Hi everyone

Sarah and Tippy here:

Another year has come round again - and it's Tippy's birthday today! She's officially 21 today. I can't believe where the time goes. She was only three when I first met her.

We're having a bit of a party tonight to celebrate; singing Happy Birthday in the field and munching carrot cake.

I've still got to get her a birthday pressie. I really don't know what to get. I mean, what do you get a 21-year-old pony who has everything. She's already got umpteen rugs, headcollars, bridles, brushes... there really is nothing new she needs.

PS Thanks to everyone who's sent her a card and especially Sophie Lear, from South Wales who sent her a feed voucher. Sophie won the voucher in a competition but doesn't have a pony of her own so thought Tippy would appreciate it.
