I have no idea what we’ll do with Mole, although I do have a pony cart going to waste in the shed…..

Obelix is a Percheron gelding who used to be a bronco branding horse. Like many grey horses he developed a growth - in his case a large tennis-ball sized tumour in his neck near his jaw & on veterinary advice he was retired.
