Bummer

Nigel woke up this morning complaining of pains in his chest and was having difficulty breathing so we decided to get it checked out. I thought it might be related to the altitude here or the stress of having made a big change in his life recently. Zineb brought us to the local private clinic and he was seen very quickly They did the necessary tests and he has been diagnosed with a heart problem so cant ride any further. We are waiting to see what a specialist cardioligist says but he may have to go off to Marrakech to be treated. What a bummer.


Spent the rest of the day visiting hospital & sorting some stuff out for Nigel. Eventually went to the souk and bought Betsy (or at least the outside of her) to sit on. I was fleeced (no pun intended) when I paid DH280 for her but it was the only sheepskin in town. She was a big 'un and would have covered 4 saddles :-).
