Sam, our gentle giant of a carriage horse, is on a roll. After winning RDA Equine of the Year last month, he’s now been nominated for BBC Radio London’s Make a Difference award.

This is a new category which recognises animals that are changing lives, and as there’s no shortage of animals who are brilliantly skilled at this, we’re so proud that he’s been recognised. We love that so many people are finding out what we’ve always known, that he’s incredibly special. Good luck Sam!

It also gives us another opportunity to publicly thank HL Motors for donating and maintaining our custom-built carriage.

This lovely video tells you all you need to know, and may bring a tear to your eye.
