He's been found thank goodness!

Sorry to hear about your break. I fractured head of right femur years ago and also 2 vertebrae. I was fitted with a dynamic hip screw. I was back in the saddle 8 months later but not as brave! I was over 40 when it happened. Guess what? I broke my left femur last year and have an IM nail...

It arrived this morning!

So pleased you've found him. What a lovely happy ending!

The horse is obscenely over-weight and not pleasing on the eye!! This is so hypocritical - how can an obese horse be placed, let alone win!?? It's quite shocking.

The right decision, but a truly difficult one! Run free dear boy. It's never, ever easy. Kind thoughts and I know just how dreadful this is. x

I lost my mare aged 29 - I'd had her since she was a 4yo. This was just over 2 years ago and it doesn't hurt quite as much, but there are moments when I get very emotional. Grief has no set time table so be kind to yourself. Treasure all those wonderful memories. I have my horse's ashes in a...
