Well done, this all sounds very thorough! I missed an episode - why did they become The Carriage Horses?

Crikey! What a report. So your OH bought you a lorry to cajole you into saying yes - I now feel put out as I only got chocolate and I feel I should have played harder to get and demanded a lorry as well, or at least some cake. Fantastic progress with King! He looks fab and he's come on so...

That is annoying. But you seem to have thought through all of the options and sadly concluded that there is no sensible way to do transport! But with a bit of luck, it is only a temporary break. There are, as you say, worse things that can happen!

Hello! All is going well in Japan, normal levels of chaos, navigational failure and general ridiculousness (may have done a charades style imitation of a showjumping round on foot in a crowded station when attempting to pronounce Japanese word for horse in effort to find nearest stables)...

https://www.an-eventful-life.com.au/eventing-news/top-10-viewed-cross-country-videos-2016-countdown-no-5 Somewhat amusingly, this video was the 5th most viewed of An Eventful Life's videos last year. Other than the obvious point that a video of me is liable to include some general idiocy and...

Oh my goodness, well done!!!!

I worked silly hours in the City and, when I started out, I had my horse in a yard out south, which meant I could only really ride at weekends. Getting to Cobham before or after work in the City wasn't do-able. She was kept going by a very good rider (the yard owner) but I struggled. I only...

Haha! Apologies for depriving you of my boobs! Thank you! I am sure I can manage to bore you all with my tales from Tokyo. Thanks! It is for good. Ned Two rehomed already and Ned One will be with his new owner in a couple of weeks. Than is very nice of you, thank you...

Thanks! It is a tough sport! But it has been amazing. Thanks! Thank you for reading! I feel sad, too... Glad you have enjoyed reading! Ok - I am sure it will be equally bonkers. Yep. A story for another post, about how I don't really want my kids to event, and...

It was nice to meet you, hope you had a good day! Ha, it is going t be chaos! Thank you! Well, it has been nice for me to be able to share it, and be reassured by you all that I am a bit bonkers!! I haven't read that one! That is very kind f you! Thank you! Thanks. It...

Ha! Yes, maybe I can test drive the Olympic horses. Yes. It's an opportunity that we couldn't pass up! Thanks! Oh dear - more coffee? Thanks! That's a nice thing to say - but not sure I am an inspiration! Good luck! Thank you for reading! Thank you! That's right...

...Tokyo. When I bought Parrot, I cried. I cried because, in truth, I didn't want another horse. I wanted Vito. But if I cried when I bought Parrot, then how much more I cried when I had to let him go. It's hard to say, really, who opened the door. It was either Vito, or my husband...
