The following is the blog of my wife Gill with her lovely horse 'RosieB'.

After losing her favoured mare Dozer some 10 years prior to getting RosieB, Gill took time out from riding. I have badgered her ever since to get back into the riding, something I knew she loved so much, but the loss of Dozer took its toll.

I finally managed to get Gill back into the saddle and we bought Cookie in January 2011. This unfortunately went seriously wrong and we lost Cookie in January 2012.

Gill now has Cloneleigh Ebony Rose, aka 'RosieB', and this, in her own words, is her blog of her journey with RosieB.
