Have Decided On ...


Poppy! As she was bought on Poppy Day and she's red!

Mel came out today to trim Grace and didn't have to do any trim at all as I have been keeping her feet in shape myself - feel very proud!!!

Waiting till next Wednesday for the next swab result now.

Grace's New Buddies




Meet Grace's two new partners in crime! They were living in a garden in Swansea and had been swapped for a quad bike, poor little things. Toni to the rescue and now they are mine!!! They will hopefully be Grace's new companions once she has the all clear.

Names still to be decided but the little Piebald gelding is officially 'Doughnut' and the little mare has no name at present - but I like 'Squirrel'!!

Good News! (kind Of!)

Grace's first swab has finally come back as clear for Strangles but has grown a fungus!! That is why it was inconclusive for a while.

The vet has said the fungus could be 'environmental' (whatever that may mean) and we'll see if one grows in the next swab.

2nd swab this afternoon.

The Swabs Start Again

Vet is coming today to start the new set of swabs.

Julian Midda (my Kineasiologist) left a message last night to say that there was no sign of Strangles at all in Grace's system now.

We shall wait and see! Once again, fingers and toes firmly crossed.
