Willberry received a request for Alice to be granted one of his special wishes from her Mum, Lara.  Alice has been through a tricky time after losing her father to pancreatic cancer.  Willberry was keen for Alice to have a fantastic day and create some lovely memories after the tough time she had been through just like Hannah would have wanted.

At the top of Alice’s wish list was to meet Ben Hobday and visit his yard. Willberry hold Ben close to his heart as he spent many happy hours in the company of Hannah and Ben - and let’s not forget that special trip at Badminton aboard Mr Mulry.....  

Willberry sprung into action and, with the help of Ben’s lovely wife Emma, a plan was soon in place.  Alice lived quite a long way from Ben’s yard so Willberry found her and her mum a lovely hotel to stay in called Eshott Hall.  Alice and her Mum got to stay two nights at Eshott Hall as Willberry wanted to make the experience as easy and as special as he could. 

The following day they arrived at Ben’s yard at midday and what an amazing time they had.  Ben and Emma looked after Alice and Lara extremely well. The cherry on the Willberry shaped cake was Ben inviting Alice to go cross country schooling on one of his horses...

“What an absolute treat”  Lara told us that she and Alice will never forget the experience and that it was a once in a lifetime day.

Very special thanks to Ben & Emma Hobday in making Alice’s wishes come true.
