FINALLY! Things are looking up!
The last six weeks have been a nightmare.
Poor Grace has moved fields three times, once after leaping through barbed wire to escape from cows that a stupid farmer put in with her!
She also had a positive Strangles swab.
In the last week I have had to make a choice whether to;
a) put Grace through ten days of intensive treatment which involved putting permanent catheters up her nose to the back of her throat and stitching them to her nostrils, pumping water through the tubes a few times a day and also injecting her with high doses of penicillin
b) move her to West Wales to live with the lady who has done all her Kinesiology tests - at a cost of £85 per week
c) try desperately to find somewhere local that she can live where she can rid herself of the Strangles at her own pace whilst being isolated from other horses
It looks like someone is watching over me as I have now been offered a secluded field for Grace to live on her own for £5 per week! It is only five minutes from my house and is near the fabulous training stables where she will re-begin her training once she is better.
I feel so much happier now, hence the post as I have been too depressed to post on here about all the bad news!!
Yay!!!

excellent. shame she'll be lonely though - does she have any other animals to at least look at?
and as i said before - you don't have to confine your blog to grace related things ........
She can see about 6 horses from this field so she should be much happier. They are in the next field but sepearted by a river and lots of fencing .. just hoping she won't do anything daft and try to get to them.
She moves in on Wednesday - will add some more pictures then :)
