Highland Rain
Scottie is my first horse and is an ex racehorse who raced with the name Highland Rain. He was the inspiration behind starting EquiPepper and has been the driving force ever since. I come up with many of our posts by writing about what we are doing, something we have been struggling with or something I have learnt as a result of owning him. I wouldn’t change him for the world.
