Tess is the queen and the boss of the farm. We affectionately call her our little chicken nugget—she’s stocky, short, and strong, and she’s loving her retirement. We bought Tess and her good mate Wiggy from Victoria, and they’ve been inseparable ever since.

Like Trevor, Tess knows to join the yards for some pampering when the boys finish their rides. Every now and then, we invite her back into the string to carry little people, and she absolutely loves being part of the team with the big boys.
