Good for you - I was nervous the first time I jumped after a longish break from it! - your neddy is lovely = here's to more fun and jumping to you both .

Any idea on his breeding ?

You are not alone with a bit of good 'old fashioned' grooming there... Spoke to farrier about this only the other day, he said cornucresine is much the same as Kevin Bacon, not to use too often. He also said its 'not what you put on, its what you put in...' Personally I am in love with the...

I am sitting here with tears in my eyes. What lovely support you have had from folks. I have to agree with meandmyself in that it is a very hard decision but should you decide to say goodbye it really is better a day too soon and all that. Its never a decision to make lightly and don't beat...
