last week of 2008

Freezing weather but at least sunny during the day. Tried to book a lesson with Ken but his school is frozen. Jane tried to book a lesson at hickstead with Chloe but their school is frozen as well.
Freezing cold all this last week, so at least no muddy horses.

Ellie
Still not right after her leg injury at the end of November. I can't believe how long it is taking to heal and think it must have been much worse than i realised.

Risque
Her mud fever just won't heal up which is a real pain.
27th Dec - took her on a hack with Gail and Carrie to Graffam with lovely sandy tracks and had some great canters. if only the woods round here were as pretty and sandy.
Sally was meant to bring Ellie but she cancelled the night before which was really annoying as it would have been a good trip out for her.

Chloe
She is fine, and Jane is still sharing her. I think she does have some issues at the moment but if she doesn't discuss them I can't help so just carrying on and see what happens.

Panache
She is fine, but not that big. Can't see her getting as big as her mother, but will just have to wait and see.

Liza
jane isn't riding her much. not really sure why. she says it is because of her... mud fever... sore back... sore hock... artritis... etc.. and she is too sharp so...........

The dogs are all fine, but will have to do some more training with them. Time is tricky so will probably wait until the shooting season has finished.
