January Newsletter

Happy New Year to you all - January is marching on for how ever many weeks it has left!

I hope you are doing ok in this cold and wet weather.

Shaun Update

As some of you might have heard, Shaun had a slab fracture in his tooth, which caused him to stop eating. It took a few days to diagnose the problem, which meant very careful management and lots of regular small meals to keep his tummy full alongside pain relief. Our vets Stringer Equine have been absolutely amazing with plenty of support and guidance during quite a stressful time. Shaun is doing better but we will keep monitoring the situation. I wanted to thank you all for your kind words for Shaun and I. He is one special pony.

Podcast

Over the Christmas holidays, I launched a podcast - short, bite-sized segments you can download and listen to. You can download episodes from my website www.withthehorse.co.uk/podcast or via Amazon Music, Spotify etc by searching ‘With The Horse Podcast with Nell Candelaria’. The episodes are released every Sunday and today’s is ‘Winter Cheat Tips’. Please let me know if there are any topics you would like me to cover.
