Ok may not be a big deal for some people but after the serious lack of brakes, hence we now ride in a double bridle rather than the snaffle, we seem to have turned the corner

Had a really good lesson on Friday night so thought I'd just hack this weekend.
Went with sis and friend last night down the old railway line and on the grass did some trot work. Also sis and friend cantered in front and Pidge trotted behind. He was ace, a little keen but when I said no we're just trotting he settled and was fine

Did canter on bit of soft ground just for about 15 strides and it felt really good.
this morning went the other way down the railway line and while sis and friend did lots of trot work we just walked behind them nice and calm, but on the buckle end of the rein

As long as Pidge could see them he was fine

Pointless post really but am just really chuffed at how chilled out he was and the brakes seem to be coming back too

Having met Pidge on several occasions, I can vouch for the fact that he is a very big, strong lad, with a definite mind of his own, so this is excellent news!

I bet he looks really posh in a double bridle as well!

thanks both, and Jane he's filled out even more since you saw him last September and I've measured him at 17hh now

I must admit he does look rather sexy in the double bridle as it has white piping which suits him well, so will have to see if I can get some photos of him in it. Did bring a tear to my eye the first time I put it on him as it was Higgs bridle

thanks fingers crossed for Wednesday when vet reassesses him

how long does it take for bute to get out of his system as he had 1/2 satchet Friday morning and none since then?
 
Hiya
I don't know actually how long bute sticks around in the body for - But for the therapeutic effects to wear off I should think 3-4 days tops.....So you should be OK......x
