His name is Vito and he dances on the sand...

[HotToTrot]

Did you like what I did there? The lyrics are "her name is Rio and she...". So Vito, instead of Rio, and the Olympics were in Rio, so it's all topical and everything, and I swapped "Rio" for "Vito" and then.... see, geddit? Anyway.....

Less dancing on the sand and more meandering round suburban car parks with half-naked men in hot pursuit, but here he is, nonetheless, VITO!!!

I to would like to know this.
Question - do you go out looking for trouble just to fill your blog or are you really so far on the wrong side or fate and lady luck?

I third the hospital enquiry. I am so happy Vito is back!

More detail please....

Still not sure more tests to come. Not horse-related, though. Possibly something Crohn's-like.

Haha! Well. 1. I do a lot. The more you do, the more chance there is that something will happen to you. Of course you'll get a flat tyre one day if you do enough miles. 2. I'm on the gung-ho side and I have a high appetite for the ridiculous. So I will go ahead in circumstances that others may not go ahead in, which means more potential for stuff to go wrong. 3. I probably present a skewed picture in my blogs, because I write about the funny stuff! Nobody wants to read about how I got up and had jam and toast for breakfast... Or maybe they do?!

 

[PaddyMonty]

What sort of jam? White, wholemeal or fancy bread. Details are important.

 

[Curly_Feather]

Loved the post! Hope you feel better soon, or at least get to the bottom of whatever the problem is. Sounds awful

[Bernster]

Well... today I had (I hate myself) buckwheat porrridge with soya milk. Went horrifically wrong. Sticking to Nutella from now.

That sounds horrid, I hope you get answers soon. Good to hear that Vito is feeling well though

 

[CrazyMare]

High flying lawyer or not, I'd give you a telling off if you removed your own cannula under my care!!!! Hope you are feeling better soon, bowel type disorders are horrible xxx

 

[claracanter]

I love your first world problem with your two horses. I joke about this too with friends as I have the same god awful issue' which one to ride and how to ride it!' Ridiculously spoilt.

I was at Horseheath and was excited to see that you were there as well, but we were in different classes so totally different times/days obviously, as I don't jump as high as you. Anyway, I would love to have actually seen/stalked you and Vito, made famous through HHO. A real pair of celebs.

 

[Vodkagirly]

Hang on, how were you in hospital?
So did you get Vito to the event? Glad to see him back.

Yes, always need some naked men about when changing tyres.

I didn't remove it - because I thought it was a needle and I don't like them and I was concerned I'd break it off in my arm or something. But then I asked the nurse to show me what it was and all it was was a little plastic tube. So I reckon I could have pulled it out without doing too much damage.

I wasn't doing anything too dramatic at HH - would have been nice to meet you!

I'm not sure! But yes, I did.

What?! No, why?

 

[blood_magik]

Great update, as always.

What?! No, why?

My big horse who damaged his SDFT in 2013 bust again in Aug last year after Aston with a manica flexora tear, was sound and then went lame again in March, no idea why as nothing on the scans so he's turned away for a year as I don't know what else to do. The youngster purchased to have fun on this season as big lad out of action went lame in March with undiagnosed lameness, 3 months off now sound but since then we've had a fractured tooth requiring surgery and now he's about 2-3 weeks off starting jumping again and he's been kicked out hacking, requiring xrays and yet more time off and light work. I seriously just give up on 2016!
