Things for the yellow peril and I have been very d Things for the yellow peril and I have been very difficult for a long time now. 

We have enjoyed life together still, but I was pretty much at the point of hanging up my Legerete dreams for him. His balance challenges and physical difficulties just seemed too much for us both. I was resigned to that (kind of....), but Fuego's recent bump to the head meant that he could not accompany me to the instructor training clinic. So, with the approval of my much trusted vet, Des stepped into the breach - but I had limited hopes. 

However, after all of the problems being revealed to Sylvia Stoessel on day 1, solutions of much magnitude where discovered on Day 2. Sylvia is a teacher of great empathy, skill, understanding and knowledge, and I don't think I have ever been so grateful to have someone else ride my horse. 

Des starts stem cell therapy soon which I hope will improve the situation further, and whatever happens, we had some moments together which made me smile a great deal. Good boy Des, thank you Sylvia.

I hope you managed to find a little peace in these very unusual times.
Apparently my book is available on kindle, who kne Apparently my book is available on kindle, who knew. 

If you’d like to avoid Amazon we will be selling it through the website. However, you’ll have to wait a bit longer as the printer is still doing some colouring in (or something of that nature) so the first order won’t be with me until mid April. 

I hope it’s useful to some people and horses. It’s a very funny thing to have done and I’m having to squash down some gremlins.

I’ve enjoyed this greatly but actually my best moment was losing Buzz and then finding him in car sitting like this.  I assume the taxi sideline is to pay for more bones.

This week I’ve started a new project; working wi This week I’ve started a new project; working with one horse from the back of another horse.  This is ponying to the max, and involves directing energy at one horse with the other horse being really clear the energy isn’t about them.

 This is hard for Luis who takes everything personally, and for Des who thinks most things don’t apply to him. And hard for me as my brain gets strained.  Good to keep the old cogs turning…

A beautiful morning on the moor. The skylarks are A beautiful morning on the moor. The skylarks are back, lizards are out, tadpoles are turning and Fuego got to sneakily eat some duckweed when no one was looking. 

It’s this kind of day that makes me forget about winter, it works every time. I’m so gullible.

When I first got involved with Legerete many moons When I first got involved with Legerete many moons ago, what I didn't expect to happen was to meet so many  people who I would come to consider great friends for life. 

One of those is Nikki Stephens, and it was lovely to spend a weekend in the Somerset sunshine teaching alongside her. I think we have found ways to best blend our varied interests and skills. 

It was also nice to see some very different countryside, with many more straight lines than Devon. And to borrow a very good canine running companion (who Adam likened to a stoat in appearance, which Scobie took in good humour).

It was also a weekend of 3 ponies of small stature, but huge spirit, Jonty, Harvey and my great love Leroy. Leroy didn't actually get involved, but he wore a very nice pink headcollar.
