! No white paper bags required π
Well, what can I say? The team had an amazing time in Orkney. Thank you to Kristen and her team from Dounby show. The boys had a great time, and enjoyed their drive in the sunshine π

We're looking forward to seeing all the pictures from the show π

Kirsty, Rachel and Reece, you guys were like a blur the whole time because you never stopped and worked your wee socks off making sure everything we turned out was done to the highest of standards! Charlotte Young for your expert grooming in the turn out classes, Ansen for turning out and showing both our Mare and Stallion in their classes to the very best of standards! To Wayne Balfour for his expert farrier skills keeping the team in tip top condition. Ian and Diana Smith for coming down from Orkney to take out superstar storm and winning the wool decorated harness World champion and keeping him looking awesome!
