I have put some videos on you tube mucking out and putting beds down, the link is further down this page

Happy 2010 to you all! Thank you to everyone who has emailed me and given me the confidence that what I am doing was worth doing………………. Thank you all so much. Many times I thought that this web site of mine wasn’t worth the time or effort that I had put in to it……..

Thank you again to all of you that have read my web page and if you thought it was a bit of alright passed it on to others. I would love you to send more pictures of you and your horses or any topics that you think I could cover, or even any thoughts you have on our wonderful horses….

To any one who accessed this site through hole in the heart God Bless to all of you, and again thank you for all the emails, I hope that I have helped get rid of some of your fears.

I have also now started a forum for people with Atrial Septal Defect ( hole in the heart) on face book...... so if any of you are like me with this defect please join us! here is the link

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?v=info&ref=mf&gid=163751212891 when you get in there click on the wall and there you will find us :-))

There is music to all of my pages...... I hope you enjoy it :-))

My name is Tonette and I have been around horses most of my life, I have been lucky to have ponies in my younger years and horses in my adult years.

I am not a vet, just a woman who adores horses and animals. We have 2 Horses as you will read in this web site Gleannmhor Cadet and our little Dimbleby Pip.

Why have I decided to make this site? mmmmmm I must be mad :-) I do not make any money from this site, not a penny. So it is not for money! It is my love of horses and often hearing how horses do not cost a lot of money or time to keep. This is what made me decide to do this site........ I also thought it would be fun and I would meet some new people (which I have .... Hello!!!)

I have Written my experiences and how I look after our two horses and how much they cost. Also there is I think everything that I could think of on basic horse care. I have also put a horses health couple of pages on with links to different places, so if you don't know what a horses pulse, respiratory and temperature should be have a look on there...... I must admit I learnt a lot while researching for the horses health bit.

There is also a Laminitis page which lists symptoms and also links you to the laminitis trust web site..... have a look it is a good one

I have also now decided to give you all a laugh so you can watch me mucking out Caddys and Dimbys stables or putting their beds down :-) Click on any of the black underlined and it should take you there :-)

Here are the links they are on you tube

There is an ASD (hole in the heart) page for any one like me who has this defect.....As we know there are not many of us and that is why I decided to write about my own experiences. :-) For those of you who are following me on this I update it as my health develops or not :-)

Thank you for all the emails they are treated in the strictest confidence and never shared with anyone else, it is so good to talk to others with the same defect. I reply to all emails and really do understand how scary it all can be! love to you all with the HOLE in my heart :-)

I have now put a link to facebook from the Atrial Septal Defect page. This is for any of us who want to have a chat with others who are waiting closure or who have had closure.... or any one who wants to pop in and say hello.

Adults Atrial Septal Defect If you click on the black underlined Atrial Septal Defect it should take you there, once you are in click thwe wall bit at the top of the page and there you will see us all!.......
