For poor Grumpy dumblood - he's been having the most horrendous gas colic known to man!
Now, 38 hours later, he is on his way to recovery - lying down in his battered stable and farting for England, which is good news, but the last 2 days weren't fun.
It didn't help that he is not the easiest horse to treat (his nickname has a reason) and I'm pretty much the only person in the world that can do anything to him... So, to all those who might have seen a mad woman hanging onto a chiffneyed grey horse, galloping around the fen, trying to administer swiftly a shot of Finadine/Buscopan - I hope you've enjoyed the view, I certainly didn't enjoy the experience, but can see the funny side
So, here is to (raises a glass of red) a swift recovery and hope that I can eventually, one day... get some blinking sleep!
