A rough night!

It was a stormy night. Thunder, lightning and rain squalls passed overhead. I had to get up five times to change Annie's covering.

3 saturated horse rugs are hanging up to dry and most of the large towels in the house have been used. The sun pops out briefly in between showers though, and miraculously, Annie has made it through the night.

Piers didn't leave her side for a moment in spite of the weather and honked frantically twice when she managed to contort herself into a U with her head twisted behind her. Propping her up on pillows solved the head problem and first thing this morning she drank a whole litre of fluids from her old baby bottle.

She's not out of the woods by any means, but I'm taking hope from the fact that she's sitting up and drinking!
