Things were very ghoslty in the paddock last night. The northern lights were floating across the sky and this ghostly beast was sighted at the gate:

Ooo, scarrrrey!

Poor McT  has a skin affliction–all the hair is rubbed off and his skin is feeling very irritated.

Many things have been tried, dettol and betadine baths, pine-tar salve, MTG… Next will be baby ointment.

So don’t be shocked by the sight of him as he does look a fright.

It is funny how well sand sticks to all the ointment after a lovely roll in the arena…
