Bitter sweet day

[SSM]

One year ago to the day, with a friend I trundled down the M1,M69 to the M4 and picked up Nelly (Stinkerstonker) I was bursting with pride when I unloaded her - little did I know that we would have such little time together. On the up side - she gave me back my passion for riding and I now have Gala (Mini Stonks) her pure sister, who I cannot imagine life without and knowing how fragile life is grab every moment I can with her.

Rest in peace Stinkerstonker - you are missed. - this photo was taken one year ago today when we took her straight out of the field. loaded her and gave her her first ever carrot!

Sorry self indulgent but

Bless, is there any CB in Ireland?.

A very sad post, but so glad that you had those months together and that as a result you and Mini Stonks have found one another. xxx

Aw, how sad for you, and yet how fortuitous that you should've found her sister.
May you have many, many happy years together!

Ah, RIP stinkerstonks x

Thanks for all the kind words, I was priveledged (sp) to have spent time with her, and am now so so lucky that I was able to get my hands on Mini Stonks.

As for CB's in Ireland, I have not heard of any - Irish Draft crosses are spectacular horses.

Edited to say just wish Mini Stonks had the same forelock genes as SS - I hate plaiting her wispy thing!!!!!!
