Jules, I'm a born and bred farm 'girl', We do the best for them at the end because it's the greatest thing you can do. The 'toughest' of male farmers have struggled. There's no shame that you've previously found it difficult. RIP your wonderful mare. So glad she had you! Xx

"You were quite tenacious!" It was the use of the word 'tenacious', that I remember the most. Just brilliant. That comment was made as I waited for an ambulance having 'accidentally dismounted'! Jumping incident and nothing serious.

I have never fallen off a horse. I've had a lot of 'unforseen dismounts' though.

Unfortunately that doesn't fit the narrative of some people. And that quite a lot of us are saying that her punishment is disproportionate to her actions.

Yes! I see your point too!

Oh your last sentence...??

This. Absolutely this with massive amounts of tinsel and flashing lights. Her actions and the punishment for it don't match.

Very knowledgeable who was always happy to share. Condolences to all her friends and family.

I don't know much about her but quite a few animals have died in her care in what seems like neglectful circumstances. Combine that with drink and drug driving (more than once), and her committing revenge porn then yes. I'd say that's pretty awful.

First thing I click on in the morning! Before the news etc!

You have nursed Rigsby through this and he's coming out the other side, literally. You and Mr Red have been nothing short of miraculous. As you say, he's hardly eaten anything and he sounds happier. Breathe, give yourself a pat on the back.

Come on Rigsby! Your mum is battling bloomin hard for you. We're all rooting for you!

Oh God. Really sorry to hear this Red. Will be thinking of you today.

Just caught up on this thread as the snow settles outside. I don't generally get 'smitten' with other peoples horses, but these two are just lovely!

Did something very similar at the Cumberland Show in the early 90's. It's been nearly 30 years and it still makes me shiver thinking about my stupidity!
