THE VERY BEST NEWS!!!

Said big horse is currently feeling very very well! The cortisone jab has finally kicked in and he's lost a lot of weight which must help. He's in light work at the minute- mostly short plods but this is fine as i feel it gives him an interest.

Yesterday i decided the ground was good and a lovely grass field had been cut so i gave him the reins and said his favourite words "go on then" and off he went up to the top of the field where he pulls up.....only he didn't it took a whole circuit of large field to stop the beast! I ache today like you wouldn't believe form trying to pull him up. ;-)
when he did stop he was really animated and snorty prancing absolutely loving it.

Now normally a horse pi***** off with his rider obviously wouldn't be ideal but in this case i am celebrating! He feels good and seems happy again, where as i'm not going to encourage buggering off with me i'll give him that blow out, just this once :-)))

I know its not long term buy we are enjoying a good patch
 
We certainly did! he had a day in the field today incase we had over done things but he trotted over to the gate when i pulled into the yard sound enough.
 
I know what you mean after a year of my horse on box rest and treatment. I been walking for twenty mins a day decided to take him in the field just for a change normally never naughty and only does as he told. soon as he saw the jumps in the field exploded could i stop him not in hells chance. he took me straight over a jump then walked had tears`in my eyes with sheer joy as nearly lost him due to his injury
