Kaedie died after a short illness on the 7th April 2020. Our vet advised that she would not recover and we let her go peacefully before she began to suffer.
Kaedie was a beautiful Irish Draught mare, born in 1994 (we think). She came to Blaikiewell from Thainstone Mart with her friend Holly, who refused to leave the sale without her best friend. Fortunately, she had not sold in the ring and rather than use brute force to load Holly we were able to buy Kaedie and bring them both home together.
When she arrived her feet had large sand cracks and were in poor condition but with attention from our farrier and good nutrition these grew out and her feet were fine. She developed a back problem several years ago and retired from the school. Retirement agreed with her and she enjoyed life with some of her special horse friends. She was sweet natured and loved attention to make her feel extra special.
