Hmmm?

So I have spent the last month hmm'ing and haar'ing. Some days C seems to be fantastic and others, not so much.

Our first group hack!

The bad bits, he quite often 'rests' his rear legs when standing tied up or chilling out. I also think he has has to adjust weight a lot to pick up his front feet when I pick them out etc.

The good (I think) bits. He has been lovely and forward going to hack out, he has now had two group hacks (yippee) which have been wonderful and he has strode out like a total dude. He is also willing to stretch and soften over his back when hacking and long reining which is lovely to see.

Also he has had a few yee-hah moments in the wood chip pen, bucking, rearing and pansying around like a youngster- he thinks he is hilarious!

Generally he seems to be feeling well, however I know that does not mean that he is fixed at all. To be quite honest in my heart or hearts I don't really believe his scans will show any improvement. But a girl can hope.

This month I will up his hacking and introduce a teeny bit of trot so we can get a good view when we scan of how much if at all we can push on.

It was his 15th Birthday last week and to celebrate I took him for a nice walk and let him scoff some lush grass- food is his life so he wouldn't have wanted it any other way! He also got some new hi-viz leg wraps, a snuggy fleece and a box of treats. Fingers crossed to lots more birthdays together :)

Anyway, he is being a spoiled brat lately, kicking his door, digging and head butting people for food.... typical C! Lovely to ride though of course :)

Oh... and LOVING this weather!

Carats Birthday Walk & Hand Graze- yum!
