This morning a man phoned asking whether we have ex racehorse Mystic Moose as he'd seen on a Google search that we do. I confirmed that is correct. He became very emotional and said that he'd been Moose's owner from age 4 to 10. He'd sold him when he needed some cash and he got an offer for Moose. That was in February 1988. He never saw him again and then last night at a party people were talking of horses from their past. The man remembered Moose with fond memories. His partner put Moose's name into Google and found that he's at Shy Lowen . They couldn't believe that there'd be chance to meet again. They're travelling down to Liverpool from Scotland on Saturday to have a reunion. It'll be a lovely way to mark Moose's official 35th birthday tomorrow. Will have tissues ready :-)

That is incredible. I was only thinking today that Freyr is 25 years old this year, he was born on May 13, 1988. It is difficult to believe that the man last saw his horse then. What an amazing reunion it will be.

That is lovely - I wonder whether Moose will react to him. Looking forward to the report on how it went

If you don't make sure someone's got a camera there I'll never speak to you again! Happy birthday, Moosey
