Sylweddoli Byrder Byw

We went up to see Dee on Boxing Day and again today. It's a year now since we moved her to Wyndham Livery and she's a much happier horse as a result.

Being at a riding school, as Dee used to be, is a hard life for a horse. The horses always have to suffer at the hands of inexperienced riders and get pulled this way and that. Eventually they develop bad habits, or switch off altogether. The last year has been a kind of rehabilitation for Dee. She's become more relaxed and responsive.

We will probably be able to visit her two more times before we leave for Nepal. Time is getting short and we have to make sure that we are prepared, flights confirmed, shopping complete, clothes washed, medicines packed ...
