Why did I push myself? why try for a stupid time over 5km? Well too late No point gnashing gums over the 'if only's' I did that 5km in just over 15mins and felt like an Olympian that evening.... only to pay a whopping penalty for such vanity the next day and ever since.
The right knee is seriously sore even with a patella band on it and backing right off the speed ( I could seriously walk fast than I'm running right now argh! )
Taking advice from them in the know I've now restricted my running exercise to zilch for a few days and bought some glucosamine chondroitin MSM
I could cry, I so want to be out there doing not sat inside getting lazy again...dog walking is okay but Pearl Fat Lab can't cope with bright sunshine and it does trigger her fits so we're confined to the gloom of early morning/evening which in turn restricts distance...Can you feel the first wave of despondency yet?

Here's the second wave...how much more slog does it take to get income in for charities? I'm running myself ragged, know that Jane is doing likewise if not more, appreciate that several other trustees have got health issues and troubles but for ****'s sake COME ON!!!
We can only survive for so long before going under, weighed down by outgoings we can't meet and a slide off of income it's like working on the side of an icy mountain right now.
Remember this EMW-UK the charity has NO waged staff, just insane volunteers who should be certified for working as hard as they do for nothing much in return except horses and ponies being brought back to good health from walking skeletons, horses and ponies who have regained their trust in humans once more after suffering terribly in evil hands, except seeing young foals grow into confident mature horses, except for knowing that there are super homes out there with kind people and that a placed horse will live his life out in that home but that, just incase, he still has this charity safety net underneath him.

Right now things are the toughest they have been - ever.
Listen up, I'm no fient hearted willowy thing, I'm tough and strong and I will carry this charity on my shoulders but there will come a time when I can't...so what then, do we shoot all residents? do we walk away?.....you tell me, answers on a postcard...but here's the crack, if you want equine welfare in places like auctions and want a charity that will speak to you direct, if you want a safety net under horses no matter how small then HELP in anywhichway you can...and do it today.

Okay nag over, who wants the EMW-UK need list top 10 again?....answer is All of you do! so here it is... running in order of need not fantasy - see 9 and 10 for lottery win dream land!
1) URGENT NEED - AS IN YESTERDAY - OF REPLACEMENT TRANSPORT FOR THE CHARITY TO USE - BE THAT LORRY OR TRAILER
Any help/donation of vehicle in full running order/donation of funds to purchase said vehicle. Business support welcome, we'll carry your logo and advertising on everything and it's brother. Tell us what, we'll do it.

2) Mobile field shelters/stables, we need 2 decent size ones - 20x10 - on skids. Again donations/company support all really appreciated. We got one last year and it's in full whack use which has shown us how much more 2 extra ones would enable us to do, how many more horses/ponies desperate for a sanctuary place we could take on board .
3) Anyone got a quad? we haven't but could get such huge use from one and if there was a trailer on it wow - you'd be our new best friends! Imagine that, easy poo picking twice a day every day of the year for our volunteers.
4) A strange one now, anyone run a porta loo business? we could use one on a kind of free to us contract in the yard but need you to be able to do the emptying etc...

5) We need another 20 stable mats, New or used, our horses aren't fussy Would make for easier mucking out and for those with COPD an absolute necessity.
6) Always happy to accept donations of hay but sadly, unless 1) is fulfilled can't collect it so any offered could delivery be included if possible? hugely appreciated
7) Feed companies - in particular BAILEYS - any chance of some free feed over the Winter months for our older resident horses? Just half our monthly usage would make a big difference to funding needs. That equates to 8 mix andhey! SPILLERS - how about helping us out with HAPPY HOOF? We'll happily accept 6 bags a month and love you for it!

8) Think we must have a gremlin in the tack store...it's the case of the vanishing pony size headcollars??? We are overjoyed to accept copious amounts of these..
9) Now we're getting silly but hey ho...who's got some land we can use close to Bromyard? We would love a redundant cattle yard with lots of lovely concrete for our fat ponies to use for summer slimming and nice warm barn for our old boys in the winter -cosy and easy to travel to and from for volunteers.
OKAY HERE IT COMES..THE ONE WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR..AND LOTTERY WINNERS/MILLIONAIRES VERY WELCOME!
NUMBER 10
This charity currently does not own any ground and that's fine but to ensure it's future and security for it's horses and ponies
All singing all dancing number 10 asks for a bequeath of stables and grazing in the name of EQUINE MARKET WATCH Sanctuaries UK We will be pleased to discuss any conditions and proposals if our good luck fairy waves her sparkly magic wand and this dream comes true.
For all the above you can e-mail emw@emwuk.org.uk or talk to a real person on 07870860825
