Equine Hairdressing Clinic!





Signs of spring!! Our girls give all the horses' manes, tails and feathers a jolly good shampoo on a sunny Saturday morning. The warmer weather has all the horses shedding their winter coats in handfuls every day.

Remembering Paul Stevens

Paul receiving his prize from Sir Tom Lees in August 2008.

Paul completes a faultless round the cones driving Marmite at the first Margaret Newell Memorial Day in Aug 2008.

On Friday 3rd April we joined friends and family to say "Good-bye" to Paul at Poole Crematorium and to celebrate his very full life. Paul was much loved by everyone and brought so much joy to all who knew him.

At East Holton Driving Centre he will always be remembered for his skilful driving of Marmite, and although he could say "trot on" he always preferred "prrod on" and Marmite responded!

He was always so cheerful and bright, taking control of his escorts once he was in the driving seat and had hold of the reins, and very focussed on his driving. He would give Marmite detailed instructions for the entire route he had chosen, but keep the escorts guessing until he directed at each turn!!

Paul will be sorely missed.
