I rarely post on a personal note, but thought you should know

Many have asked about the horses and why I don't ride them any more. Hopefully this video will answer a lot of your questions. Fingers crossed that today's procedure goes according to plan and alleviates a lot of the pain I have been in for the last number of years. I think it was in November 2016 when I had the accident which caused this injury. Pain, as anyone who has it knows, is exhausting and can grow to be very demoralising. I debated with myself as too wether or not to post this since I filmed it yesterday morning. But as I might be out of commission for a few days or more I thought it best to let you all know.

Zwartbles Ireland is a small company run from a farm in County Kilkenny in Ireland. We are a regenerative farm which means restoring soils health and regenerating its natural carbon and nutrient cycle with biodiversity of pasture sward with grasses, legumes, forbs and herbs. This also means we farm with nature. Healthy soils are important for healthy environment. So we encourage all life from the microbial to dung beetles, ants, pollinators to flora biodiversity, birds, hare, hedgehogs, rabbits, fox, badger as well as our livestock. This mean we farm in a style of mob grazing and giving fields long rest times between grazings. We have seen a huge increase and return of wildlife including woodcock and snipe in winter months foraging for dung beetle larvae, red squirrel, wood peckers and pine martens. We also have the rare natter bat and previously thought extinct Tawny Mining bees.
We sell, Zwartbles sheep, Zwartbles blankets and yarn made from the sheep, and calendars featuring Inca the World's Smallest Sheepdog and her coworkers. We also sell alpaca yarn spun for our own alpaca. Our yarns are 100 percent natural, grown by our sheep which grazing our small green Irish fields. This wool is naturally sequestered carbon which you can then knit into warm environmental friendly clothing.

OMG Suzanne, I found your channel all those years ago on Vine. While I was flat on my back for 3 years. You’ve brought me such joy & Peace in some of my darkest times. I call upon the Universe to repay you in spades! I’ll be praying for your team, you & your recovery. I’m struggling with a numb arm myself the last 2 months. I had no idea you were carrying all these issues too. Thank you for sharing your procedure journey. See you soon on the farm. Glad Sis loves Thistle like we all do ! Namaste and a Speedy recovery to you! I’ve been getting regular lumbar rhizotomies for the last 6 years. I’ll be getting my neck injected in August. I have so much respect for all your hard work on the farm. Love & Light ❤️🌞

Suzanna I sympathize so much and I will be thinking of you and sending you lots of healing energy. I am actually having spinal surgery myself in less than two weeks and have also been in pain for two years and not sleeping, but unlike you I have not been trying to run a farm at the same time—I don’t know how you did it!! I look forward to more of your wonderful posts very soon. Be well my friend!!
