a bit of an update, (a bit mixed really)

have been flat out busy so have harldy been on here for weeks!!

Ian is going well, had his dressage saddle refitted yesterday as he is muslcing up so well now... has gone from a narrow to a medium (thank god i bought an adjustable one!) was away last week so he hasn't been out for a couple of weeks, but last time out he was very good, hopefully we'll get out later this week

Pickles has started his road work....with slightly too much enthusiasm, i think he knows whats coming.... and if he's looking forward to it half as much as i am he should be fun to ride!

KT has gone off to start pre training, has aparently taken to it like a duck to water and is being very well behaved, so fingers crossed for her!

Unfortunalty buttons broke his leg the week before last, not quite sure how, but accidents happen, such a shame and he was turning into the most fantastic colt, but pastry is back in foal to the same stallion so fingers crossed next year we get one as good

Sally is possibly on course for another change in career, my brother keeps growing and is doing more riding, sally may be bought back into work once sweetie is weaned for him to try out! Sweetie is currently (hopefuly as i type) at leahurst having her front leg straightened, as its wonky and hasn't come straight enough with time and special shoes, after losing buttons we may keep her, certainly for the short-mid term and see what she turns out like, apart from the leg she is very pretty, and my vet assures me the leg won't casue any problems long term.

Clive (who is currently away being stored with other colts) may now be cut & come back, he may get produced for the jumps, but i haven't seen him to make a decsion, he needs cutting as soon as the weather is right as he won't get his 2yo season & TBH he isn't gutsy enough atm

Susie & Sprite are both doing very well, and fingers crossed nothing goes wrong with them!!

Granny is currently at a PC rally doing his D test with my brother ..... PMSL!!!

anyway, had better fly again, its taken me over an hour to type this in between a thousand phone calls!!

I am so sorry to hear about Buttons, you must be very upset, accident will happen, but someones life which has barely begun is so sad.

PMSL at SLemon and Granny

LOL at you, we were on competitors row (by equine america & horse health)

It was nice to chat earlier - seems like AGES ago since you were last on here!
Glad things are progressing nicely with your horses - although I too am gutted for you about Buttons
