After our rather exciting last hack I thought I would just crack on this week with a few more rides. It is Ethans last week, this week (before April holidays), so it's now or not for ages.
Carats was much happier today and had a lovely groom and was fab to be tacked up. He of course was brilliant to ride and was really soft and relaxed across his back, I am hoping thats a good sign that he is more willing to use himself properly and therefore maybe, just maybe feeling better in his back legs. I also think the Bowen treatment plus using the massage pad has helped him.
He is really enjoying his turnout and we have made sure there is plenty in the wood chip paddock for him to do. He has a big pile of hay on the floor plus a hay net at the other end of the paddock. He also has his treat ball at times, a field lick, toys etc. He still loves his stable and is always ready to come in but I think the paddock is better for him as it promotes more movement and therefore blood flow which is all good.
Fingers crossed for dry weather this week as would love to be able to ride him once or twice more this week :)
