Irish Horse Welfare TrustAs I was mucking out this morning I was in a reflective mood as I have been for the past week or so. I have such a full and varied life and this past month sums it up. In December alone I have saved a dogs life in court, been to a memorial service, celebrated some wonderful moments with my beloved family and with my friends, laughed, cried, worked with some difficult dogs, helped horses in distress, written, blogged, attended some wonderful events with my family with our celebrity hats on, enjoyed the company of our own animals, reconnected with old friends and made new ones too. I have been interviewed on the radio and for a magazine about my new book co-authored with my good friend Marie Miller and had meetings to discuss future television projects. 

This is my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way but if I had to choose one part of my work that I had to concentrate on it would, without doubt, be the rescue side.  Standing in the icy yard at the IHWT last week, drinking a cup of hot coffee whilst listening to Fairytale of New York playing on the radio I turned to look at the bay show jumping mare looking over her door with a look of total joy in her eyes and I knew without a shadow of a doubt, that this aspect of my job is where my heart truly lies.

May 2010 bring you all that you hope for and I wish you, and your animals, well.
