My next equine project horse

The brown envelope finally arrived yesterday. Just one sentence on the letter.

Bone scan normal..........words cannot describe how I feel. Off to tell Ted and his friends now.

Yes yes yes yes yes! And now begins the rest of your life! :)

Bless Ted for looking after you when knocked off your feet. I have a very 'challenging' youngster and we have been through a lot together and come a long way as you and Ted have. I am probably closer to him than my other 2......maybe because these guys previously had no trust, when you gain it, it is all the more precious to them........:o
 
Thank you all so much. I had the best nights sleep for a very long time last night.
I do have the April mammogram to get through but it is classed as a routine scan and is 12 months after the surgery took place. I had got it into my head that something was wrong because I get so stiff and sore after any form of exercise. My breakfast is porridge and pain killers ! At least I now know that the pain is the aftermath of the chemotherapy, instant menopause, severe lack of fitness and old age.

Ted came into the yard this morning for a tie up session, which is just a tie it to the wall and abandon it for an hour whilst I do all the work. Most of the time he can see me trundling about with the barrow and the cat sits with him. I know it's not exactly pony club but I can't be doing with a horse that cannot stand quietly by itself.

My friend arrived to ride the cob mare for me and asked me me 'what the xxx is that' pointing at Ted, 'another waif and stray you have taken in' ? I was a bit offended, I thought Ted had matured and looked reasonable, admittedly he is a bit dragged through a hedge backwards and is sporting an afro hair do.

So with the cob gone, out came the kitchen scissors, his forelock was so long it can be tucked into his head collar noseband. I thought how quiet he had been, obvious now - he couldn't see anything ! his mane was below his neck and his beard was impressive. He now sports the pudding basin look and is in hiding. Alice has contacted those Showmae onesie folks and ordered a tent for him.
 
I'm thrilled for your good news, such a relief for you along with your family and friends including us on here.

Onwards and upwards now, full steam ahead but if you ever buy a onesie for Ted (or any of them) I am disowning you right now, you just cannot take away their dignity like that!

I told Alice onsie's are not masculine so she has cancelled her order and bought him a duffle coat. He just needs a balaclava now. The swallows and House Martins are going to have a warm nest this year, loads of Ted hair to collect.

Are they on their way yet ?
 
Fantastic news about the scan!

Just to add, that I gave the foster filly a 'pudding basin' cut this time last year, as she had an incredibly thick double mane and I had let it grow far too long. She looked :eek3: after I'd done it, but I was then able to wash it and brush out all the tangles, and then set to with the solocomb to create a 'just pulled' look. She looked perfectly presentable after that :).

Aw AA I'm so pleased you got positive results, I haven't posted on this thread for a while but have been reading along with everyone else about you and your gang's adventures (or misadventures in the case of Ted? ;)) and have been enjoying your updates thoroughly as usual.
I have been keeping my mental fingers crossed for you since you posted that you had to go back for another scan so I'm really really glad you got the result you were hoping for! Thanks again for including us all in your emotional and personal journey :)

Thank you, all I need to do now is rid the demon voice that appears now and then saying 'what if it comes back'.

Ted has refused to make the trip from stable yard to barn before dark, he is frightened someone might see his new hair style.

Work tomorrow and the first suit and meeting the public day. Confidence where are you !
