How the King of Arms works out


Well, another day, another horse to fix.

Ari - my love I am glad you are safely with Pat. I worry, you know I worry and I not knowing if you were ok was making me wonky.

So I've taken on another horse project, along with the one I am currently involved in. Currently I have Angel, my "Teeniest of Po's" who is an 11 hand high, 13 year old shetland welsh mix pony who was in a bad way medically when I got her from Pubnico. She tends to founder and she was quite overweight when I took her on which will make the condition 1000 times worse. She has lost weight, she looks really good. Her coat gleams in the light now and she loves me madly, and vice versa. So now I am taking on a 16.2 hand high Thoroughbred with a bone chip on his hock and a dropped hip. His weight is down and so are his spirits but we'll soon set that to rights. He will be my personal riding horse once everything is fixed up and he's moving pain free again. I seem to attract this type of animal. The ones no one else wants or knows what to do with. King of Arms is his name and he's GORGEOUS.

Ok enough about my animals for one post, even though I am a month from giving birth and everyone thinks I'm bloody crazy for taking him on, I can't wait to get started on him. It will take some time anyway for him to feel better and be sound.

I am going to try and post some pictures of Jack on here. the other love of my life, my nephew, who is 9 months old tomorrow. I am vaguely obsessed with him and he is absolutely perfect in my eyes (he is my sanity most days). But I want everyone to see him and I know his mother won't mind.

I'll write more tomorrow or perhaps later today on Jacks long hard journey through life so far.

Love ya all!
Ter
