2009 started off very sadly at Donabi UK with my beloved partner John Spriggs being taken in to hospital on 2nd January and tragically dying on 3rd March. Hence the horses have very much been a low priority. Amongst the huge support John gave me in all aspects connected with the horses, was his design and maintenance of our website, consequently it has not been updated since last year. Over the next few weeks that will be hopefully be put right, thanks to the kindness of a close friend who has generously offered to maintain it for me.
