    I am just glad we binned the last fitter. Her solutions were expensive and solved nothing.

    DO has had a lovely play with his mate. Tidying has been done.
    Puppy love has gone to the dogotel.

    Well done on such a good find with the saddler. There are so many I have heard bad things about! Well worth the trip.

    Thanks all. Lovely to see you.

    Spoke to our Fabulous Farrier who is going to do Plops' shoes while we are away.
    We have a pony sitter but Plops is so docile I don't think she will be a problem for him.

    The combination of a great farrier and good hooves means that she only needs shoes every eight weeks.

    I have a new phone and DD is putting up with the foibles of my old one. She is so excited she has to tell me about her screensaver every five minutes.

    Hoping to make a NSD today.

    Thanks guys.
    Naughty Plops rolled her fly mask off in the mud - it has mega velcro so no mean feat!

    She is so funny she will stand for her fly mask and fly spray even without being caught first.
