HI,

I just wanted to share with you a story about a 18hh Warmblood I call Teddy. Vannessa has met him when she visited me in Vic earlier in the year.,
Well Teddy and I met about 4.5mths ago at the Ballarat Horse sales it was raining and cold I saw him come in but didnt really look as I wasnt there to buy a horse.
Well something weird happened I felt the need to run into the bidding ring as he was coming in and you may or not believe me but it was a case of Devine Intervention. I dont really know what happened but the room suddenly went white and empty like no one but me and the horse were there and I started bidding on him (the room was actually blue in colour) I won the winning bid which wasnt very high then sat there and thought OMG what have I done????
I raced out to catch the previous owners to find out what his name was and got a very abrupt well your not getting his papers with what you paid and threw a name at me then walked off. A lady came up to me and said she would like to buy him off me I beat her in the bidding apparently and she stopped cause he was dripping wee all morning in the yard. I said no!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then had to get him home I didnt bring a float and lived 135kms from the sales so I hired a float and he didnt fit in the float so eventually some other people where there going my way so I took a pony they bought and they took him in their bigger float.
Well the next day the poor big fella could hardly walk my guess is that he had been drugged for the sales.
I got out my massure and she said that he may have even broken his neck at some stage. He could hardly walk straight wobbling all of the place and his neck was like golfball notts. After a week of massage it was amazing he seemed to be improving so the massure said to slowly start riding him at a walk for a few weeks then trot ect. up and down some low hills.

Well I worked with him slowly and also worked with some herbs and energy healing and massage and well he still is weak in the hindquarters but they are getting better and better we went for a ride yesterday and he went to a medium canter.. I let him choose what pace he wants.

Now the big news is Teddy (as i named him) or his registed name Warina Winston won the led warmblood and champion at the Colac show so he has improved out of site and to think he could have endered up dog meat. Still have more to do but I believe in him..

I would add his pic from the show but cant work out how you get it on this page
