T
he Lancashire Evening Telegraph winner Mrs Annette Thompson, met with the latest Shire horse who stands at 17 hands and one, whom she has named Midas. Annette was chosen ahead of hundreds of others against suggestions such as Winston, Gladstone, Bullseye, Tackler, Cobbles………………..
Annette said “the inspiration for his name came because Daniel Thwaites, this year, celebrates the golden anniversary of Shire horses returning to its stables 50 years ago. I think a golden celebration is as important as a golden wedding and I think he fits the name brilliantly. I am delighted to have won.”
