Hi 2007 volunteers

Had a message from Georgie to say that you RVC guys are having a reunion soon and that Emma is also coming - enjoy! Wish we could join.

Just a quick update on Honey Monster (will post a photie of the "new" monster soon)

While Des (her new owner) was away on a well deserved holiday her well meaning care taker (important not to mention names here) decided not to reduce her concentrates. To make a long story short, Honey turned into Monster, when Nikki
and myself went to tick spray her, Nikki decided to bare back her to her stable. I was leading Honey - was of course not walking in her shoulder - Nikki had the bottle with tickspray, fly fringe etc in her hands. Next instant Honey shoulders
me into the ground (I have the scars to prove it) and takes off with Nikki towards some nearby trees with low branches - Nik holding several items in her hands. The obvious happened. Now Monster is a rehab case of a different kind.

The good news is her eyes are sparkling and she is oozing confidence - real job satisfaction for her on the successful training of her human caretakers.

Will let you know how the first training session goes.
