Post-Christmas

I hope everyone had a lovely few days - and if you were the recipient of any great horse-related Christmas presents, please share!

I got my first and one of my favorites before Christmas, from Hannah:

Not the saddle - that is very old and has been mine for many years, and will be the subject of a future post. No: the brand new rack underneath! I had posted that I didn't have one yet, and then one arrived at my door. Awesome. :) I can't wait to take it everywhere this summer.

I spent Christmas down in the Boston area with my family, and managed to catch some kind of nasty bug that I am still recovering from; I spent Christmas Eve & Day nauseated, weak, and feverish, with occasional interludes of congestion. I still haven't quite kicked it, which means I am very out of it at work this morning, trying to nibble on graham crackers as my first real food since Monday, and might not make it to the barn tonight. Yay.
