Hi, my name is Mickey (Landside Mikado). I am a survivor and a very very lucky boy - not that I remember much.
My entry to this world was unknown to me and was a bit of a miracle. My mum, Landside Medusa did her best for me despite being ill, but like normal births, mine unfortunately was different (in veterinary terms it is classed as 'red bag delivery'. Lucky for me, the people around me (Anne and Aga) fought for my life and I survived. The condition I arrived in after calls to the vet didn't give me much chance of survival, but with everyone's help and instant response and actions by Anne, I survived and am now a growing young boy (thanks to Aga and everyone else).
Hopefully, you might be seeing me soon next to you in the show ring. the vet thinks I'm wonderful and a miracle (she's not bad either except when she sticks that syringe in me). I now belong to Aga but know my adopted mum Anne is still close by,
My mum Medusa has gone to run in pastures in the sky but I am going to make her proud of her loving son.
