Hey Ellen,

Long time no hear....How have you been..THis is a photo of my newest horse Talunga aka Mickey. He is an 10 year old Standardbred and a really good boy. I have some sad news to pass along to you. Star was put down over a year ago and I only found out about it quite recently from his last owners. I had moved out of the country by then and they could not reach me. Now that I know I still miss him like mad but he is in a better place. Hopefully pain free now and enjoying the pastures in heaven. Other than that I am waiting for this heat snap to break and I can start riding my horse again. I got a new saddle a little while ago and have not been able to ride much since I started working in an office again. Lilian had to give up her horse and she misses Athena like mad but she is highly allergic to them and now if she goes near them she goes into anafalactic shock. Well keep in touch and write soon.

Miss you loads.
