Nancykitt's latest activity

I absolutely agree you couldn’t have known he’d escalate like that, and hindsight is always clearer. The only thing I’d add is that...

I'm so sorry this happened and I can understand how much it's shaken you up. When feeding horses in the field I have always placed the...
