Another year has passed! So time for mini update? The good news, both Cardinal and Paloma are well - the bad, neither is owned by me anymore.
Paloma is still playing polo, near us in Cirencester, and by all accounts is a great pony. She was sold on from the original player and I'm in contact...
Oh I’m so pleased you might have gotten to the bottom of the ulcers with your boy!
She’s not been tested for Cushings as the vet didn’t think she had any obvious symptoms, but I was ask them to test as she is 20 so you never know! Vet is coming back on Wednesday so I’ll ask him to test. We...
Hi - jumping on this thread too as I’m also having awful eye issues with my old TB. She had an ulcer in one last August, then huge ulcers in both in the autumn, saw the specialists twice, they had Diamond burr debridement - twice - she was ok but then they came back in May, and since then she’s...

Yes!! That was him with Tim!
He is actually back there now as I’m busy with work, Tim is taking him cubbing! I have told him to sit tight! Mill Farm are so lovely , such a friendly team and Tim is a horse whisperer!
Gosh, well it’s been a while since I updated this, but today I saw Paloma for the first time since I sold her and it jogged me to update this!
Paloma is, to quote her player, “absolutely amazing” . She was playing in a final today and I saw her big chestnut ears in the pony lines and rushed over...
I love bombachas! I get mine from Arandu, I usually get the women's cut but the mens look good :) I know you've said you don't want to order from Argentina but Arandu are great if you're can't find them over there. They've even sent me polo boots, bridles - they're reliable...
I'm SO EXCITED!!!
Heading off there tomorrow for the day, please please stop raining ( although do rain enough for Fiddlerontheroof to win the Supreme!) - have a fab week everyone! Hope all horses and jockeys come home safe :)
I did too - but that's also me being an armchair jockey! Thought he was going so well too.
Wasn't Lalor fabulous - it was so lovely to see him back on form!
My youngster has the most stubborn mud fever! It was a small circle, took the scabs off with Aromaheel but it just won't go! Everytime we think it's clear it scabs up again and gets sore.
Vet has been and he's had antibiotics - we've also tried flamazine, Aromaheel, that silver spray and now...
What a race! As an Altior fan I was gutted for him but Cyrname was superb! Looks like Altior hit his usual flat spot but didn't spark up again?
However, Lostintranslation really blew me away! He really is the real deal. My favourite chaser now that Cue Card has retired - and aptly lives in his...
True, and as I said - I totally understand why Faugheen's still in training and I think people do appreciate them, but with a horse so loved by the public there will always be concern about keeping them going (and in this case sending him over fences). I hope he runs well and retires ( whenever...
I'm just so pleased he got round safely - and bar those couple of (big) mistakes he did fly around. As long as he's happy and going well, I can understand why they're keeping him in train ( although if he was mine I'd have retired him!) I thought Douvan was fantastic, clear the engine is still...
