FEATURE # 10

Thankyou so much for the good wishes & messages of support The surgery went well, it was by far the easiest anaesthetic recovery I’ve ever had & I’m not in too much pain Now its time to heal & hopefully my ankles will be almost normal soon….I look forward to being able to run again & ride my horses

Speaking of my horses, Have a look at this beautiful artwork, made for me by the very talented *whispersss

This is my horse ‘Will’ with some magnificent wings He is the horse that came with me to uni & helped me through years of torture! Now he spends his days gorging on grass & bossing around his buddy Saxon. You can see photos of my little herd over at *Goblin-stock my stock account
