....he was an absolute dope!
Chico had colic surgery in April and yesterday was the 5 month mark that meant I could get back on board.
I tacked him up, walked him into the school, jumped on and it was as if he had never been off at all.
He immediately softened into the contact (actually better than before) and walked calmly and sensibly.
Several people had been shocked when i said i wasnt going to lunge him first, just get straight on, but I just knew he would be fine.
No real point to this, just happy to be back in the saddle.
(just to add a note to everyone who said they would never put a horse through colic surgery as they have no future afterwards, I hope you saw the horse competing in the Olympics who had had colic surgery! Just goes to show...)

so glad he's recovered and living a normal life, he is a lucky boy!
