3rd Time Lucky for Mikas Wolf Tooth

Its gone completely this time. John from 3 Counties Equine Clinic called this morning and took out a piece of what he described as sharp bone! It was like a tiny razor. I am so relieved as I was convinced by how he was going that there was still a problem. He would go beautifully for a while then suddenly violently argue throwing his head about and then go on sweetly again. No wonder he shot sideways in some of his dressage movements on Sunday!

Sad news this week from breeder Joy Lewis. Last year she had Token of Honour, Token Bow Nink and White Water Mountain Music put down. They were all old and deteriorating in their ability to get about. These horses are Mikas Uncle, Grandma and Grandad. Also related in a similar way to Butterfly, Josie Jump, Duvet Day, Mister Bojangles, Toby Two Tone and the advanced eventer Token Gesture. All but the latter were my horses and all jump brilliantly. Token Of Honour (below) was a huge giant and gentleman of a horse, he would take an hour to woo his mares and never sired anything but coloured foals, lets hope his niece Rif Raf can produce a TB clone of him next year.
