If things don&#8217;t improve soon I&#8217;m going to put the horses out on to the street.<\/p>\n<p>But I don&#8217;t think Vin would earn much, three-legged thoroughbred horses are probably not in major demand.<\/p>\n<p>I hope that Vin will be sound again by the end of the week, he&#8217;s tweaked his near-fore by twatting about in the field like the <span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">3<\/span> 13-year old he is.<\/p>\n<p>But the big effort continues; a new contract or even a permanent role within a commutable distance.<\/p>\n<p>Soph&#8217;s going to be home all week, she starts her new job next week.
