A New Arrival

Endurance racing is a tough sport and Rooster has done very well in the last few years and is now competing at quite a high level.However as with any athlete you are always close to having a mishap that could rule you out of your chosen event for a while, and so it is with our chestnut chum. So over the last few weeks H has been considering having a reserve to be there in the wings if something untoward (fingers crossed that it won't happen) occurred.

After hours spent on the internet she decided that a four or five year old gelding who had not competed would fit the bill. So off we went to mid wales to look at a prospective candidate and today she returned with.....Rama

                             "OK so I'm a fifteen year old mare ? What of it ?"

She has moved into Kavi's stable and has settled in ok having wolfed her tea down. Don't worry Kavi lovers he has temporarily relocated to an adjacent room which, as it had a bulging haynet in it, was considered acceptable.

She took housemate with her to pick Rama up so Darcy stayed here with  me. We started watching the racing together but after loser after loser after loser limped home at the rear of the field usually to the accompaniment of an anguished howl from me, he disappeared to make himself comfortable and to put his paws over his ears, (such bad language)
