Hello Everyone, what a welcome from all over the world. I've never been further than Europe!!
Thank you for your kind comments about my girls and Dennis.
I've looked at a lot of your websites and WOW double WOW, you have some pretty amazing horses

AnnaC - I judged at Sharon's September show (19 classes of Mini's!) this year and she invited me to meet her herd. Derek said that I'd end up getting a Mini!! Anyway when I met her boys Mo took a shine to me following me around, next thing I knew we'd struck a deal and home he came with me. He's been an absolute star, he is such a nice person, even though he's a stallion he does not bite, has manners and behaves in many ways like an arab. I took him to a show today and he got a 1st and 5th and apart from being a fidget he was well behaved.
Dennis was destined for great things, he was shown under saddle by Lucinda Sims and trained by Robert Pickles FBHS but he was kicked in Dec 05 resulting in a subchondral bone cyst in his shoulder joint, this was operated on in June 06 and he's had various treatments along the way including IRAP and extensive physio and rehab. The picture was taken in September 07. It was only the 5th time he'd been ridden in the last 15 months. I don't know what the future holds as his latest xrays indicate that the cyst is reforming which is devastating news.
Sassy - your ponies are lovely
. Minnie has won many Championships although I haven't shown her myself I do hope to show her in Veteran classes - do you have those in Australia?
