So plenty has happened since I was properly on here, so here is a bit of a summary of what has happpened, with some pictures too......
2015 - Last year I was on HHO, Pidge got diagnosed with Cushings and I thought that was the end for him. Went through lots of different feeds before finally finding feed he would eat and he didn’t look like a hat rack!
Been a year in December since I got Stan, my JRT x Patterdale x Border Terrier and he wormed his way into all the families hearts.
2016 – Achieved with help from my sister and parents, a childhood dream, to buy a house with land for the horses towards the end of the year.
2017 – Small yard created from part of the fields, oh to have running water and electric again, bliss! The three Amigos - Sunny, Pidge and Bonnie.
2018 – After Beast from the East swept in and we got snowed in, I was so glad to have the horses at home and that I didn't need to travel to get to them!
It was then so nice spending time with the horses in the nice weather.
2019 – Covid hits and I started working full time from home. Feel very lucky to have the horses at home when friends on full livery can’t even see theirs.
2021 – Thanks to some great lads, old boundary cleared of old stock fencing and rubbish, and just over 100 tree saplings planted.
End of the summer had a freak accident jumping Pidge and broke my right wrist badly, resulting in emergency surgery and titanium plate inserted. Last time we jumped together
2022 – I took voluntary redundancy from work as wanted to spend more time with my parents as Covid made me realise how quickly time goes.
End of one chapter beginning of another abruptly stopped when we lost Sunny, my sisters heart horse. My heart broke twice, once for losing Sunny and seeing Pidge lose his soul mate of 17 years.
2023 – Stan loves the freedom of having a couple of acres to mooch around.
2024 – Last set of hind shoes for Pidge, as his stringhalt was just making it too uncomfortable for him, flex hoof boots purchased so we can continue hacking and going over Cannock Chase.
