Happy New Year guys

Laura and Thomas here:

I hope you all had a nice break and Santa brought you everything that you wished for! I got a great new grooming kit, all the same colour so that my sister can’t steal it – don’t you just hate it when you get the yard and all you stuff has gone missing?

I did plenty of riding over the hols to keep me fit after all those mince pies I was munching. I was went to watch the boxing day meet, there were loads of people out with their horses and they looked dead smart all plaited up. I didn’t take Thomas (didn’t get time to get all my tack clean)!

Has anyone made any New Year's resolutions yet? I did the same old one - to give up chocolates. It lasted about a day, and then I had to have a load more Quality Street. That’s got be some kind of a record. A New Year's resolution broken in about 15 hours, I think next year my New Year's resolution will be to not make and New Year's resolutions!

Thomas has lost a shoe so I won’t be out hacking out this weekend but the farrier is coming on Monday so it won’t be long until the wheels are back on.
