"So glad to hear he is eating etc. I would have had the vet out immediately, there is always the danger of septicaemia, but then I am a bit trigger-happy where vets are concerned. Hope he'll be out there cavorting in his field in no time!"

Hi Margaretha,

I'm not a horse owner (although I used to have donkeys) so I'm not really sure what everything is called. However there are some blankets, some boots, clippers, hats - even I recognise those things!
I am a brocanteur and bought all this stuff as part of a house clearance I did last year. Some of it looks new but most is old. You're welcome to come and look through it if you wish.

Best wishes

Hi Margaretha,

Yes there is a golf course at Lannemezan, but I don't play golf so have never been.  There is also one just up the road at Montrejeau, next to the lake.  We often go there for a walk, and part of the way round the lake you  have to keep an eye out for wayward golf balls!!

Regards

Martin

Hello Margaretha,
Welcome to SFN from just along the road! We live close to Lannemezan, on the edge of the Baronnies.
