So very sorry for your loss somehow it is worse when not expected, she looked a beautiful soul xx

Our new wood shed that was built in the Summer is now in the field doh! It's really nasty, I left the horses out last night but they came in this morning and will stay in now until tomorrow.

I'm a bit outside your area but I haven't found the weather in Staffordshire much different from the South East. Of course you are looking a bit closer to Wales so that might be the difference.

Oh she's lovely, we had a Saluki x Greyhound and possible a bit of something else. She just looked like a small greyhound. On the whole her recall was pretty good but you had to be alert to what was around. Once she started after a rabbit or deer they'd be no getting her back but she'd...

Well I wouldn't have another Cocker, ours is 13 now and finally a delight but she was hard work when she was younger. Having said which our youngest Lab who is all working lines has the same needy thing going on but he's a complete softy with it whereas she was quite snappy when she was...

I recently had a new SF out and she didn't try to sell me a saddle even though I was happy to buy a new one. The previous SF sold me a made to measure which my mare hated right from the start so i'd been using an old saddle I already had which she seemed happy in until recently. She has...
