Jonathan: At the meeting of Comann Each nan Eilean (breed society for the pure Eriskay Pony) we were discussing what mares were in foal from this year and what might be expected next year.  Shealagh turned to Eòghann, who has more Eriskay ponies than anyone else anywhere, and asked ‘So Eòghann, are you going to tell us what your breeding intentions are?’  As quick as a shot, Eòghann replied “Well, at 74 years old now, I suppose it’s time I made room for some of the younger lads”.  I really think that needs to be recorded in the minutes, but as the Secretary I shall probably in get into trouble if I do!
