A proud Clydesdale heritage

There’s a piece of Scottish history living quietly in Melbourne’s west. For more than 70 years, Haylands Clydesdale Stud has carried on a tradition that began in Rockbank back in 1953, when the late Hugh Barrie established the stud at his farm on Greigs Road. Today, the horses are being bred, raised, and shown by the second, third, and fourth generations of Barrie’s family, through Plumpton local Barbara Ford, her daughter, and her eight-year-old granddaughter, now helping to carry the tradition. For Ms Ford, the connection has always gone above a hobby or business – it’s the horses who make her family, as she tells Jack O’Shea-Ayres. https://meltonmoorabool.starweekly.com.au/news/a-proud-clydesdale-heritage/?utm_term=Autofeed&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwY2xjawU07RFleHRuA2FlbQIxMABwZG9mBXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR6DIPkd5KwMeoaq4euznzmW-pGQs7W0_hjH1clqO81vT4v__Uxpud3T1e_XWA_aem_M4jUd1SjHHm6xAkCKe9vbQ#Echobox=1791428661
