A Guest Blog By Jan Daley At the end of August we finally replaced my (dead!) car with a Ford Custom van for easy transport of The Boys and cart in 1 vehicle; no towing required! After a few covid-induced false starts, we customised it with 2 new bulkheads, a water heater, roof-rack, ladder, and […]

A Guest Blog By Jan Daley March 2020! The beginning of an interesting time for the citizens of our islands! Personally, we are blessed. We have 3/4 acre of garden/paddock miles from anywhere, with beautiful scenery. We chained our gates, The Husband did the shopping, and the weather was fabulous. I long reined Rebel up […]

A Guest Blog By Jan Daley January 2020 saw Rebel and his goat companion Snowy (The Boys) going to live with Pony Borstal Lady (PBL) for a couple of months for re-schooling since I wasn’t physically or emotionally fit enough to do the groundwork. My confidence was at an all-time low, and only the thought […]

A Guest Blog By Jan Daley On pain of death – or my beautiful HyperBike being angle-ground into inch long pieces – I was forbidden to risk my or Rebel’s life or limbs for the foreseeable future. Rebel’s behaviour, even in the exercise cart, deteriorated. On grooming, harnessing and leaving the yard he was an […]

A Guest Blog By Jan Daley The HyperBike is a very innovative vehicle. It has a low centre of gravity, and a wide axle. It is very stable, and as mentioned, is light – 13.5kg – and very strong. Having made my adjustments, got my harness altered, and done everything I could think of, I […]

A Guest Blog By Jan Daley Coming into summer 2019, the weather was amazing. Perfect for tootling around our quiet country roads, even better, I was starting to look forward to taking Rebel to the beach. Or Tollymore Forest Park. Anywhere off-road where we could up our game and have fun together. The new cart […]

A Guest Blog By Jan Daley 2019 started well. By March, Rebel – now nearly 9yo – was getting trim and fit. I’d given him a really dreadful bib clip, as although the weather was improving and he was sweating up, it was still very changeable. I was finding the exercise cart heavy for me […]

A Guest Blog By Jan Daley My lung function took another plunge. 28% function compared to my healthy equivalent. We were now getting into scary territory. I found that instead of 30 mins to groom, harness and put to, it was taking me nearly an hour. I was having to spend a day or 2 […]

A Guest Blog By Jan Daley A couple of weeks after that iconic (for me) drive, we were on one of our usual 6.5mile drives, when an impatient motorist came speeding up behind us as we started down a hill. Rebel tried to trot on, tripped, and fell on the road, cutting his knees. I […]
