Spring is busting out all over at Hay Farm Heavy Horse Centre on Ford and Etal Estates.

As well as the piglets and ducklings, Anna Cockburn, who runs the centre with her mother and father, was pleased to welcome new foal Dorothy, a beautiful, rare breed Clydesdale, last week.

Primrose was a few days late giving birth, but had a smooth delivery, with Anna’s help, in front of some surprised visitors. Dottie was out in the field with her mum within a couple of days.
