    Mary King retiring

    She was one of the greats. Someone who I looked forward to watching. Always smiling and humble. I hope she enjoys her retirement.

    How would you value this horse?

    Prices seem to have massively risen over the past few years. I’d have said she should have been around £4k, but nowadays I wouldn’t have been suprised if you’d paid £10k. At the end of the day you could afford what you paid and you’re happy with her, and that’s what matters.

    Badminton Entries out.

    I’m not being critical. I remember someone else who was injured years ago saying that they got great care because they were on the Olympic team/pathway. I had good private insurance when I worked with horses.

    Badminton Entries out.

    I saw a post that Laura had had her shoulder repaired already. Amazing how quickly they can get things done. I had to wait six months for a similar operation on mine. I wonder how long it will take to get back to fitness? Took me months, but again, I think she’ll probably have access to...

    Badminton Entries out.

    Perhaps it’s fate that you go on a different year when there are more entries…

    Badminton Entries out.

    She did say she’d be missing the beginning of the evening season due to the operation, so I’d think that will include badminton? It’s warming up to be a rocky season already, what with Laura’s fall, Izzy Taylor’s broken leg and poor Louisa Milne Home’s horrible fall.

    Badminton Entries out.

    I think she’s happy with the pressure, coming back from having her baby so quickly.. She can do pressure! I had a quick look the other day. Did I remember correctly that Colorado Blue is entered again? I’d love to see them win. It’s about time. Or Emily King or Bubby. But I’m really...

    Pool noodles…

    Wouldn’t it be really difficult to hold?

    Best Defibrillator for small yard

    I’ve just gone back through my messages. This was them and à screenshot of their message about it. I was considering doing it for my cafe, but never went ahead as someone else nearby did.

    Best Defibrillator for small yard

    There is a charity that supplies defibrillators if you make it a public one, and you raise a certain amount for them. It could just be a local thing, I suppose. And I can’t remember its name, sorry!

    Building stables

    It often depends on your local planning department as to what you can use. We could only use timber. But they’ve been up 20 years and are still in great condition. I do creosote them most years, and we did replace the roof about eight years ago. They do get very hot in heat waves, but that’s...

    RIP Sam

    I just saw that on a French Eventing page. Very sad. A very special horse.

    Sidewinder syndrome

    After a week of bute and 30 paracetamol a day he is, dare I say, starting to stand straighter and isn’t leaning on things. We might be able to get to summer and the warmer weather and see if it helps. I’m thinking this will probably be his last winter unless he miraculously improves.

    Winter is a cruel mistress

    It’s trying to snow here today, wet sleety stuff. This is our entrance hall, which is unfinished. I brought our elderly bunny inside in October because her companion died and she looked frail and lonely. Then I got lent another elderly bunny as a companion, and finally managed to catch the...
