Search for a star

We at Cobwebs appreciate how hard some ponies and horses make our life.
Therefore we have come up with a really great idea to show our appreciation, we are deliberating over how we can show how hard a child/adult/horse/pony/helper/mum/dad/grannie/ you get the idea works.
So, we are proposing that a secret representative will be visiting selected shows throughout the coming season to search for a star.
It might not be the winning combination, it might be for the pony who has had a really bad start in life and is now back on track and out there competing. It might be the little lead rein pony with a tiny tot on board. It could be the first ridden guardian angel who never puts a hoof wrong but doesn't look the best as he's old, so never gets a placing - ever! It could be the long suffering dad who drives the lorry/car and trailer/leads the pony, who pays the bills, (all of them!) without a whimper (especially the vet's)or it could be you!!!!!
Please watch the website for further info as we think of how to do it, the winners of each show will win a little prize, get their photos on our website, and then the overall winner will have to be voted for for the Star of 2007 who will then win a bigger prize. Sound good? Let me know your thoughts.

Thank god thats over!

Well, now Xmas is well and truly over, I have eaten far too much and after putting back some of the weight I had lost, I have remotivated myself back onto the diet.
Having delivered some rugs back over the weekend, as hubbie drove the van into her yard, I could see her peering at the passenger (me!) frowning at me, she came to the van, as I opened the door and tried to jump out, stopping her three large dogs getting in and my boisterous labrador getting out at the same time was no mean feat!
However, having managed that I said "Hi, how are you?" She said "Wow, I just did not recognise you" isn't that nice, not sure if its the Annie Lennox hair cut, or just the fact that I had lost six stone in weight and she hadn't seen me for a year (Graham does all the delivering not me!)but golly it does make you feel better when someone notices your weight loss (especially after you have been a bit bad and eaten things you shouldn't).
Thank you Caroline, you know it's appreciated and Tom is still a little git
