My win was taking both horses out in the wagon, he travels like a dream with another horse. We then walked them both out down the lanes in hand ( neither me or my friend bounce anymore) to see how he was, he did grow a hand at one point but then followed Tosca. A big step forward, only trouble is my friend is working 13 days straight so not able to do it again until she is next off. Then had 2 good rides on him this week, and a quick one on her, at 24 i am bringing her out of retirement so its just a quick 15 minutes in the menage in walk every other day for a few weeks. Unfortunately rain has stopped play most days this week. Started volunteering in my local hospice charity shop 1 morning or afternoon a week, gets me out meeting people, as i can go days without seeing anyone.

My wins this week, 2 decent rides despite the awful weather and yesterday as it was dry but awfully windy ,i got all 3 stables creosoted. And got my boiler serviced plus found out now i am a OAP i get £200 heating allowance , has to be some perks to getting older.

My win was a letter from the hospital , telling me my eyesight hadnt been affected by my diabetes. However, one of my best friends died on monday, just a hour after i went to see her, which left me feeling flat.

My win was rain, yes we had 3 days of it, and my field has gone from burnt brown and crispy, to green shoots, everyone beware of lami though. Another win was actually getting 4 nice canters , my leg strength is coming back, tell you, i am 66, ridden all my life, often up to 6 or 7 horses daily ,only with breaks for holidays and when i had both knees replaced( back on within 6 weeks) , but not riding for 5 months when my late hubby was ill took its toll on my fitness and its blooming harder as we age to get fit. But i keep telling myself ,Rome wasnt built in a day

My win was travelling on my own to Holland to visit my step daughter. Had a great short break and rediscovered a liking for biking, so my push bike will come out of retirement.
