Kizzy has finally been allowed out of the barn and back out into the field. I put her out lunchtime today. Went through the gate and I took off her headcollar, gave her some polos and reminded her that she was free to go now. She mooched off sniffing the ground, had a nibble of grass, and then she had a sudden realisation of freedom.

Off she went like a rocket kicking her heels in the air. All the others in the field came over to run round with her.

Fantastic Very Happy

Its just typical isn't it - someone borrowed my digicam last week and I haven't got it back yet. I did take a couple of video clips with my phone but I don't know how to show it here. I can transfer it from my phone to my computer but it only plays on the Nokia player. If anyone has any bright ideas....

Very nearly. She has slight swelling around her jawline, but hopefully a few days grazing and stretching will help shift this. After about a week I will be able to start to bring her into work. Just 10 minutes at a time at first, gradually building up over about a month.

I've got to get her fit because we've had the offer of a trailer to borrow whenever we like to go to shows!

Debcat - she's been in for nearly 2 months - I've never seen her buck and kick up her heels as she did today, it was wonderful to see. I'm a bit concerned that she might never want to come back in now! Shocked
