I'm going to get bucked off now, aren't I?
Forgot to tell the farrier that ALf doesn't like pink

Can he see? Maybe he won’t notice ?
Auslander

He sees everything. Even if he doesn't appear to notice at the time, he knows...
There was a lot of snorting about the farrier putting surgical gloves on so he could put Rebound under the pads, so he was on particularly high alert. He doesn't trust people in surgical gloves

That’s very understandable! Surgical glove wearers are often totally dodgy.

It's how good Aus is at landing that is of most concern!

As excited as Kitty about to be a bridesmaid
Thank you for flying Air-Alf

In answer to various questions, I am pretty accomplished at staying put, and I try to avoid emergency landings, as I don't think I'd bounce as well as I used tp.
That said, I've flown many times, so would award myself at least a Highly Commended for that skill

My advice would be this: wear pink from head to tie and re sensitise the bu***r before he notices. I’m sure it’ll be fine.

True, but the take off and flight path have a bearing on the landing ?

Last time he dumped me - he fired me so high into the air that I must have done a forward roll, as I landed on my feet right next to him!

Yeah, I’ve managed that trick once.
I really enjoy your posts a about him; your love for him shines through.

Good plan! Make pink the norm… and send photos ?

I've already tried to desensitise him to pink. Not gonna happen

Mm, you see i feel like you went about it the wrong way. To a horse a pink rug may be more acceptable than a bra. You may well have done the very opposite, having been seen in public in a pink bra, he’s now going to be super cautious.
Hold on tight…

He didn't much like the rug. It was known as "the pink rug of shame", and he only wore it when he really annoyed me!

Nice! So threaten that if he plays up about the trainers?
Auslander

I dont have the rug any more. Sold it once we'd reached an agreement about not decking me

On a positive note, the Rebound, dental putty, pad combo appears to have done the trick - he looks a lot sounder, and isn't resting one front any more. He has really bad bruising, hence the intervention

It was a lifesaver for one of mine a while ago and super helpful for current horse last winter.

I just wormed him. He is definitely plotting my demise
