Thank you Jackie! I see from the picture that we share a passion and that is horses. For historical perspective, when I received the Gift 25 years ago I was instructed to have no contact with animals, especially outdoor animals. Well, at the time, we had 3 horses, a mini donkey, a goat and 3 cats so that was a tall order! I did not touch any of them for the first 6 months and then a friend who happens to be a neurologist who has horses explained to me that for people in the medical profession, because their profession requires a sterile environment, the thought of horses/donkeys/goats was equivalent to a pig sty and full of germs, bacteria and filth, therefore an open ticket to illness. She put me at ease that I would be ok provided I used common sense of hygiene and that is how I have lived my life, loving them all. What rules were you given? Did you have CF?
