We have had our two thoroughbreds for nearly one year. They are both ex-racehorses and are also both rescue horses who were starved and neglected. Spech was lucky to have a nice owner before us but he was lacking a lot of muscle and his feet still needed a lot of work. Sam came to us just after he had been rescued from the knackers - he was a skeleton with no muscle and a dull eye. We nursed them through a tough year of drought with feed shortages and then through equine influenza. They are still on rest from EI but are looking well -hence the before and after.

About Me

My Photo
Amy
I am 30 years old, am a microbiologist with a PhD and love looking after my little farm. I compete in dressage and showjumping with my horses. I have a passion for shopping and a weakness for pretty clothes, shoes and handbags. My husband and I have a gorgeous toddler called Elka and a little bub named Bronte. I am a mother who works and has a career - just don't call me a "working mother". I don't do inside hobbies and craft and have only successfully sewn two things in my life that weren't ripped horserugs. The scientist in me makes me a little cynical and I am more likely to tell you about my life and events then give you a pretty polaroid style picture and an inspiring quote. Not for everyone but I have a bad memory and blogging is my way of recording life :)
