Horses were always the main problem, whether it was in the Welsh Valleys, Bristol or even Hereford. I always ended up with the big cases no-one else would touch. Nice to get some recognition for all the hours of hard work.
When the Sea Empress oil tanker ran aground as it was trying to enter Milford Haven Harbour in West Wales I was one of the first three Field Staff deployed to assess the impact and start rescue operations.

Even as a trainee I was destined to deal with equines. I was awarded the Antonia Parry Award for best equine knowledge.
The actual Antonia Parry shield. Can't believe how young I looked.

ReplyDeleteYou must've found all your Certs & photos stashed somewhere in the Caravan? ;)
By looking at those photos, it is not difficult to imagine how challenging and exciting the life of a hard-working aniaml inspector can be.
ReplyDeleteI'm not at all surprised by all the awards you received, you work so hard and you're a good problem solver and you think things through before you charge headlong into something. I would give you an award each month if I could.
