My lovely sponsor Kan Teq sent me a Christmas parcel which after a little investigative rattling, sniffing, and squeezing went under the tree to be opened on Christmas day! Wendy at Kan Teq has her own horses and understands the needs of ‘horsey ladies’ and had sent me some lovely toiletries including that god send Neutrogena hand cream, lip balm for chapped winter lips, polos for the ponies, chocolate money and a few more lovely goodies for me! The best part of my little Christmas bundle though was a new medical armband cover for my Kan! I think medical arm…

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2011 everyone x – Click images to read Santa’s message!

…this weather may be pretty, but it’s also pretty boring not being able to ride, and the horses are making it known that they are bored too by getting into as much mischief as they can! They are only having a few hours turn out each day whilst I get their boxes ready so they can go back in and spend the day munching and snoozing, it’s a hard life! Today I decided to give riding a go and raked the outside track, a diagonal, and a 20m circle in the arena. The surface holds up pretty well in cold…

WARNING – it contains some corny language and scenes of an equine nature….

Some very exciting developments have been going on at ‘GHE Towers’ recently and one of those has been the addition of a new sponsor for 2011. A few months back I was approached by Lori from ‘Going Home’ to see if I would be interested in being sponsored by them, and once she explained a little bit more about ‘Going Home’ and what they did I was a definite yes! ‘Going Home‘ is a not for profit organisation dedicated to buying up failed racehorses and giving them one to one care, attention, and instruction until they are rehabilitated, re-schooled and ready to go to…

With 2 horses to take through the winter and Christmas on the horizon I had a bright idea to save money on bedding and put that saving towards buying Christmas presents.  Dustry and Soap have always been on rubber mats with bedding created by Chipmunk Equine, it’s a mix of savings and chopped straw which has also had the dust extracted. I keep them on this bedding because I have allergy related asthma (dust being one of the allergens!) and I can happily muck out both boxes, bank the beds up, and then lay them back down without as much…
