Well you are certainly keeping busy! Fab update.

What a great update, I'm pleased you're doing so well.
House looks fab.
Good luck tomorrow! However I'm sure you'll be fine, you are so thorough in your horse's training I've every confidence you wouldn't be taking him if he wasn't ready!

 

[Pearlsasinger]

And a great update it is!
Your photos look lovely on the wall.
I'm sure you will enjoy your ride tomorrow. Good luck!

When you're ready for a farm ride, you know where I am ....

 

[SashaBabe]

Great update. I love the photo of the Lancaster bomber. Have fun tomorrow.

 

[Kunoichi73]

Great update. You're doing brilliantly. Have fun tomorrow.

 

[Haniki]

Love the pictures, happy memories.
I hope you have a great time on the hunt ride.x

Sadly, I now have no one to look after the animals when I'm not here, so 6 hours out of the house is my maximum. I was going on another beach camp, which I have had to cancel. The big thing is that I have made a monumental effort to get on top of stuff. I sent the little tractor off for repair, over £600, but it now cuts all the grass in under 3 hours. I have had decorators in the main room, £700 but now it looks tidy. The pictures cost a fortune too, but they look great.

The builder has started on the little jobs (£500 - there were many of them) but next week is tackling the roof. I just think that getting the house straight is a priority.

He was ready a few weeks back, he was going... then when David died, he had 5 weeks off... and has only had 1 week back in work . He is usually hacked alone or with one other. Only ridden out in a group once, on the beach, although he was OK. That was a year ago though. But, he is generally an affable chap. I am expecting a bit of excitement. I have ordered a green ribbon. Was supposed to be here by 9pm!

Next year, the year after, whenever you're on top of the maintenance we can find you stabling for two and have a real fun weekend, with curry. Something to look forward to, maybe, no pressure, no time targets, just when life gets more bearable. You're doing such an amazing job, R.

That's a lovely update.
Those photos look fabulous - especially the Lancaster.
I wish you a sticky bum for tomorrow!

Have only just seen your news Red, I'm so sorry for your loss. Having read all your updates though - your keep buggering on approach is inspiring!

 

[Red-1]

The green ribbon was not delivered by Amazon, it will now be between 10th and 12th

Happily, my neighbour had some green ribbon. It is the fanciest green ribbon ever, with pink dogs and red bones printed on - BH will look simply fabulous!

Sometimes early mornings are the hardest, with an empty house. It catches me off guard. An always empty house.

Bet I won't be thinking about it in a few hours though.

 

[GoldenWillow]

Have fun with BH today x

 

[Bradsmum]

Hope you have a great ride and you both enjoy your day.

I hope you have a great time R, you deserve it.

 

[Tracking_up]

Have fun today. You've made great strides in getting on top of things.

 

[meesha]

Hope you have a nice ride. The pictures are lovely !! Well done for keeping busy and hats off for the cold water swimming. You are an inspiration

The condemned woman ate a hearty breakfast

Meanwhile, Rigs had a leg and gullet clip as he has been a bit sweaty when he comes in. He was rather relaxed about it all...



I know I am quite nervous as I keep having to go to the toilet!!!

 

[Kunoichi73]

You'll be fine and you'll enjoy yourself once you get there. Have a great day!

 

[Errin Paddywack]

Wow, that is what I call a breakfast. I couldn't eat half of that sadly. Hope you have a great day.

 

[NightStock]

Hope you are having fun today, great photos.

 

[Red-1]

BH was ace.






There was supposed to be a walk/trot group but then, there wasn't, so he had to grow up fast. He was astonished but great!

I actually can't believe I achieved this just 6 weeks after David's death.

 

[AmyMay]

Well done. Looks and sounds like a good day x

 

[SEL]

You both look great - well done!

 

[ycbm]

6 weeks already? You're doing so well.

BH is going to have to stop being Baby Horse and go to Big Horse soon
.

 

[Emilieu]

Such brilliant updates from the weekend. So glad that you are managing to have fun as well as getting on top of practical things.
Can’t believe you didn’t provide a picture of the fancy ribbon however

 

[Errin Paddywack]

He looks superb, not such a baby horse now and you look great together. Well done both of you.
