I’m really, really sorry to hear that you’ve had to say goodbye to the legendary Alf, it has brought a tear to my eye. A real legend and I think a lot of us felt we knew him very well. It’s clear he brought you so much joy and I hope those wonderful memories of a very special horse can provide...

Appreciate the insights folks! I usually say he’s a collie crossed with satan, because he’s a fiery, energetic little dude… ie he is absolutely nuts… but I flippin love him, he makes me laugh every day! These suggestions are much more flattering 😂

Just a bit of fun really 🤣 I have two dogs, one is very obviously a golden retriever, has his papers etc. The other came from a dog pound and I’ve always assumed he was some sort of collie cross, because he likes herding things and does that sorta crouch down thing etc. Anyway, for various...

Life can be terribly unfair and you have absolutely seen that first hand. I suppose it’s a similar concept to riding, to sorta circle back to “getting back on board” analogy and equestrian equivalency… we all know the risks, but we love it, we weigh them up, and we do it anyway. I think...

Honestly - you’ve done SO well to even go and dive again - reclaiming it, that is fantastic. Hope tomorrow is more enjoyable!

Aztec Diamond, based on my friend’s daughter! Her other tastes are a bit more £££, Ariat etc 😂 Superxcountry have some cool looking stuff too I think

I totally understand why you’re doing it. Not to be flippant… but I guess it is the equivalent of getting back on a horse after a fall in some ways. Definitely wise to try it out with someone you trust so deeply.

Just googled and it looks absolutely stunning. I hope you are able to enjoy it but equally there is no shame in backing out if it all becomes too much. Keep us informed either way! Great to see Boggle looking so happy ☺️

Not to be pedantic but Wagtail hasn’t been online in almost 3 years?

Yep! I have been rehabbing my horse from a tendon injury and at times it has been SO stressful and hard. The actual work itself is fine, but the mental strain / fear of “what ifs” is difficult. If you can plan in some respite for yourself, try to, I appreciate it is a bit of a luxury but it def...

Happy new year from drizzly Singapore. Hope 2024 brings you stacks of health & happiness.

Oh I completely understand what you mean. We were totally clueless as well tbh, thankfully our boy has been a star patient and we’ve had the luxury of being able to take our rehab very slowly and steadily with great support around us. It is a nightmare though and wouldn’t wish it on anyone! How...

Totally. Mine wasn’t particularly lame initially, at first vet thought it was very very unlikely to be a soft tissue injury. Unfortunately it was!

Keep us posted on what the outcome is, my horse had an injury like that in March 2022 and has just started doing bits of work in the arena. @Sossigpoker might not be the same scenario as the OP but when my horse had his MRI, he was referred to go to Troytown Equine Hospital down in Co Kildare...
