How one is castigated when providing free care for strangers’ people or animals!!

The missive above talks of spite and deliberate malice, yet Scot-polo provided free succor for both animals and traveler, giving freely of water grazing and all requirements as requested by Simon King whilst on his travels past us in Lanarkshire.

We then used our network of friends throughout Scotland to keep a watchful eye on their travels as did many others throughout the UK.

We did the same for a lady from Hexham who also walked on her travels with pony and dog piglet from Hexham up through the highlands and back in 2002
.
Simon King walked with Pony Poppy, Dog Prue and Ferret La-La, from Lands-end to John o Groats No mean Feat Eh!! Collecting moneys for, and Promoting charities including the Riding for the Disabled (RDA). Each of those organizations both approved and welcomed his initiative.

Quite rightly we at Scottish Polo did our bit in Scotland to boost the funds by advertising their efforts, and alerting local press, and we make it very clear at no gain to our-selves.

The above dissertation demeans their efforts over the four-month journey, and the whole effort made by both man, animals, and associates.

We rightly continue to bring the project to the public eye, since it took a lot of planning help and courage from all parties more especially since Simon King apparently new nothing of horses 'till 2000 and of course there are still those charities hopefully benefiting from the continued publication and publicity.

If Sharon Packer has a personal problem with Simon King regarding Poppy it seems somewhat silly to advertise it on the chat page there by demeaning all the efforts of man and beast.

As to the libelous statements made against the MacDonald-Wagstaffe's; incidentally they are actually both competent and experienced equestrian operators, in teaching, eventing, dressage, show-jumping and polo, of many years standing, we are sure they will access their rights to remedy the matter in the courts.
