Shrek the sheep may be gone, but a like-minded hermit is set to carry on his legacy. Horace has avoided shearing for six years on Canterbury's Big Ben Station.
The plan is to coax him from the hills next week to be shorn for charity in Springfield. "You can compare [them] because they are both sheep that have evaded capture," said musterer Francine Murray. "But they are different sheep. Shrek was Shrek. I hope [Horace] can follow its path."
