I know it's only been a few days since you've been up in Caithness but I thought I would let you know that Basil (bay pony, Halkirk) is much brighter and going forward!

We rested him as you said and then went to her instruction on the Saturday and it's the first time ever that we've had an instructor actually say to us "slow down your pony!" Jillian laughed and so did I.  He was going really good and lasted the whole lesson.

've contacted a friend of mine who was my yoga teacher and qualified in herbal remedies , she is going to make up a tincture for him for his headaches and something for his waterworks.  Meantime I have got Jillian out looking for all the dandelion heads she can find.  I've started him on Bach's rescue remedies as well.
