You got Nathan his first fallow stag, something he’ll always remember, and you passed on some of your butchery tricks along the way too. There was plenty of learning, plenty of laughs, and of course you also managed to prove that a decent-tasting home brew beer really can be made. Those are the sorts of things that will stick with us the stories, the skills you shared, the laughs, and the time spent together. A bloody special guy! X
Rest in peace uncle Brian, I will forever be grateful to you and aunty Lyn for all the support you gave to me, Lenny, and Dad. I am sure that Dad was up there waiting for you to have a chat. All my love to you and the family.
Your boots may be still and your reins laid down, But your love for horses will always be around. Ride free with Richie, your old faithful mate, i’ll keep riding for you, until we meet at the gate. Love madi
