Financially Stable?

Well, things have been quiet lately. The horses are all going out on part loan to help pay for the supplies we need before winter get here again. Tralee has already got someone to loan him who is a good rider but has lost confidence. She has been riding without fail in all weather so we are hoping she will be an all-year loaner. Considering she was paying nearly £30 for a private lesson and travel costs per week she has saved herself a considerable amount of money as we are only asking £10 per week which should cover his shoes at the end of 6 weeks + a bit of hay money.
There are lots of things to be done and I seem not to find the time to ride much lately so it is just as well that even Nell will be put on part loan so that she is still getting the exercise. I am reluctant to let anyone else ride her but struggling financially is not an option and Mum and I have already decided that we would rather shoot the horses than sell them to someone who may not treat them properly. Grim discussion aside, the weather has been mild albeit dull and overcast and thanks to the school which my mum cleans chucking out an old goal post, I have some new jump poles. Strangely the interlocked poles are the perfect size for jumping and I have enough for the 5 pairs of jump wings that my Uncle is making for me soon, depending of course on how much he's going to charge me.
Nell is still suffering with her skin - her legs are still itchy and she now has sweetitch on her mane where she has been badly bitten. She had little bite absesses all the way up her central parting which we burst, applied sporal-D and TCP and have lagged her mane in aloe vera and aqueous BP to condition the roots and sooth the itching. The injection of ivermectin for feather mites has had no effect on her itchy legs and cost us an arm and a leg but at least they are all completely parasite free!
I'm hoping to update the banner as well a bit so expect some new pictures up there.
