Hi from Qld, Downunder...

[Stewey]

Hi, and thanks for having me.

I was certain I'd joined up here 8+ years ago, but evidently not.
My wife and I breed Clydesdale horses, and show them, and although Scots do not exhibit livestock at fairs and shows while wearing a kilt, our family decided we would - simply to show some pride in the ancestry of where the Clydesdale came from - plus my surname - Stewart-Koster - the Stewart part of our family was from Craigiehall - near Edinburgh, and Alyth, Perthshire, among other interesting stories.

Plus we do it for fun.

I sometimes wear the Black Stewart kilt (The red one is a bit loud for the occasion, for me), and sometimes a Maclean one, mostly greenish, which also does not stand out too much, when parading the horses.
Our oldest son prefers the Blue Douglas tartan.
Our daughters like the Heritage of Scotland (not the Pride of Scotland) one.

I saved a bit of hair from one of our older Clydesdales some years ago, and plan to make a long horsehair sporran in due course- for the fun of it also. (I do make our own harness for the clydies, so sewing leather isn't new to me.)

I'll try & find a couple of pics.

Thanks again
Ian
