Finkley Down Farm sadly announced, on their Facebook page , that one of their beloved heavy horses, Holly the Shire cross Clydesdale has passed away after a short illness.
They share that, “Holly was born at the farm in December 2006. She lived a very happy, life of leisure with her best friend Benson and enjoyed seeing all of our visitors. Holly’s favourite time of day was the walk to the field at 3:30pm each day just so she could hold up the traffic under the railway bridge.”
“All of the staff loved Holly dearly, and enjoyed giving her and Benson little treats of carrot, apple and even polo mints. Somehow Holly would just know when we had a treat for her and she would peer over the wall at us. Holly’s passing has left a big hole in our hearts and needless to say Benson is having extra cuddles at the moment.”
Lots of messages of support have been sent to the staff at Finkley Down Farm.
