HO HO HO and a Merry Christmas to you all !!! :snowman; :rudolph; :christmastree;

Yup im still around and put me in the naughty corner for not visiting the site before now! Wow how good it is to be back around horses, there is not enough hours in a day for me now!
A quick update of whats going on dialysis wise , i passed my PET test and can start on the overnight machine (as opposed to the capd i have been doing for 4 years) after christmas , as there is a waiting list. Family wise ..nothing ..zilch ..nada .. i havent heard anything from anyone since my heart attack . As you know some of my beautiful dogs had to have new homes which broke my heart but ...all the new owners have kept in touch and they have all settled well and are very much loved by the new families , which is a great relief for me !
I now have a new man in my life hes gorgeous , with the biggest brown eyes you have ever seen and i spend every day with him , his name is Barney and for those horsey people here he is a 17.2 Hanoverian !!! I am just starting Parrelli training which the horse ones amongst you will understand and its great! Im fitter now than i have been for ages , but also more tired if that makes sense! but ask me if i care. Im out every day , doing something i love and socialising as well , its a big stable yard so i have made some new friends.
I do hope everyone is ok? I see we have a lot of new members now.

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS A HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND BEST WISHES TO YOU ALL !!!!
Lots of Love KICKSTART xxxxx

So great to hear from you Kickstart and even greater to hear how well things are going for you.  As your official second family, you're important to US and I'm so glad that you're following your passion with the horses and now the Parrelli training.

Horses, I love horses. If I could afford it I would have one.   Stables are great places to make new friends.  Have fun. Happy Holidays!
