This is a BY SPECIAL REQUEST PHOTO for the ladies of Al-Ain.

Here he is - one of the special loves of my life. Hamish, the mini shetland pony who came into our lives when he was 5 months old and thought he was a dog all through the 2 years he lived with us.

As you can see, he realised I was his mummy and he would do anything to show me how much he loved me (or in this case, the polo mints I am hiding in my hand!!) Hamish is now with my good friends Nadia and Larry in their stables. His best friend is Bubbles (another shetland) and they have the run of the place so they can visit their friends the BIG horses all day long. Isn't he soppy?!
