Even if some members aren’t spotted too often, it’s nice to know how they’re keeping. Elaine popped up out of the trees during the week and reported that she’s thoroughly enjoying her new career as a mother. Baby Shay was delivered in the aftermath of Ardara Show in July, allowing his mother complete one of her major annual undertakings. He’s thriving now and Elaine is relishing the time she has to spend with him.
Her young Connemara, Gus, has found a new home in England and Elaine doesn’t expect to jump back into the hothouse of horse-ownership all too soon. She is however greatly looking forward to getting back in the saddle and expects to be there in another month or so. Hopefully we’ll see her out with the club in 2011.
