Bruce Smith<br />
As some of you will know Bruce Smith<br />
– Stud Head Groom – underwent<br />
chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment<br />
in November and December last year. At<br />
the time of writing this story I am very<br />
pleased to say Bruce has had the surgery<br />
to remove the tumour and is recovering<br />
well in hospital. I hope you will all join<br />
me, and all my colleagues at the Suffolk<br />
Punch Trust in wishing Bruce a speedy<br />
recovery and we hope to see him up and<br />
about soon.<br />
The team at <strong>Village</strong> <strong>Voices</strong> also wish<br />
Bruce well as he recovers from his<br />
operation and treatment (Editor)<br />
We have a large new arrival at the stud!<br />
He is called ‘Besthorpe Achilles’ and he<br />
is a new addition to the stallions at the<br />
Suffolk Punch Trust<br />
stud. He is rather beautiful and has a<br />
very majestic air about him; he is 3 years<br />
old so he has a very bright future ahead<br />
of him! Achilles is a very appropriate<br />
name for him: in Greek mythology;<br />
Achilles was a hero of the Trojan War.<br />
Achilles also has the attributes of being<br />
the most handsome of the heroes<br />
assembled against Troy. You will be able<br />
to meet Achilles when you come and<br />
visit us on the OPEN DAY.<br />
DON’T FORGET<br />
