Hi, I’ve been very busy lately hence no blog, life has been very up and down. Whilst business has been very kind to me and for that I have managed to buy a nice new Audi Quattro, which I have to say I’m very pleased with although slightly concerned about how I’m going to pay for it. But then I’ve had a lot of misfortune to deal with as well as I lost my dearest friend Jack as you know in August. Then I had to assist in the putting down of a clients beautiful horse and then last week I bought a beautiful cob called Lampshades and I lost her to colic this very morning. I knew something was wrong with this mare as she was very quiet and very strangely I prayed last night for God to help her.

I had a very strange feeling this morning that she was not ok and bless her heart she died in my arms 2 hours later, so not the best Monday and sadly I had to cancel a lunch date with my aunt which I was really looking forward to. I’m hoping for a better week ahead. I’ve not jumped much as Sky and Sabbers are on holiday. I’m working on Clover and Romeo and praying I’ve done enough to do well on the 19th which will be my next show.

I will be in touch with some good news soon. I pray I’ve added a picture of lampshades so you can see how sad I am to lose such a wonderful horse …
